Asking for Help
Ask clearly, share the work, and respect a brother’s answer.
The same people arrange supper, open the building and stay for cleanup. Name the particular job you need help with before asking someone to take it.

What it helps you do.
A task someone can accept freely—or an honest decision to reduce, postpone or stop work nobody can take.
Before you begin: Start with one job. A short request may be enough; use the longer workload discussion when the work itself needs changing.

A place to begin.
- Describe the work honestly, including travel, supplies, setup, cleanup and time.
- Ask one person privately with an actual choice. Say which part you can still handle.
- Confirm the agreed task, time and contact details. If he declines, make another plan.
Keep this in mind.
A request is not an assignment until someone agrees. A yes to one job is not a yes to every job left in the room.
A task someone can accept freely—or an honest decision to reduce, postpone or stop work nobody can take.
