Acts6,1 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them 4 and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word. 5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. 7 So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
*Grecian Jews:Hebraic Jews complained / Groups - some had no food. Some felt left behind. First time, that i can see some not good comment about the fellowship[their widows were being overlooked *in the daily distribution of food. >>> Some have been forgotten / INTENSE: IT WAS ABOUT EATING!]
*the Twelve / This was the leadership group?!
*all / All came together ~5000Man+ What a big group. How seriously they have taken this problem!
*It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. / Where is a church ore a group of churches ore a movement who does imitate this?
*who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. / Am i full of the Spirit & Wisdom? ... GOD PLEASE FILL ME UP WITH THE SPIRIT!
*and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word / 
Where is a church ore a group of churches ore a movement who does imitate this?
*This proposal pleased the whole group / This is interesting - how would that be today?Who would like to have a church leadership who is just praying and reading the bible and not doing anything else?
*They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also / Stephen is chosen now!
*They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. / The apostles had the final word... - interesting!
*So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith. / SO is written here. Like because they had no group who could not eat - and 7brother(for ~5000+ disciples who served now and the apostles who just prayed and red the Bible) THE NUMBER OF DISCIPLES IN JERUSALEM RAPIDLY GREW. and LARDGE NUMBER OF PRIESTS BECAME DISCIPLES.
>>>OK i make it simple - because i do not understand really: BUT  - am i praying and reading - most of my days? Am i looking for the needs in the church(my groups?) - am i helping out there?
>>>I do not pray as much as i read. I do not read as much as i meet people and help and organize.

>>>How can i pray more and read more? what will happen to the needs?

i think, this is my real question in organisation - not just get things done / but have day full of reading and praying and serve in between! - ?
