What the Pastor might not tell you?

Over the years I've met many Ministers, Pastors, Preachers, Teachers and I've listened to literally thousands of sermons. Live, on cassette, CD, DVD and Radio. I've read books, passed out tracts and I consider myself to be a lay member in the body of Christ.
It takes a special calling to stand in any of the offices of the Ministry and I have a deep respect for them for, baring that weight.
When Ministers operate their Ministry the Bible way God Blesses and their Ministry grows. Over time. But, what is it that they're doing, aside from their obvious Spiritual obligations? What? How? Why?

• What? They start a list of people who like their message and ministry. Then ask for an offering or to attend an event.
• How? The old school way was to send invites by mail and sell stuff. The web has changed all that. Domain names, Newsletters, Blogs and Face Book are some of the ways to operate a successful Internet ministry. They're continually building their list.
• Why? To generate an income stream for the operation of their ministry in the form of offerings and gifts. To build bigger buildings, buy more ministry tools and always reinvesting back into the ministry.

The idea is for the Minister to preach a message. The followers come to listen. Hopefully, when the followers leave the meeting they go out and invite others to the next service. Why? To duplicate his message.

See, now the minister has a few followers going out duplicating the message he gave them and inviting others to come and listen to the next service. Hopefully, after some time and effort the few become many and the ministry has grown.

I think that every Christian can do more for the Kingdom of Heaven today than they could have done 20 years ago. Even if it's a simple monthly newsletter about your Sunday School Class, Youth Groups or Organizations. Maybe you would like to share your story?

Keep in mind that even in Christianity there are those who fail. Most of the time it's simply because an individual is looking for a way to do more and doesn't have the guidance or tools they need in the carnal realm to get results. Yes, the pastor tells them to give and he does his best to lead the whole group Spiritually? They and you give money, time and energy freely, and the ministry does grow. Then, as soon as someone in the group wants to lead? The wall appears out of nowhere!

That's where I question their motives. They should, in my opinion help you, or any member start a ministry and make sure that you don't have the same troubles they had? Like "Rejection" and how to deal with it?

Have you ever asked someone to Church and they flat out told ya no? Depending on how close you are to Jesus? That can really hurt. Or, you do something for someone and they act like you were supposed to do it? Sometimes, "Christians can be real hurtful" in a loving way?

That's why our Ministry works so well! We show you how to avoid all that pain in your heart.

• No rejection
• No selling
• No money
• No problem!

Most importantly, no you don't have to leave your Church! In fact, we insist that you stay there! Pay your Tithes and Offerings there! You start being the one who is the "go to" member when a financial need comes up! Here are some ideas on how you can promote your ministry while helping your Church.

• A Sunday School class newsletter sent out to all parents and community.
• A domain name (Ex: www.MySundaySchoolClass.ws) Owned and operated by you so you know it's secure. No adult content allowed. Period.
• Offer free literature from your website or post links to your Church's Teaching tools that may be for sale.
• Blog about your Church's activities and offer free stuff on your Blog. Always building your contact list.

I'm not going to spend much time or energy warning you to always be careful on the Internet. But, don't let F.E.A.R. keep you from accomplishing your dream! No matter how humble or how great it may be?

• Do the thing that nobody in your Church is doing.
• Be consistent and creative.
• Be a Blessing and "Over Time" you'll be Blessed.

Guess what? All of these ideas are good ideas and would really allow you to stand out and be an asset to any ministry. Any religion, race or creed. Your light will shine brighter when you are a Blessing and I'd like to show you how. Just like Jesus did. Simple and FREE! It will however cost you some time. Just like it cost the Pastor time to get where he is. Ecclesiastes 3 - Pay close attention to 3 words in verse 14 (God Doeth It- GDI)

I'm glad that you made it to the end of this message. Mostly, I hope you get started today. The guidance and training are free. The people you inspire and lead to Christ are many. I'll show you the field that's ready for the harvest! Matthew 13:37- 44

Have a Blessed Day!
