Your Service Is Your Ministry. Gone are the days when Pastors pride themselves (and then complain) about being too busy for the Lord. Busy doing almost everything themselves; from preaching to teaching, to praying, visitation, evangelism, counselling and even leading the Worship. This situation results in the Pastor wearing himself out while other ministries or gifts in the local church are left undiscovered, undeveloped or are stifled altogether. This book gives some insight into how you, the church worker, can relieve and release your Pastor to concentrate on the main vision God has given him by faithfully and effectively undertaking your service or ministry in the local church - as God intends. "This excellent resource ... sets out a road-map for those who are serious about bringing their best to God ..." - John Glass (Former General Superintendent, Elim Pentecostal Churches UK)
