Like many of you, I was always told by my friends,
pastors, and family members that God had a ministerial call on my life. I had no problem believing God
had something great, wonderful, and awesome for
me to do in his kingdom, however I was always left
questioning myself about the culture and identity of
my ministry. Would my ministry look like my fellow
brothers and sisters in Christ? Would I preach like
my pastor behind a pulpit? Would I travel the world
like all of the great missionaries and evangelists I so
admired on TV? With all of these questions running
through my mind ministry seemed to be impossible
to embrace.
After years of trial and error and maturing in the
things of God, I discovered that many who are called
into ministry have no clue how they should operate
in it. Many base their ministry on an ideology of what
they think or been told it should be, therefore failing
to latch hold of what God creatively wants to do in
their lives.

I believe without a shadow of a doubt that ministry
is a personal endeavor. God has specifically imparted
unique things and assignments inside of each of you
that no one else on the planet earth can carry out.
Your ministry is not supposed to be canned or manufactured in a package that is identical to the next
person. The ministry on the inside of you is original.
Unanswered questions about ministry can lead to the
birth of ideologies! Many have questions surrounding
the context of ministry. What does the word ministry
mean? Where does Ministry take place? Discover some
answers about ministry in my new book entitled Ministry NOT Impossible “Developing Your Assignment For
Ministry”. Ministry can be frightening!
There are so many people in this world that God has
ordained for you to minister to that are waiting with
great anticipation, for you to use your authentic talents
and abilities. Learn the tools that take your ministry
out of the impossible!
