13 ... His Heart Scribe Inspirations -- March / April 2014 ALTAR work. Nursery. Cleaning the church. Hospitality ministry. Community outreach. Do you still see helps ministries in the church? Do you believe they are important? In days gone by, helps ministries was the first avenue of church service required for anyone who felt they had a ministry call. While some found their niche in helps, others went on to do incredible things within the ministry, having that solid, purposed foundation, recognizing service as the key to ministry work. With modern trends pushing toward leadership, the ministries of helps have all but disappeared in favor of premature promotion and adaptation of offices and titles many do not properly understand. What are we missing in ministry today? In Ministry School Boot Camp: Training For Helps Ministries, Appointments, And Beyond, Apostle Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino, Ph.D., D.D. takes the participant through the meaningful and vital role helps ministries play in the function of the church. Learn about the various appointment ministries, assistants, volunteers, protocol, dress, and assignments – and their importance – all while learning the proper way to interact as a minister coming up under the work of helps. Whether you are working toward a greater ministry call or find your greatest joys in the various helps ministries, this book sets the participant on the straight and narrow of the forgotten art of church service. DR. LEE ANN B. MARINO, Ph.D., D.D. is Apostle in Office for Apostolic Fellowship International Ministries. Her teaching, preaching, conference hosting, education, and covering ministry encompasses twenty churches and ministries worldwide, many conferences, and thousands of ministry friends and partners. Apostle Marino is also Chancellor for Apostolic University, founder of Women of Power International, host of Power For Today television, radio and podcast programs, editor-inchief of numerous magazines, and author of numerous writings. With over fourteen years in ministry, education, and business, Apostle Marino is in many ways considered a modern pioneer of the apostolic educational movement, a move devoted to educating modern ministers and the church at large in all things essential for faith and ministry.
