MINISTRY IS A BALANCED COMBINATION OF POSITION, RESPONSIBILITY AND LIFESTYLE TO SERVE GOD

INSIDE THE CONGREGATION WE ALL HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY AND WHEN WE DO IT TO HONOR GOD IT BECOMES YOUR MINISTRY.

The local ministry cares for the needs related to the church serving that area. The global ministry cares for the need that are outside of the local church capacity.

To do ministry the heart behind it is important to carry God's mission in the world.

What does this ministry accomplish? What do we need to start? Do we have the ability to sustain it? Is it aligned to the church vision?

Sometimes we are inconvenience by God's timing and fail to understand that our timing is not His timing. My inconvenience would never deviate God's plan.

Expectation – A strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future. A belief that someone will or should achieve something. Sometimes we put expectations on God and get discourage when are expectations are not met.

When we start to lose hope that God will arrive just in time, we are reminded that He already did it.

When we add love to our capabilities, we will impact the lives of others. When we add love to our competencies we will influence for good. When we add love to our behavior, we will create an example that can be followed.

Love is the key that open the path to new relationships, support and compassion. The greatest love that anyone can offer comes in the shape of sacrifice.

The devil, other people and ourselves are tempting us with what we want, even when we don’t know consciously. We need to be able to stand firm and affirm ourselves through scripture

Jesus vision for ministry was one that could recognize God greatness instead of their own accomplishments. Displaying reverence, proper representation, unity, identity, discernment and love in Christ.

Our roles as believers is to be accountable and fulfil our God's give responsibilities with a honest heart. Being the example for other to follow while resisting and finding balance in our lives.
