FROM MERE MEMBERSHIP TO MEANINGFUL MINISTRY


YOU?
Are You?
You ready?
Are you really?
Ready to change?
From audience to army?
From armchairs to actions?
From the stands to the Field?
From membership to ministry?
From Spectator to Participator?
From the bleachers to the goal?
From consuming to contributing?
From being bored to having scored?
From indifference to making a difference?
From a being a wannabe to really becoming?
From the fun of receiving to the joy of relieving?
From talking discipleship to walking discipleship?
From leaning on His arms to becoming His arms?
From being personally served to serving personally?
From just enjoying His benefits to carrying our own cross?
From comfortable Pews to the smelly “Peeuuws! of serving?
From Sitting and Soaking to Serving and Yoking with the Builder
   of His church and Head of His Body; Who gave us His prayer request?


MATTHEW 9:37-38    NKJV
Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful,
but the laborers are few.  Therefore pray the Lord
of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
(LUKE 10:2)
