MINISTRY WITH HEART
Are you seeking rejuvenation for your personal ministry or your fellow church members? As Christians, we treasure the Great Commission and seek to live it out with joy. As citizens of a broken world, however, we can feel burdened by the resistance, the chaos, and the rebellion we see around us. That’s why I believe God gives us the gift of Christian fellowship – for help in carrying these burdens, for spiritual encouragement, and for a reminder of the powerful Source from which we draw our strength to carry on.
Part of my mission with The Purposeful Heart is to equip and empower my fellow believers to speak into this broken world and find their unique ways to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus! We have such awesome opportunities before us at this challenging time in history! Dear fellow believers, this call is for you! The fields are ripe, and the harvest is waiting. How will you answer? What do you and your church members need to feel ready and renewed for action?
If we want healthy families, we need to know how to communicate well to nurture those relationships. If we want thriving marriages, we need to know how to build strong lines of communication and effective conflict management strategies to work through life’s struggles. If we want to fulfill the Great Commission and witness to a neighbor or co-worker, we need the abilities to relate, connect, encourage, and teach. Relationships are the essence of a God-pleasing life and the essence of fulfilling vocation.
I’d love to help you brainstorm. I’d love to encourage your weary heart. I’d love to empower you to pursue God’s purpose in your heart – whether it be building lasting connections with people, communicating the love of Jesus to a fallen world, or fulfilling the beautiful biblical goals of the Great Commission, the God-designed nuclear family, the joy of an identity in Christ, and a life of vocational calling lived in service to neighbor.
