Our covering ministry is Challenge for Christ ministries, and Travel the Road was solely our mission arm, designed to expose people to what missions are, then connect them with agencies that send people out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Pastoral ministry is a sacrificial call with unique challenges. We are called to take the Gospel to those with hard hearts and blind eyes.
Preparation for a mission is important. A mission is a voluntary act of service to God and humankind. Missionaries support that privilege with their personal savings. Parents, families, friends, and donors to the General Missionary Fund may also assist.
Part of my driving desire as a pastor is to remove every obstacle except the cross that would keep people from coming to faith in Christ.
I see everything I do as an extension of the ministry. It's all about service.
The mission proper to the Church is that of proclaiming the Gospel.
One of the hardest jobs in ministry is keeping your own relationship with God where it needs to be.
From the beginning, this has been a faith-based ministry.
I am not officially involved now in the direction of the Teen Challenge ministry, but I rejoice that God permits me to be the father of these ministries.
Instead of being just a church that welcomes and receives by keeping the doors open, let us try also to be a church that finds new roads, that is able to step outside itself and go to those who do not attend Mass, to those who have quit or are indifferent.
Ministry is the least important thing. You cannot not minister if you are in communion with God and live in community.
