Serving God Globally by Roland Hoksbergen Pdf

Dominating the daily news cycle today are the grim realities of grinding poverty, sex trafficking, gender discrimination, child soldiering, HIV/AIDS, failed states, corruption, and environmental breakdown. In the midst of such pain and brokenness, the followers of Christ cannot stand idly by, for God calls them into the mission of reconciling all things, first by easing suffering and then by building flourishing communities through the process of transformational human development. This practical handbook explains what development is, what development workers actually do, and how young people can prepare for mission careers in this field, both in North America and abroad. In addition to setting the big picture for how Christians approach the big questions of international development, the book draws on stories, advice, and wisdom collected from personal interviews with about fifty development professionals.

SERVING GOD by Taty Okuan Pdf

God did not create man to live alone. For the born again believer, the church of God is, and always will be the family established by God to ensure our spiritual growth to the fullest. Despite the abuses that may have occurred, it remains indispensable. Therefore, every Christian should belong to a local church, a unit of the universal Church, and be traceable by God and men. Yet still, questions like, “is serving God in a local church still necessary? Can I not serve God from the isolation of my home?” are been asked or have asked either innocently or in the face of several factors that have tainted the image of the church. This book propagates not only the importance and significance of serving in our local church, but also how, as plainly as it can be understood based on the word of God. For we are saved to serve! Read and be blessedly inspired to serve God in the family of God.

Serving God by Dr. Emily Capati Gaddi Pdf

Dr. Emily Gaddi obtained her doctorate from Pepperdine University in their School of Education and Psychology. Her major is Organizational Leadership. In accordance with Dr. Gaddi, regardless of what religion you are connected to, doesn't matter as long as you have faith in God. I came from a family wherein my Dad was a practicing Protestant and my Mom is Catholic. My Dad and the rest of his siblings had introduced me to different Bible stories as early as 4 years old, because I used to ask them to tell stories when I used to live with my grandma. Because of this, I was able to develop the importance of having God to be the center of my life. Having said that, I know that in everything you do, you need to put God to be the center of your life and everything will fall in its place. You need to get straight with Him and He will direct your path wherever you are, anywhere you go, and no matter what. Being in the mid fifties, I always asked God for important decisions that I have to make up to the extent of calling the Holy Spirit. Guess what, I tend to make the right decisions in life.

Serving God Wholeheartedly by Rev. Betty Prempeh Twimasi Pdf

We are in a time and dispensation where we may be familiarized with the saying “serve the Lord wholeheartedly”. But there is a lot of blessings hidden in the Lord should we serve Him with all that is in us. That is the main aim of this book. We are made to know how we could serve the Lord wholeheartedly and give ourselves the process to grow in the Lord. Serving the Lord Wholeheartedly is a book worth reading and you would want to give yourself the treat of enlarging your scope on this less spoken of area of the church. Not serving God wholeheartedly connotes unintelligence on our part and when we understand the word of God, this becomes an easier task to pursue. I have a role, you have a role and quite interestingly, God smiles when we obey Him in service.

Serving God with Style by Ronald C. Williams Pdf

Every church is driven by its faith in God, and seeks to grow that faith by guiding its members toward fruitful ministry. But in the face of accelerating change, congregations often find themselves spinning their wheels, exerting great amounts of energy to little effect: the faith is willing, but, faced with uncertainties, the results are weak. How can faith be transformed into productive ministry? Ron Williams, a recognized expert in ministry organization and development, has observed that as individuals better understand their own behavioral tendencies when dealing with uncertainties and exercising their "faith styles," the more intentional - and thus, more productive - they will be. To that end, Williams has created the "Servant Resource Faith-Style Inventory" that congregations can use as a tool in training ministry volunteers, developing ministry teams, educating ministry leaders, developing Christ-centered work-ethic training, empowering Christians in the secular workplace, and other ministry development interventions. Deeply informed by evangelical faith yet useful in a broad variety of ministry settings and traditions, the Inventory provides a useful instrument for congregations which have found that other self-evaluation tools borrowed from secular sources do not meet the particular needs of Christian churches. Dynamic and personal in tone, and faith-based in the deepest sense, Serving God with Style will help every congregation enhance ministry effectiveness for the glory of God.

Serving Money, Serving God by Sheryl Johnson Pdf

Justice commitments can and must be integrated into all of a church's financial practices, including fundraising, budgeting, managing property and personnel, investing, and participating in community partnerships. So argues Sheryl Johnson in Serving Money, Serving God: Aligning Radical Justice, Christian Practice, and Church Life. This is the first Christian stewardship and finance book written from an explicitly anti-racist, decolonial, feminist, ecological, and class-critical standpoint. Many churches espouse these commitments--as individual members, as congregations, and through their denominations--but pursue them as discrete initiatives, such as themes for study and worship, rather than as core organizing principles for congregational life. Alignment between Christian beliefs and commitments and church practice is both ethically and practically necessary, however. A 2009 Pew Research Center study that found that about half of those who had become unaffiliated from religion had done so because they found religious people "hypocritical, judgmental, or insincere." Alignment between beliefs and church practice therefore matters deeply both for those who are active in churches and for those who are not--but who might be if faith and action are consistent. This book offers a positive and constructive approach to the topic and is filled with inspiring examples for churches of all sizes. Case studies provide practical guidance and make the analysis concrete, relatable, and accessible. The book highlights the importance of creativity, imagination, and a sense of hope-filled adventure in engaging this work.

Seven Hard Routes to Serving God by Mlungisi Biyela Pdf

The book teaches that God is always good and our human nature is always rebellious, blaming God for everything. The author, a cancer survivor, explains values and qualities he learnt while contending with and recovering from leukemia. When God provided remission, he learnt the seven routes to master in order to receive complete healing and inner peace, which are freely given through Jesus, but need a Christian¿s conscious participation. So, as they say: ¿Something has got to give.¿ These principles are: ¿ Love for the truth. ¿ Defeating the devil¿s temptation. ¿ Taking on an incremental blessing. ¿ Humility. ¿ Walking in faith and by faith. ¿ Loving your inner circle enemies; and ¿ Leaving vengeance only to God.

Serving God in a Migrant Crisis by Patrick Johnstone Pdf

"God has used migration for millennia to achieve his purposes for his people," writes Patrick Johnstone. "He is doing so again in our time." Millions are on the move, driven by war, drought, terrorism, poverty, failed states, environmental catastrophes, disease, revolutions, and the desire for a better life. Christians have a unique perspective on the migrant crisis: after all, Jesus was a refugee. So were Abraham, Joseph, and Moses. Today, some turn their backs on refugees. In Serving God in a Migrant Crisis, Patrick Johnstone and Dean Merrill help us understand what's causing today's refugee crisis, explore Christian theology and tradition on migration, and show us how Christian workers around the globe are opening their hearts to embrace these modern outcasts. "The world has literally come to our doorstep," they write. "Will we open the door?"

Serving God, Saving the Planet Guidebook by J. Matthew Sleeth, M.D. Pdf

Serving God, Saving the Planet is a study that will broaden the conversation with a focus on the dangers of materialism, workaholism, and spiritual bankruptcy—as well as God’s endless invitations for us to enjoy what he has created. This twelve-session study provides simple, everyday ways to focus on stewardship and sustainability according to Scripture. In the first six sessions, Dr. Matthew Sleeth explores his personal salvation experience and desire to follow Jesus in the context of the love story God tells in Genesis. Dr. Sleeth guides readers through each of the created elements, reminding them of the God-given commission to “tend and protect the planet.” In the final six sessions, Dr. Sleeth examines how God's original command to “tend and protect the planet” extends into the actions and activities of every Christian’s everyday lives. Designed for use with the video.
