Jesus-Driven Ministry

Forlagets omtale:
Foundational principles for fruitful ministry, following the model of Jesus and based on the author's own 40 years of experience.
This heartfel and spiritual book uses the Gospel of Mark as its starting point, drawing on the example of Jesus at the start of his ministry.

The worship group aren't talking, a senior elder is having a crisis of faith and there are four sermons to prepare before Sunday. You'd like to focus on pastoral care, but internal politics dominate. You'd like to improve the outreach, but paperwork demands attention. Prayer should be a a priority, but there never seems to be time. How can church leaders handle the demands of real-life ministry?
Ajith Fernando believes that Christian work can be both effective and joyful. With compassion and honesty he identifies the foundational elements for ministry success - relating with the people to whom one ministers, retreating from busyness to prayer, being affirmed and empowered by God, growing in a team and gaining strength from God's Word. And crucially, he exhorts this generation of leaders to be godly role-models for the next - by following the example of Jesus.
The author includes pertinent examples from his family life, pastoral ministry and wider international ministry. Containing much to challenge and assist the busy minister, it will provide the resources to cultivate a long and fruitful Jesus driven ministry.
