In July, we asked you why you initially got involved in ministry. We defined ministry as any type of service (paid or volunteer) you engage in through your church, a parachurch organization, a civic organization, or individually. We also posted the question on our Facebook page, BestMinistryPractices, and on Twitter, @CSBestPractices.

Here are the results:

35% “” Someone asked or influenced me

32.5% “” A direct calling from God (like Moses in Exodus 3)

20% “” I sensed a need to use my particular spiritual gifts and/or talents

10% “” I responded to a specific need (the need was the call)

2.5% “” Other

Unbeknownst to Me

Even when your efforts are unbeknownst to others, the Lord knows. “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them” (Hebrews 6:10). 

Is There a Vision?

People need to experience purpose in their relationship with Christ and effective leaders must set goals that reflect their vision for the church in creating that purpose.
