Time to Get Your Team in the Game?

You can see them any Sunday – crowds of fans, desperately in need of exercise, watching a small group of players desperately in need of a rest. No, I'm not talking about Sunday Night Football; I'm talking about Sunday morning, and every other day of the week, in the vast majority of today's churches.

Though it may be possible to win a football game with a tiny band of highly trained and exceptionally skilled professionals, Ephesians 4:11-12 explains that God's game plan for winning the world to himself involves preparing all of God's people for 'works of service'. On God's team everyone plays, and everyone must be equipped for the game.

So what are the essential skills you and every Christian need to be successful in ministry? Equipping Ministries International has invested over 25 years helping pastors, leaders, missionaries, and ordinary church members from 55 countries answer this question in fully biblical and refreshingly practical ways.

Biblical relationship skills such as being quick-to-listen, speaking truth in-love, renewing your mind, and practicing irresistible evangelism, transform average church members from passive spectators into active and effective ministers. Imagine what God could do if instead of 10% to 20% of your church members trying to do it all – every member was fully equipped and got in the game!

Here's my personal invitation to you: If you long to see more of the overflowing power, joy, and passion every Christian is meant to experience, please give us a call, check us out, and use what we've learned to get equipped and to equip your team. Your best ministry results ever may be just ahead!

God bless you,
