WHAT IS FULL-TIME MINISTRY?
‘Come follow me, ’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’ At once, they left their nets and followed him. Matthew 4:19-20
What do you think of when you hear the phrase, full-time ministry? Maybe you think of a man in a collar or flowing robes, a preacher on TV, or a missionary in the bush of Africa, the frozen tundra of Siberia, or the jungles of the Amazon. Perhaps you think of a campus minister who has helped you get to know Jesus in a personal way. To a degree, these can all be examples of full-time ministry. From here on, when I use the phrase full-time ministry, I am mindful that all ministry–in every sphere of life–is a full-time calling. However, for the sake ofclarity in this book, when I refer to full-time ministry, I am referring to a man or woman whose primary occupation is gospel ministry and all it entails.
Full-time ministry is a job, a vocation, and a career, but, as we will see, it is so much more.
This subject is often misunderstood and usually brings with it a handful of questions:
-Does God want you to go into full-time ministry? (Chapter 2)
-What is the real difference between a Christian who works a secular job and a full-time minister? (Chapter 3)
-Does it please God more if you are a full-time minister? (Chapter 3)
-If I go into ministry, where do I begin? (Chapter 5)
-What will it cost me to follow Jesus into full-time ministry? (Chapter 7)
-How can I be paid for doing Christian ministry? (Chapter 9)
