Personal Ministries

Welcome to Personal Ministries

What exactly is Personal Ministries? There are probably some who have never heard the term, and then others who have heard the term used all of their lives and yet still do not know what it means. Well, simply put, Personal Ministries is sharing with others your personal experiences with Jesus Christ. It's letting others know what the Lord has done for you. It's one-to-one, and sometimes one-to-many, sharing of the Gospel. It is finding ways to individually minister to the needs of others. It's intimate and up-close evangelism; sharing yourself with others in ways that point back to Jesus.

People want proof! They want evidence. They want the tangible. This is especially true when it comes to religion and spirituality. People want to know that you're not just trying to convert them to your way of thinking. People don't just trust what they hear. They want to see it. Sharing your personal experiences is one of the most effective ways of letting others see that what you say is real.

• Tell someone how knowing Christ has changed your life.
• Tell someone how God has delivered you.
• Tell someone how you have been transformed and how your mind has been renewed.
• Tell someone about the peace you have in the midst of life’s storms.
• Tell someone how your sins have been forgiven.
• Tell someone the Good News about Jesus Christ!

The Personal Ministries Coordinator

Most of the heroes of the New Testament church were evangelists. The personal ministry of Jesus in saving the lost (the woman at the well, Zacchaeus, etc.) continues to be the primary model; but Peter, Paul, Barnabas, Philip, Steven, Timothy, and John Mark all figure prominently in early church history because they worked tirelessly and effectively to win new converts to Jesus Christ and to make the first century church grow. That pattern has continued through the centuries to our day.

You are called to that noble heritage as you become involved in coordinating the outreach of your local church. You have two thousand years of success on which to build. You have the model of thousands of successful men and women in history. Welcome to the most important task God ever assigned to church leaders—to find God’s lost children and bring them home to the church and to eternal life.
