I will always have a deep desire and passion for the ministry.
As long as I am serving according to my spiritual gift it will be easy.
Until the pastor gives me a ministry I can't really do anything.
I'm the only one who can do this ministry.
This is MY ministry.
Everyone will be so thankful that I finally took this ministry upon myself.
Real ministries should take place in the church facility on Sunday morning if possible.
This ministry wasn't successful before because no one knew how to do it correctly.
