Ministries
The Bible imparts the wisdom…
that God, in His profound understanding, established an order or framework within which we operate. He designated apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip the saints and carry out the ministry, with the ultimate goal of building up and maturing the body of Christ. God has a deliberate plan to train and prepare every believer as a minister, positioning them for service. His actions are purposeful, and He wouldn't bestow talents, personality traits, spiritual gifts, and life experiences without intending to use them for His glory. Every individual who comes to Christ and enters the Kingdom of God is endowed with a unique gift tailored for a specific role of service.
God designed us with a sense of individuality and furnished us with abilities that harmonize with one another's differences. As we engage in our distinct talents and spiritual gifts, we discover fulfillment in contributing to the completeness of those around us. This brings us a step closer to fulfilling everything God has entrusted to us. We express gratitude for actively living out the teachings of the Word and not merely listening. Thank you for embracing the call to actively participate rather than being a passive observer in the Lord's work here at Camp Hope AME Church!
