Some have a heart for the ministry

but are not “called.”

Some are called but do not have the

heart.

It’s ok to have a heart for the

ministry and not be called. It’s not
ok to be called and not have the
heart.

Passion for an issue can be mis-

leading.

true motivations?

You must know the Lord is directing

you into this type of Ministry.

Scriptures tell us to “count the cost” in

following Christ’s will.

The “business” of Ministry is important.

Personal time and energy.

Priorities: God, family, church and then

ministry.
