"If you are a church leader, I hope you have embraced your duty to equip people for ministry. It is, after all, one of your main duties--if not the single most important task for leaders in today's church.

If you're a lay person, I hope you'll find a place where you can use your gift in the work of the ministry. Maybe you'll be used by the Lord to start an epidemic of lay ministry in your congregation." We are pleased this month to provide a link to an article http://www.gty.org/ where "everyone is expected and encouraged to be involved in active ministry." Congregational invovement is vital to a building program.
