Oktober is de maand van de dienstverlening. Het benadrukt en viert het feit dat alle gelovigen, het volk van God (laos), door hun doop een plaats hebben in dienstbaarheid binnen en buiten de kerk, en deel uitmaken van de algemene dienstverlening van de kerk.
The general ministry of the church
The Methodist church affirms its belief in the “priesthood of all believers.” In the church, every believer has the same relationship to God, insofar as they each exercise a different function. Therefore, ministry is the stewardship of the whole church.
The faithful church is the ministering church where every Christian participates in the work of ministry.
It cannot be denied that ministry is a gift of the Holy Spirit to the church and it is the responsibility of the people of God to testify to the world of the saving power of God in Jesus Christ.
Ministry then becomes possible when the body of Christ is endowed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and when individuals are equipped, receive, and respond positively to the call to ministry. This means that all Christians are ministries in their own right and forms of ministry are exercised.
It should be emphasized that ministry month in the MCCA is not only a focus on the orders of ministry, but also on the forms of ministry within the Christian community.
Areas of ministry can be found both inside and outside the church. Within the church, some of the areas of ministry include: mentoring, decorating the church, music and choir, secretarial assistance, Sunday school teaching, property management, visiting, caring for others, etc.
How will you serve? John Maxwell, an American pastor, coach, speaker, and author with a focus on leadership, reminds us:
“God can help us be the best we can be … you are special, and you have a mission in your life which no one else can accomplish… each person is gifted and specially created for a cause and we should utilize our giftedness and uniqueness and unleash the potential which God gave us. (From A Minute with Maxwell John Maxwell).
