Book Description

Publication Date: February 13, 2004

A solid investment strategy for pastors. What do pastors and marketplace leaders share in common? More than you'd think! Both groups lead lives of constant pressure, responsibility, and demand. And for both, time is a most rare commodity. But with a wise pastoral investment of your insight and expertise, you can empower business leaders to make a difference in their sphere of influence--and increase your own ministry in the process. Until now, many have overlooked the ministry potential of businesspeople. A perceived chasm between the spiritual and the secular has masked the common goals and visions that pastors and workplace leaders share. CEO and author Kent Humphreys wants to change this. In Lasting Investments, he uses Jesus' model in the gospel of Mark as a guide to offer pastors a time-efficient format to help them: · identify individuals in whom they can invest · extend their ministry beyond the church walls · equip others with basic pastoral skills · build a legacy that will last for generations See for yourself how even a small investment of your time and energy into these like-minded leaders can empower them to become ministers in the marketplace. With this doable, concise plan, you will shepherd these individuals to follow God's call and find yourself mutually blessed as well.
