About the Book
Entrepreneurial Ministry is a partnership of visible testimony that the traditional church can continually be a vital and vibrant avenue for effective ministry without compromise or loss of heritage and sacredness. It is outreach ministry at its best. By leveraging their entrepreneurial gifts, these ministerial Christ-followers are compelled to provide community outreach in their vocation or occupation. Many of these ministers are teachers, artist, medical doctors, consultants, counselors, architects, salesman, etc., who work in their vocation or profession, which is guided by their spiritual gifts of purpose. These spiritual gifts unleash qualities that call for focused prayer, which develops a kingdom culture that nurtures kingdom families in their human and spiritual needs. In this type of ministry, the world is your territorial boundary. In order to become what you are purposed to be, you must go beyond your normal boundaries to do what you never before dreamed of doing to obtain your destiny. Since it is all about kingdom building, entrepreneurial ministry is an unwavering partnership in God’s agenda, and its initiatives are destined to reach the masses wherever they are in their hierarchy of social, emotional, economic, and spiritual need.
