Ministry Unplugged: Uncommon Calls to Serve (TCP The Columbia Partnership Leadership Series)

Ministry can take place in the most unusual places and in the most unusual ways-and it should. Ministry Unplugged: Uncommon Calls to Serve explores out-of-the-ordinary expressions of the call to ministry, telling stories of passionate people involved in ministry in uncommon ways and places in order to spark congregational imagination about ways to be ministers for Jesus Christ. Read about a hair salon that not only preaches the Gospel but is named "Christ Did It All Hair Salon," clowns that share the Good News, a bistro-style restaurant alternative to the soup kitchen for the homeless in Atlanta, and other inspiring stories. This book will help congregations and individuals to re-think assumptions about what ministry is, who can be in ministry, where it can be done and how it can be done. Questions are included at the end of each chapter for individual or group discussion. A TCP Leadership Series title.
