Take Steps to Improve the 1st Man’s Ministry

Now this may sound a little presumptuous at first, but hold on and see what I am talking about.

When I first started working for Austin Gardner I produced a lot of video and audio files of his teaching. I wanted to take what he taught and mass produce it to where he would be able to influence more people with less effort.

A good friend of mine, Jacob Taube, who is a missionary to China, loved a series of messages that Jefe taught, so he helped him write a book from the messages that were preached. We now have a book on the family we can give out to visiting families. Other churches have even used the book as Sunday school material for their couple’s class. He caused him to improve his teaching ministry.

We have several guys that work with us here at the church and training center that are always trying to come up with more ideas on how to get what Jefe is teaching out to more people. We have started web pages and blogs to where anyone can get messages or outlines that he preached. We also have several of his training classes for missionaries on file that we can send to missionaries who want to learn how to be more effective. For every extra person we reach through these avenues it causes us to improve the pastor’s ministry.

With the Internet it is now easy to expand his ministry internationally with very little cost. Make sure you take advantage of that.

You need to be thinking about how you can make your 1st man more effective. Take steps now to do what you can to see him grow.
