The pastor who mobilises.

My doctoral dissertation was entitled:  Characteristics of church leadership that mobilizes lay people: A case study of ECWA churches in Nigeria (Columbia International University, Sept 2004).  I have posted a summary of the dissertation presented at a lecture series at the ECWA Theological Seminary, Jos, Nigeria.  This can be found at http://www.ecwaevangel.org/documents/pastormobilises.pdf

First posting

“Ask the Lord of the Harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field” (Luke 10:2).

My life focus is to see God’s people mobilised and equipped for works of service.  By ‘mobilising ministers’ I don’t mean exclusively clerical ministers, but the diakonos (servant) variety.  God intends all believers to become ministers. 

Before launching this blog I googled ‘mobilising ministers’ and was aghast to find the term used to refer to a US politician seeking to mobilise clergy to advocate for his political interests.  This is NOT what I have in mind.  I would have liked to have used the equip in the domain name, as it is more my strength, but others have got in ahead of me.  Mobilising and equipping have to go together, but more on that at another time.
