Living For the Benefit of Others

Ephesians 4:11–12 says, “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”At our Bible school, Summit International School of Ministry, everyday believers are ministers. We define ministry as simply living for the benefit of others. If Christ lives in you, you are in ministry. You don't need a title to do ministry. You don't have to be perfect or have it all together. You just need Jesus and a reliance on His Holy Spirit. God will back people who open their mouths and are willing to be a witness for Him. Trust that God will lead you to the souls needing His good news and minister to them through you. It's time to pray.
