Full-time ministry

Acts18: 2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had
recently come from Italy with his wife, Priscilla...Paul went to see them,3
and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them; and they worked
together for they were tent-makers. 1Cor7:17 Only, let each one live the
life which the Lord has assigned him, and to which God has called him [for
each person is unique and is accountable for his choices and conduct, let
him walk in this way]...

There are many people who feel called to the ministry that will never
receive a paycheck from a church. These people work regular jobs to support
themselves, their families and minister in every opportunity they come across.
Christians have been given a missions field that can be effective for the
kingdom, if they are obedient. Some of the people we work with may never
walk through the doors of your church, and you have been given the honor
and privileged of being able to have church with them as God opens doors
and hearts. For some it seems, they are in it for the income and not the
outcome. As Christians, we are all in FULL-TIME ministry, many times it is
the normal business owner that is paying your salary.
