The Call
If you are beginning to consider the call to gospel ministry it can be tricky to know where to start. Trevor Archer and Paul Mallard draw on a wealth of ministry experience to give wise, biblical and practical advice to those considering full-time ministry.
They offer twelve ‘markers’ to look for in a person called to ministry, and then suggest the next steps you could take on your journey towards full-time gospel ministry.
They affirm that there is no one-size-fits-all route into ministry and that God works uniquely in each person, while encouraging thoughtful and prayerful consideration of the diverse routes into ministry that are available.
This is a key tool for those considering full-time Christian ministry or those involved in those helping others discern ‘the call’.
