God want His church to grow.

Pastors have many roles to fill. Much is expected from them.  Some think of pastors as "super Christians".  Pastors are expected to motivate, coach, and envision this growth.

As a motivator they are expected to give members a reason or incentive to do something, to make members feel enthusiastic, interested, and committed to something, to be the reason for something that the membership  does.

As a  coach, on the other hand, is the person   who instructs in a particular subject, a trainer of sorts, such as one who trains athletics.

The Pastor must envision.  This means to form a mental picture of something, typically something that may occur or be possible in the future.  In this case, growth of the church, growth in maturity of the people. 

We, members, administrators, and pastors alike need to develop a conviction, that is, have a firmly held belief about growth of the church in all aspects and about the Pastors role. If you do not believe in or have conviction about what the leadership is doing, no one else will either. Read more...

First: Where in the world is Asia?
Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent,  located primarily in the Eastern  and northern hemispheres. It covers 9.6% of the Earth’s  total surface area. Asia has  approximately 4 billion people.  60% of the world's population. The 20th century saw  Asia's population nearly quadrupled. 

Second: Who lives there?    
Many Westerners  hold beliefs  that   stereotype  Asians.  They think of  Asians    as  being  a  single group  of  people.  They imagine that all Asians have the same  cultural  background,  behavioural  characteristics,  and  religious  beliefs.  This is far from the truth.    There are many, rather than few , religions practised by this group  commonly  identified as Asians.  Islam, Christianity, Hinduism,  Buddhist exist and and some  thrive in the Asian cultures.  Lumping people together under one label is the type of prejudice causes the Asians to reinforce their prejudgment of us.  These preconceived ideas will spill over to the message you are trying to deliver. If you have not done your homework and you do not know the heritage of the person you are attempting to share the Gospel with ; the results may not be what you anticipated.

I am planing to bring you as our member, with your photo among the featured authors at our website. What you need to do to get there, is quite simple. Just write a few articles, like 4 - 5, and your photo will be there.

Why is that important?

When your photo is among the featured authors, your ministry will be more noticed by more people. Consider this: You don`t need many persons that supports your vision, for it to be a reality. You may only need one person that believes in your vision, to finance it. The point is 1) Your ministry is noticed by this one person. 2) That person have the funds to support your vision.

How can I find this person?
The best known way for marketing through the Internet today, is by writing articles. I see that every day. Where do ex. Dr. John C. Maxwell or other known authors and preachers, get the huge audience from? By writing a lot of articles and books. (e didn`t start with the books I suppose)

Writing articles is proven to be the best way to promote your Christian ministry through the Internet. You may use three to four hours to write a good article, but after you have done one article, many people will read it, for years to come. You can even earn some dollars on the way.

We want to focus on dealing with individuals of a diffent culture from your own, Mainly Asian,  for the month of December. There is a new article titled "Witnessing in Asia ". From experience I can tell you this takes great understanding  of yourself and those who you are dealing with. We hope you benefit from the information.

Asia is where most of the significant future events are going to take place in world events.  Asia holds the majority of the worlds population.

Here is wishing all of you good thought and blessings in the coming holiday season.

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this than to lay down ones`s life for his friends. (John. 15:12-13)

God Bless
