Ministry

Isn’t all your tithe and support supposed to go to your pastor and ministry ?

If so, why do tv and radio ministries solicit financial support from people other another pastor/ministry?

Tithe is an individual conviction to God, it is not between you and a Pastor or Church, it is between you and God.

A person should tithe where they are being fed. this *should be at your church and can be elsewhere or both.

Remember that tithe and giving are two different things as well.
"God loves a *cheerful *Giver".

If one tithes or gives feeling obligated/without proper desire, they are wasting their money, God does not want it.

I know there’s ministries that give away free English Bibles but what about Spanish ones?
I’m going to ask my pastor to start a Spanish speaking congregation.
And I was wondering if there’s a ministry out there that can help get us started by donating a few Spanish Bibles. Do you know of any? Can you send a link?

Does your church have like a food bank, hospital visitation ministry, caring for the sick/homebound, bus to give rides to church?
I’m looking for more ideas to suggest at church. Thanks!

We have a ministry that helps disabled veterans and their families, and those families who have a service member overseas and are struggling here in the states.

During the holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas we have a food collection and send out food baskets to needy families in the community. We also have a bridge ministry for the homeless where they serve a hot meal under a popular bridge that the homeless hang out at especially in the winter months.

And what are they if possible? Because I find various information on this online and I’m not sure which one is correct.

Sorry I can’t give you the exact answer, but it is a fact that Sri Lanka has the highest number of ministries and ministers, deputy ministers that are supposed to look after those ministries on every conceivable subject you can think of.
This is due to the current government’s flawed policy of embracing and "looking after" all defecting MPs from the opposition ranks. Ministries come with tonnes of perks like luxury vehicles at no cost, official residences, back-up vehicles and security personnel, not to mention the state paying all bills- therefore the easiest way to pay back an opposition legislator who has crossed over to the government side is to reward them with a ministry or two.

I need to know the number of ministries in the United Kingdom governmental system and the names of these ministries.

It changes all the time… especially under Labour governments, under which ministries change so much to suit the ego of Cabinet Ministers.

The "Great Offices of State" are the Home Office, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. Other than that, there is the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills, the Department of Education, the Ministry of Defence, the Department of Work and Pensions, the Department of Health, the Department for Communities and Local Government, the Department for Transport, the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Department for International Development, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Northern Ireland Office, the Wales Office and the Scotland Office.

I tried several links online and never found anything that worked.

I’d love to find stuff on Fridays and Thursdays. Any suggestions how I can go about looking for these ministires? I live in Galveston county, Texas.

I am a member of a church in Florida that is a strong advocate for missions and serving, however the vast majority of service opportunities are either in our local city, or in other countries. I am just wondering if anyone out there is a part of/knows about any good Christian ministries that intentionally serve people throughout the US.
I’m most interested in some kind of organization that coordinates trips or outreaches across the whole country. Habitat for Humanity is one example, but I’m interested in discovering more like this.

Stephen Ministers serve by counseling those in need. People going through difficult times without someone to talk to can request help through Stephen Ministries.

From their website:

Stephen Ministries organization and developed the Stephen Series, which now has been implemented in more than 10,000 congregations representing more than 150 Christian denominations. More than 500,000 laypersons have been trained as Stephen Ministers, who in turn have ministered to more than a million care receivers.

Tens of thousands of pastors and lay leaders trained as Stephen Leaders to direct Stephen Ministry in those congregations. And hundreds of thousands of lay Stephen Ministers reaching out with Christ’s love to hurting people. But biggest of all is the number of people whom God has cared for through a Stephen Minister. More than a million–and growing.

Has a staff of about 45 dedicated people–pastors and laity–from a variety of denominational backgrounds

Frankly, I visited one of the websites and couldn’t make sense of it. (It spent most of the verbiage explaining why they were able to determine the exact day and hour despite the fact that the Bible said nobody knows.)

That is, how did they come up with the May, 2012 date?

May 2011. I don’t know where you got 2012 from. Des 12 2012 is separate AFAIK

And its from a sad old man who desperately wants to be raptures before he dies. Sadly he has convinced a few venerable nutters that its the truth. Despite being against what Jesus says.
