Ministry

I want to help! I feel lead to look for Christian minstries that reach People in Afganistan exspecially girls and women? Does anyone know any ministries or any information to help me get connected?

Thanks so much and God Bless,

Greg Mortenson runs a foundation in Pakistan and Afghanistan that builds schools and community centers especially for girls. http://www.ikat.org/

Mortenson’s book Three Cups of Tea http://www.amazon.com/Three-Cups-Tea-Mission-Promote/dp/0143038257 explains how he went from being a mountain climber to building schools and running a foundation.

Since Bishop Paul Baker was in the huge scandal of his wife finding out that his girlfriend had dumped him. And businessmen in the area complaining about the huge sums of money he had borrowed from them and not tried to pay back, despite a lavish lifestyle, it has come to light that that branch of the Christian Evangelisation International Ministries has closed. Just as well surely?
Who would trust a pastor who tries to exploit his parishioners for sex and money?

can nonconformists have Bishops?

hey interesting fact the Christian system is named and modelled on Diocletian’s Imperial central reforms bringing the whole roman system into a single Imperial orbit., it’s also where we get words like Deacon, Deices, Vicar, Bishop etc, yet he persecuted more Christians than any other Roman emperor.

My fiancé and I are getting married in January and may be using a minister from Open Door Ministries. I was wondering if anyone has used them or had an experience with them? Any comments?

I had the same issues with their site. I got married 2 months ago by a friend who was ordained by the internet and ours was recognized. We’re in NJ, Ocean County specifically. I’m ordained and I checked with the state to make sure that I could perform weddings in the state and they said it’s perfectly legal. So my opinion of "Open Doors Ministries" is that I wouldn’t go to a liar. Plus they’ll charge you an arm and a leg. Find someone local.

If the Church of Satan can operate under Corporation sole why not churches.

Probablyh none.

"Corporation sole" is a buzzword for a scam setup.

I’m a leader of my church outreach ministries and I would like for our team to go to the nursing homes and homeless shelters & streets where homeless live and also drug rehab centers, to give them personal items as we minister to them.

Talk to the owners and tell them about what you’re doing. I know that some organizations share the credit with businesses that sponsor them. Maybe you could ask your local newspaper to do a story about your project and mention that you need donations or set up booths at public events.

~I have never heard of a church needing to fill out any forms to accept donations. Maybe in large cities? I must admit though that I answered this question based on my own experiances and not just something I googled.~

I want to work with a ministry that helps young adults but where I can also live abroad or travel the world

Marc P: Apparently you do not understand that mission work these days is usually centered around service to the poor around the world — not focusing on converting like in the old days. Now they are building schools and houses, and yes, even wells for fresh drinking water.

I need to know the number of ministries in the USA governmental system and their names.

Ministries are found in Parlementary government systems. The US has what is called a ‘federal’ system. Under a federal system the president is essentially the CEO for all aspects of the Federal Government. The President has a Cabinet where he has people who run departments (such as the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, etc.) who supervise the operations of all but a very few employees of the federal government.

Although a member of the Cabinet has to be approved by Congress – they are essentially hired by the President and can be fired by the President.

I mean actual fundamental evangelical protestant ministries. Are there a lot? A few? Are they legitimate? Are there a lot of fakes? Why and or why not too dangerous ect? Is it expensive to have real estate there?

Christians can go there to visit but they are not allowed to be residence. Jewish people will not convert in their own homeland. It goes the opposite way.

I want to help people … disaster relief or counsel. I wouldn’t expect money but maybe food and board. Are there any companies, ministries, organizations I can do that with? I am 35 year old office worker and most programs appear to be for young people.

There are organisations who need volunteers to work in Africa and other countries in the third world. I have posted a link here for you.
