 Prayer as the First Step in Ministry - Herb Bailey (Church Army USA)




00:00:00:05 - 00:00:16:21

Moment of Intentional Prayer

I think in our liturgy, we have a moment of prayer. There's a point where we can pray include your prayers, whatever they are. If it's a system or organization that you're like, Hey, this is important that that's the one that gets mentioned every week, every Sunday were mentioned in that every Sunday. 00:00:16:21 - 00:00:31:19

Mention the Specific Ministry

We're mentioning the foster care community every Sunday when I mentioned the foster care community. If it's a one off, then perhaps you have rotating families that do a one off instead of. So if you do it every week, but it's not the same family that does it every week. 00:00:32:15 - 00:00:51:22

Prayer to Build Teams and Remember Workers

And so you build into building teams that then carry this on. And so the prayer hits them in the feels because they feel remembered for what they did, right? Like that whenever we approach that, the first thing that I tell a congregation over and over again is pray for the people wherever it is. 00:00:51:22 - 00:01:13:00

Pray Over the Ministry Weekly

You're talking about whatever community it is you're thinking about. Do a ministry over there? OK, yeah. Pray, pray like prayer in the weekly liturgy so late that becomes a thing number one. So that's the that that reorient to my heart toward those people and those people move from being those ancillary people to those people who are a 00:01:13:00 - 00:01:16:06

Zaithwa Gwaza - Testimony - Malawi to the U.S.

Image
"I am from a country called Malawi. It's in southern East Africa. Roughly, it has a population of 18.1 million and approximately 71% of my country lives in extreme poverty. It's a really poor country. (Zai after getting a nice haircut!) Fortunately, I grew up in the upper class of my country- fortunately, by God's grace. I was born to two wonderful parents my dad died, unfortunately, when I was 9 and I've been growing up with my single mother and my younger brother. (His English is really good.) So people have been asking me you've only been in the US since about August… how do you speak such good English?! I grew up in an international school. I was able to learn English and I was able to meet people from various cultures which was really good because you have a very good worldview when you meet people from India, America, the UK, people from Holand. I have friends from various ...

  We Don't Need a New Gospel 03:03:07:11 - 03:03:23:03 We Don't Need a New Gospel We don't need a new gospel, right? We don't need a new gospel. We just need to actually know how to apply it. Like, what are the skills that it takes to actually live out the gospel? Do I have the skills to live that out? 03:03:23:08 - 03:03:48:08 The Gospel Has Been Relevant for 2000 Years That's the question. It's not. It's not is it's not. Is the gospel relevant? I mean, the gospel has been relevant for 2000 years. The question is, do I know how to use the gospel? And so then all of a sudden, what happens is people become rich and then rich because I now understand how to actively benefit from 03:03:50:03 - 03:04:11:02 Benefitting Others When You Know How It Benefits Yourself what benefits me. And if I benefit from what benefits me or is designed to benefit me, then there's an opportunity for it to benefit other people as it was designed to benefit other people. Th...

Herb on Getting Dirt Under Your Nails

  Herb on Getting Dirt Under Your Nails 00:00:00:07 - 00:00:10:10 Nobody Naturally Wants To Get Their Hands Dirty Most people don't like getting their hands dirty. Most people don't want to get dirt on the nails. They like to stand back and see it. I mean, it's just natural. Nobody wants to know and naturally wants to get dirty. 00:00:10:16 - 00:00:30:21 Make An Easy Entry Point Like what my wife did with the ministry was, she came in and she worked in the office upstairs. And so we were serving folks, loving on them, partnering with them. But my wife was working upstairs, and so as she became comfortable with what we were doing, she continually felt challenged by God to be present downstairs and eventually 00:00:30:21 - 00:00:55:20 Let People Get Uncomfortable With Their Un-involvement Everyone that I know who's worked upstairs in the office, in our ministry trickles down to working downstairs and eventually they're like, Oh 00:00:55:20 - 00:01:07:22 Let ...
