A Ministry Management Toolkit Vision

The tasks ahead are so tremendous. How and where do I start?

How do I empower the church to achieve its vision?

What shall I do to spark active participation in the church?

These are some of the questions that pastors and ministry leaders commonly and frequently ask.

I must confess that I have asked myself the same questions until I discover some possible answers.

My vision of a ministry toolkit began in 1992.

I was then working as a process documentation researcher assigned in Antique, Philippines.

I was part of the team developing tools for productivity, appraisal and planning for farmer-beneficiaries of the agrarian reform program in the Philippines.

As we were working on these tools, using the principles behind these tools for church growth struck my mind.

I was able to apply some of the tools in my church assignments, but I never had the chance to sit down and organise them into a toolkit.

When we migrated to NZ in 2011, I shelved the idea of creating a toolkit that pastors and ministry leaders could use in their ministries.

As I got involved in the ministry of New Zealand baptist churches, the vision of a ministry toolkit kept flashing in my mind through these years.

In the last couple of months, as I was praying and looking forward to pastoring a congregation, I found myself experiencing the Holy Spirit’s strong prompting to write the ministry management toolkit I have been visualising since 1992.

Thus, I started writing the ministry management toolkit titled “Ministry Appreciation and Participation Toolkit” or “MAP Toolkit” for Pastors and Ministry Leaders in April 2017.

I dream that pastors and ministry leaders in New Zealand will be able to benefit from the toolkit I’m creating.

I dream that they will use the MAP Toolkit to enrich the multicultural ministry of the church.

Furthermore, I dreamed of seeing every pastor and ministry leader worldwide using the MAP Toolkit and confidently leading and empowering every believer.
