Discussing ministry in the workplace – “Whatever your passion is, that’s your vision”

I came across an interesting article on the web about ways a church can serve its members by supporting ministry in the workplace.

I wonder how many people have even realised that ‘their’ own ministry or faith seems to concentrate around one day of the week, rather than all seven? It took me quite awhile to wake up to this – I think it’s been a slow gradual awakening over the past 5 or 6 years for me, perhaps even longer. I cannot consciously recall a moment when I suddenly realised that I was only worshipping and serving God on Sundays, rather than all week long. This doesn’t mean I wasn’t praying or talking to Him on the other days of the week (I was), but rather that I wasn’t actively seeking to do His will on the other days of the week.

How many days a week is your ministry in action? KMT

John 5:17
Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working."

My name is Kathie and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I grew up always knowing that God was with me and formally accepted Christ as my Saviour when I was 14 years old. I have had many experiences where God has been involved at my places of work and amongst my work colleagues.

A few years ago I heard the founder of Australian Christian TV speak - I don't remember a lot of his talk but I do remember one particular phrase that has stuck with me ever since. He said "Whatever your passion is, that's your vision" . It struck a chord with me and I realised that the very things that made me passionate are the same things that I do daily in my business, and through those things I know I touch many lives. I believe I am where our Lord wants me to be.

 

I've recently been reading Faith & Work: Do They Mix? by Os Hillman. Excellent book and it was whilst reading it, I got the idea for this blog - and was pleasantly surprised that this domain was waiting for me to purchase. I will be sharing what I've been learning through reading and research in the hope that it will also provide answers to your searches and prayers. Would love to hear from you. Bless you, KMT
