THE MINISTER’S HANDBOOK

The contents of this handbook are the result of years of experience as a pastor in small and large churches, as a denominational executive, and as a missionary in a land of another language and culture. It is the result, too, of various stages of change and growth.

May this book be a practical manual for pastors that will enable them to have resources to utilize during their ministry to others.
