What is Adult Professional Ministries?

What is Adult Professional Ministries?

By Steve Sellers, Vice President of the Americas
10.Dec.2007

Jill Howell from Orlando asks, "What is Adult Professional Ministries?"









Adult Professional Ministries is our faith venture to effectively win, build and send among adults.



Over the years we have successfully ministered to adults in select
pockets. Priority Associates, Here's Life Inner City, Executive
Ministries, Life Builders and others have all seen people meet Jesus,
engage in life-changing discipleship and develop a heart for the world.



As Dave Kanne says "from the city streets to the executive suites"
God has been at work, and every time it's a miracle of grace. All of
our community ...

Barriers to Movements
Happy New Year and Belated Merry Christmas to each of you!

I thought you might be interested in reading Steve Sellers response to the
question about what is the greatest challenge to seeing movements raised up.
His response is very much what David Williams has been talking about what
our objective is in EM.

On this page (the link is below), you'll also notice the archive list on the
right. A previous question that Steve addressed was related to Adult
Professional Ministries. It's the top link. You might appreciate his
perspective about the direction of APM.

Looking to the Lord,
Leslie

I Have Two Jobs
I have been taking a guy through ‘Destined’, and we just started the ‘Destined For Ministry’ book.  I figured it was time he saw someone share the Gospel with someone else.

We had been meeting at the same restaurant for breakfast for weeks, and had gotten to know the waitress, so today we ate at the same table, but later, so that with the breakfast crowd gone she would have time to talk to us.  No luck, different waitress this time.  At first we thought we wouldn’t do it; you know, relational requirements and all that.  But then we thought, no, ...

Reaching Influencers
Reaching influencers, every influencer, is of course not about getting the same number of people to do more things.  Its not about getting anybody to do anything, actually. Its about giving lots of people an opportunity to follow God’s plan for them in the Great Commission.

This is a very multi faceted process as we all know.  However, some simple ideas are still the foundation of what we do.  One of the simple ideas that gets lost is that having multiple outreach tools at our disposal increases the number of ways we can give opportunities, which increases the number of people ...

Pointer in Proverbs, July 2007
“When people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves…” –Pr 29:18
 
 *One day last week on the Tonight Show Jay Leno did a “man on the street” interview with several people where he asked a series of questions about the 4th of July, like, What do we celebrate on July 4th? How many original colonies were there? What country did we gain our independence from?
 
 Nobody had a clue, until at the end of the segment when, after he queried a middle-aged man, his wife and their teenage son – and each one could only giggle ...

Being a Team Builder
What makes a good team builder?  

If you ever visit Ron and Patsy Fraser's home you will see a monument to
the admiration of their children and grandchildren.  Every wall and
every surface in every room has at least one tribute paid to them by
their offspring.  Sitting in this environment one needs no parenting
seminar to know what produced this.  Their children and grandchildren
have a sense of acceptance and purpose, and they know where it came
from.  They have been 'blessed' by their parents and grandparents.
Those of you who know Ron and Patsy know that this is what they do to
everyone.

Jacob was not ...

It's Just a Kidney Stone
In the darkness of the pain, my mind longed for an answer. “What is the purpose of having a kidney stone?” In comparison to many things that could be experienced in life, having a kidney stone sounds so trivial. Many experience greater pain. On its own right, the trauma of a sharp object traveling down the urinary tract is an excruciating experience. Needless to say, I don’t want to go through that again.

During the most intense time of my suffering, both medications and various bodily positions couldn’t comfort my pain. I was left with two options. ...

Trained and not Sharing Faith

Many businessmen have been trained and are equipped to share their faith.
Why are they not sharing their faith? How can you get them to move out of
their comfort zone?

There are many influencers involved in Bible study
groups, but these groups are not multiplying. We know that just to
evangelise are not going to help us reach the whole world with the Gospel we
need to disciple the influencers.

How do we get the influencers to do 2Tim 2:2?

To ...

Something larger than ourselves

 
I was reading recently in Leadership Lessons from West Point that..."Research indicates that the personal meaningfulness of serving and wanting to contribute to something larger than themselvers is a powerful enlistment motivation for many soldiers... [I]ntrinsic caring about a task, the task having personal meaning for the individual, and the individual believing that his or her efforts have a positive and substantial impact on the lives of others and importance beyond the immediate situation all contribute to empowerment and organizational commitment... The Army has an advantage over most private sector organizations because of the nature ...
