Hi Folks been reading through the material reference the concept and practicality of both the lay and ordained pioneer ministry. Just wondered what people thought of these new ventures and what effect they might have on both Evangelists and Readers.
There is, to my mind a real ministry in the context of these new developments, not too sure as to where someone like myself would fit, assuming a call to such a ministry. Certainly I see my role, and calling as both evangelist and reader to fit well with the lay pioneer ministry role, and perhaps the training we are to do in January will guide and inspire us in that direction.
Anyone else with thoughts about this, as MSC and SBG take root and develop through the mission partnerships it will be interesting to see how the current lay ministries integrate with these new ones.
