My ministry is to serve my father in heaven, to do his will...I have made many mistakes and still do...I have sacrificed many thing in order for my children to have things...I love it and would never change nothing,,I have learned that what I have went through in my life was to help me become who I am today...I am glad I searched out my own salvation with fear and trembling,,I see things in me I need to change and everyday I start a new day,trying to learn new things..I wouldn't change one thing that is going on in my life at all,,I will take all the bad with the good...and still have tons of joy that Jesus freely gives to me...

Family and religious ministry are both very important. The balance occurs when you sincerely and devotedly serve mankind. The service attracts more blessings to your family, then your family service bring greater results to the Cause of God.
Learning, prayer, service will guarantee all the good things for your family and for mankind.

I recently became Pastor of a small internet based website. I spend all of my time on this ministry. I wish I could have more time with my family but I have to work really hard until the site grows. If you have time, could you check out the site. It's mainly for people who can't go to regular church. Please email your comments or thoughts. Would really appreciate your opinion, even if it's negative. Just be nice about any critisism. Thanks!

Family should "ALWAYS" come before ministry, church, service to others. The biggist mistake a minister can make is to put his "service" to the ministry before his family. One can put God first in his life-but---their first duty on this earth is to their family. And you can quote me on this.

personally let actions speak louder than words. my dad always said he would rather see a good sermon than hear one. this is what he practiced all his life. try to follow in his footsteps. people will notice and remember kind acts long after the words of a minister fade from memory in most cases.

I have learned that by putting God first I can have a wonderful marriage. God has truly blessed my home.

The world is our family. It is also our ministry.

luke14:26 "if anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, andhis own life, he cannot be my disciple"
Kinda sums it up really.
