How to Start a Parachurch Ministry

A ministry is the utilization of God’s gift to serve. A Parachurch ministry is not necessarily a Church but is usually connected to a Church

Tips to help you succeed in your parachurch ministry

✔️ Have a Covering: Make sure you join a local Church and serve well. The local Church is the coordinating system of the Kingdom
