My friends want me to be the minister of their marriage, so I applied for a certificate of ministry at themonastery.org. However, the signature on the document they sent me isn’t a ‘live’ signature, meaning it was signed by a machine. The wedding will be in Minnesota, and to register as a minister in Minnesota you need a certificate of ministry with a live signature on it. Where can I get such a thing without going to seminary?
Some Baptist churches allow their ministers to sign off on a license if a person can show knowledge of the Bible.~
Where can I get a certificate of ministry with a live signature?
How to do missionary work in Africa, with the problem of costs and ministries to work with.?
I am ordained by Universal Ministries and received a request to work with International Gospel Ministries (IGEM), and would like to assist them in some way. Their mailing is IGEM, P.O. Box 3723, Kitale, Kenya. They sent me an e-mail attacment listing workers and their mission. Any information about them or about missionary work in Africa would be blessedly received.
I have a tiny ministry, and am therefore unable to pay the large air fares to Africa. My current plans are simply to send IGEM some teaching tapes, including some from my radio broadcasts, Bibles, and a small spiritual tract that has many good verses and comments about salvation.
Any and all responses would be blessedly received in the Lovely Name of Jesus,
Rev. Glen Moore
What you plan to do in the form of taped messages etc is a good start! God bless you in your work for Him. Yes, I understand that it is hard to raise funds. Many Christians are also struggling to make ends meet and there are many groups and individuals seeking support in Mission work and ministries.
I raise my own funds by appealing to different churches I know in my denomination, giving talks, presentations, etc Some would give generously. Others whatever they could, which is just as good because they give from their lack. Yet, I’ve had others that flatly said"No". Someone even told me "Everyone is asking for money!" which shocked me some because I know this lady personally and I was asking her to let me speak to her women’s group to raise funds for a short-term Mission trip. But I tell you what works.
Prayer.
You’ve got to seek the Lord, my brother. Put this need before Him and IF it is His will and His perfect timing, you will see people give. Sometimes from the most unexpected sources! Because it is NOT THEM WHO GAVE! It’s the Lord Jesus moving their hands and their pockets!
There was a time some years back when people from my church wanted to go to Central America but I could not raise enough funds so can’t go. but it was not God’s timing! Now, many yrs later, God is opening the door again and I am planning to go to the same place. He has provided the finances too.
You might also speed up the funds by doing extra work. I had to make some sacrifices and save some money myself, besides donations. If you have a family, have them to do a bake sale (your wife can bake the goodies and the kids sell them) . Have a spaghetti dinner receiving a freewill donation for the dinner(at your church or combined with neighboring churches) You and family make the dinner and invite the people from the other churches and everyone your people could think of. Put flyers out etc. Make known to your churhc members why you are doing this and ask if they would support you in this fund raising by inviting people to attend and help with desserts (donate, if possible) and explain that you need the funds for the Mission work and if they agree, then go ahead. if they don’t want to help, then you have to do this on your own. Remember to tell them that whatever profit received would be for the Mission trip and see if they agree. They might help you if the Lord speaks to their hearts. Some folks cannot give from their own pockets but would be willing to help in a fund-raiser like that. I hope this helps.

——————-
“You have had all that money can give you,
but that wasn’t enough.
You became a thrill-seeker.
Kill for the thrill.
(assassin)
This thrill-seeking became the one great thing in
your life, planning one thrill on another until the murder.
Kill for the love of killing.
(guilty)
Kill for the thrill.
The thrill-seeker comes from all walks of life.
He comes from the home,
a home where the parents are to busy to treat
their children with respect.”
Die! Die! Die! Die!
Scum-suckers! Debility divulged!
Anal fuck-fest, thrill Olympics
Savage scourge supply and sanctify
So what? So what?
So what? So what?
Die! Die! Die! Die!
Die! Die! Die! Die!
You said it!
Sedatives supplied become laxatives
My eyes out lies
I only kill to know I’m alive
So what? So what?
So what? So what?
Die! Die! Die! Die!
“Kill for the thrill.
(assassin)
Some people think newspapers
exaggerate juvenile crime.
All that is defined mostly to the
large cities, juvenile delinquency is underlined.
Thus parents think something
is going wrong with the environment.
Adults create the world, children live it.
Juvenile delinquency is always rooted in adult delinquency.
And in this process, parents play the key role
when children grow up among adults who refuse
to recognize anything that is fine and good,
or worthy of respect.”
Die! Die! Die! Die!
So what, it’s your own problem to learn to live with
Destroy us, or make us slaves
We don’t care, it’s not our fault
that we were born too late
A screaming headache on the promised age
Killing time is appropriate
To make a mess and all the rest,
we say, we say
So what? So what?
So what? So what?
Die!
Die!
Now that I know what it’s like,
I’ll kill them all if I like
Only time will decide
No one listened to reason,
it’s too late and I’m ready to fight
So what? Now I’m ready to fight!
I’m ready to fight! [x4]
Fight! [x4]
So What? [x6]

ST. JAMES MINISTRIES COGIC, WELCOMES PASTOR SHERYL BRADY
PLEASE RATE!Jehovah’s Witnesses; Do you feel more encouraged after learning of Ananias courage?
This is week ministry school brought out his courage against Saul when he healed his blindness even though he knew his reputation. I am going to intensified my personal studies so I can be more confident when I get my privilege back of preaching! I Just wanted to share Theo school for this week. The brother in my hall brought the account to life and made me seriously think about courage.
Ananias wasn’t just courageous, he was obedient. He had his own reservations, but he accepted what the Lord said to him and so he had faith and trusted in his instructions. I agree, it took courage, but when you think about it has Jehovah or Jesus ever steered us wrong? So even though, yes, it took boldness for him to go and meet with Paul and it took courage, it also didn’t take so much personal trust as trust in Jehovah.
There are many things we do on a day to day basis that we don’t have the strength or power or courage to do on our own. But by trusting in Jehovah and in his promises to us we can "muster up boldness" and push ourselves to do.
NONE of us would ever go in the preaching work if we were relying on our own power or courage. Believe me, after being inactive for about 12 to 15 years, it was the hardest thing (in my mind) to start to do again once I was determined to start in the ministry again. Just getting out there at all took a great deal of support from other people (which Jehovah provided) and then once I was out there it took certain situations that triggered something in me to make me WANT to actually start to speak to people.
What happened is that I met in the service another inactive sister who had been hurt by things in the congregation (just like me) and her pain and seeing how she WANTED to do something to return, but just didn’t quite have it in her yet, that made me want to speak up and share with her some encouragement. Jehovah I’m sure made sure I found that sister. He knew I wouldn’t be able to keep silent once I found another lost sheep like I had been. Whether we helped her or not I don’t know, she went back to Texas, but it sure helped me in meeting her, it made me more aware of how "skinned and thrown about" people are and it made me want to speak up and give them something better.
I think it is wonderful how Jehovah works. How he puts in front of you just what you need when you need it. I’ve been working in service now for about 5 years after having been inactive for about 12 (and 3 before that while I was disfellowshipped and unable to preach door to door).years. I love the service now and I love that Jehovah is the one who keeps leading me on in the paths of righteousness. Keeps on showing me the next step I must make in my spiritual progress back to him.
Keep on trusting in him Reo, keep on following Jehovah’s lead. He will guide you and help you every step of the way in getting back where you want to be.
Church ministry and back-ground checks…?
If you decided you wanted to get into ministry (through your church) and as you were filling out the volunteer form, you find out that they want to do a back-ground check…what would you do?
I submitted to one when I became a greet / usher. Later, I got into the Jail Ministry and the county wanted to do one.
I have nothing to hide.
I have had to do this when I volunteered to help in the toddlers class. The reason for this was because the church was making sure there were no pedefiles, of which I don’t blame them. Just because one goes to church does not mean they are what they seem to be. I am sure there are
perverts in the churches, just watch the news. I agree with the churches doing this.

Stick with a very basic schedule until people start showing up, and then make the daily plans according to who needs what kind of help.
.

oh please!!! I think the world has enough of different christian sects!
addition: but if you really want to go down into business with it, I suggest you distribute fliers.
Can Iranians rise up and stop Arabian extremist Islam from being forced down their Persian throats?
Iranian Universities in uproars.Students chanting “Death to the Dictator” could be heard from a distance away. In some instance, local residents have came out in support of the students and against the regime forces.
(A video of students’ protest against.
On Tuesday, October 30th, 2007 the security forces arrested about twenty students from the same college, for protesting against the Islamic government actions against students.
All but three of the students arrested were released after signing prearranged repentance expressing remorse and agreeing to forfeit their civil rights if they reoffend.
Three of these students have refused to sign such documents which could turn into their legal death sentences if framed or arrested by the government agents again.
For that reason and other unspoken interests, the Ministry of Intelligence ordered the three students to be transferred to one of their undisclosed locations – presumably for
Logical3—-you are sadly mistaken.
here is my link to debunk yours wake up and smell the revolution….Iranians are Proud Persians NOT Arab extremist Muslims. Zoastrianism is the Majority religion in Iran…next time do your research.

Wow, logical is kind of an idiot huh? In answer to your question, unfortunately, I don’t think so. The modern day Hitler is rapidly succeeding in isolating Iran from the civilized world. I don’t think anyone, anywhere feels that the dictator is sane, they are just powerless to stop him. He has complete and utter power.
It will result in millions of Iranians dieing for his insanity. That seems to me, a foregone conclusion.
