I am a freshmen at UConn and want to go into Christian ministry. As a big state school it doesn’t offer classes for that kind of thing. What do I study??? Are there classes that will be better to take here?
What sense do you have for the part of God’s ministry that He is calling you to?
Helping the poor (this is a wide-ranging topic, so only samples in my answer)?
Social Work, Economics, Psychology, Hydro-Engineering (uncle that drilled wells in Malawi), even Political-Science or Law (but that’s grad school and I think you’re in undergrad – is that right?) could help if you feel drawn to advocacy work.
Any particular ethnic or religious group?
World Religions, or a course focused on a particular ethnic or religious group, possibly a language if a country or linguistic group comes into focus. Sociology or Socio-Cultural Anthropology helps in group analysis and diagnosis. If you feel called into the private sector, study business…
It really depends on your sense of the call so far.
Remember, though, that God does not waste anything. Look at the Apostle Paul – he had all this training, but not the heart. But, once the heart was made right, God used all the other stuff (albeit transformed a bit!) for His glory! EVERY Christian is a minister, so don’t fret it too much.
As you walk down the path, ask God to help you work with Him, and to draw you closer to Him whichever path you take.
I uploaded a video recently about the Ministry and was curious if anyone had ever heard anything about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXVAKd71KMY
the best audio formats for youtube are MP3 and AAC, the best video formats for youtube are H.264,MPEG-2 and MPEG-4
you should use leawo video to flv converter to convert your video to mp4 or flv before you upload video to video sharing websites http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGk0dyuhxLOx4AwkNXNyoA?p=leawo+video+to+flv+converter&fr2=sb-top&fr=yfp-t-701&sao=1Try it and i think you will like it
I love Deadmau5 and ministry of sound but does anybody know any good house DJS, albums and tunes that I can download? I need some new music.
I’ve never heard Deadmau5 before, but I think he’s an electro/techno/trance kind of DJ; I’m into a totally different sound.
But, you could visit his website and see if there are any podcasts available to download (which will be free). A tracklist is usually provided where you can get familiar with the namesother producers and acts, which you could then add/like most of these on facebook, where I’m sure there’ll be links to mixes, events etc.
Personally I’m into deep and jackin house which is played and produced by:
DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter, Masters at Work, Sound Republic, Inland Knights, Fred Everything………….. I could go on forever!!!
I hope this helps and you find the sound you’re looking for.
Frankly, I visited one of the websites and couldn’t make sense of it. (It spent most of the verbiage explaining why they were able to determine the exact day and hour despite the fact that the Bible said nobody knows.)

That is, how did they come up with the May, 2012 date?
May 2011. I don’t know where you got 2012 from. Des 12 2012 is separate AFAIK
And its from a sad old man who desperately wants to be raptures before he dies. Sadly he has convinced a few venerable nutters that its the truth. Despite being against what Jesus says.
I am in America and am trying to help a friend with a Christian ministry in Pakistan. Is there any way to get a 5013c non-profit status on a ministry that is out of the US? Or is the best thing to do just to try to get the status for myself on a ministry that I want to start and just transfer the funds to them?
Thanks but I just wanted to know if it is even possible first
Look up i1023.pdf online and go to page 5 "Foreign Organizations in General." The 1023 is the form to apply for tax exempt status in the U.S. and you should read this first before considering anything.
A quote from there says "Contributions by U.S. residents to foreign organizations generally are not deductible. Tax treaties between the U.S. and certain foreign countries provide specific limited exceptions."
Annual returns for foreign organizations that obtains a public charity status should be filed with the IRS. Form 990 or 990 E-Z or 990-PF if a private foundation.
The i1023.pdf is very informative. Please read for more information.
Our ministry is looking for a company or somebody who would like to donate a van to our ministry. The van would be used to pick-up people who are unable to drive to and from church. It also would be used to travel to minister the word at varied drug rehabs, shelters and prisons we are invited to. We take our equipment in the van and everyone who will be preaching that night.
I suggest that you have a fund raiser; post your need on Facebook; have the local radio station interview you. Sometimes people just need to know what the need is and will donate. Hope this helps.
Ministries are government departments, but not every government department is a ministry. Ministries are departments that are headed by a minister in the Government.
I am female and have been thinking about attending Bible college and getting a degree in either theology or youth ministry instead of attending a public university for something else. The only thing that is holding me back from following this calling is that I’m afraid that there will not be quite a wide variety of jobs I can find within the church, one reason being that I’m a girl and some churches don’t allow these positions to be filled by women. What kind of job opportunities can I expect working in a church if I go in this direction?
You may want to switch to the Methodist, Presbyterian or Episcopal denominations since they treat women equally when it comes to holding a position in the church including Pastor.
Unfortunately some denominations that you will find will prefer a man for positions like a youth minister or even a minister of music. And these ones will not even allow a woman to become a Pastor. This is true in the Baptist and Lutheran denominations.
I am looking for the sheet music to the song psalm 27 by shekinah glory ministries, ive tried many websites, does anyone know anywhere i can find it?
I couldn’t find it anywhere on the net. You might have to visit a local music store and see if they can order it for you.
I want to help! I feel lead to look for Christian minstries that reach People in Afganistan exspecially girls and women? Does anyone know any ministries or any information to help me get connected?
Thanks so much and God Bless,
