Ministry is when the people who hear you, don't want more of you; they want more of Him because of what you've said. When you point them to God's fire instead of trying to get attention for yourself-that's ministry.

About This Quote

The definition of ministry means the work of God. Ministry is when you are in the position to help others. It may be as simple as praying for someone or as big as providing housing and food for those less fortunate than yourself. It is a very humbling job that requires a great deal of patience and perseverance. The purpose of ministry is not to get attention for yourself but to help those around you.
