The New Testament Deacon

THIS IS A USED BOOK

Our heartfelt burden is to help deacons move from a boardroom-and-building-maintenance mentality to a people-serving mentality. Deacons, as the New Testament teaches and as some sixteenth-century reformers discovered, are to be involved in a compassionate ministry of care for the poor and needy. The deacons' ministry, therefore, is one that no Christ-centered, New Testament church can afford to neglect. It's through the deacons' ministry that we make Christ's love a reality for many people. A ground-breaking study of all the biblical texts on the subject, The New Testament Deacon: Minister of Mercy, will help you build a strong ministry in your church. This book and its companion work The New Testament Deacon Study Guide, are widely used materials for training and equipping deacons.
