Bonus Talk: Walk the Talk #2: Spotlight on Kingdom Work

Strength to Strength welcomed five brothers on an off-Saturday to introduce and discuss ministry opportunities.

The unsung heroes of Jesus’ kingdom are the faithful disciples who serve their Lord without fanfare or applause.

Whether you are a warrior in secret prayer, a widow who casts in the last two mites, or a worker advancing the bleeding edge of the kingdom, you can rest assured that deeds of service do not escape the eye of our benevolent King.

An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

“Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your vocation.”

Aristotle
