Sometimes people lose sight of the core of their ministry. They feel overwhelmed by the needs that surround them on a daily basis. Wise and beloved pastor Warren Wiersbe invites ministry leaders to listen in on thirty short "armchair chats" to encourage and strengthen them for service. He shares what he wishes he had known about ministering to others when he began his own Christian pilgrimage. "Ministry," he says, "takes place when divine resources meet human needs through loving channels to the glory of God." With this new edition of a classic book, which includes a foreword by Jim Cymbala, the next generation of ministry leaders can take advantage of Wiersbe's years of wisdom.

INTRODUCTION - This paperback is intended to be used as a devotional, with the individual seeking God by means of prayer afterwards. "Needed: Servants of God" by no means exhausts what can be written on this subject. It simply is intended to stimulate thinking and motivate Christians into being a truly dedicated vessel that God can use in today's world. PREFACE - In the autumn of 1972 the Holy Spirit stirred my heart. I feel He showed me over and over again what God needs in this last generation. The Spirit would speak to my inner being all hours of the day and even waken me from a sound sleep in the night to make me aware of this great need. It is the purpose to this booklet to share this need and to challenge you with examples of men that God could use. (Our proceeds go to charity)
