Darla Smith, lay minister at God's House in Lafayette, IN, recently asked her facebook peers to define ministry success. I felt it'd be good to hear what other PCG folk have to say on the matter, so, with her permission, I am posting her questions here for your discussion:
What defines success in your ministry?
Does how busy you are in your ministry say you are successful?
Does the feedback you gain from people define your success? (ex. people telling you that the sermon or lesson helped them, encouraged them, etc.)
Do the souls that are saved or people who have grown spiritually while sitting under your ministry define whether you are successful in what you do?
Is it quantity or quality?
Or is it "just doing what God has told you to do?"
Do you believe that God calls you to a ministry and then never places it on others to use you in that ministry? Or do we, as ministers, always have to create our own opportunity to minister?
