Have you ever been embarrassed by one of those official forms when you find that you cannot fit all the information into the space provided? My first as a professional civil and structural design engineer, my second as a Church Army officer in the Anglican Church, and my third as an ordained Anglican Clergyman in Toronto Diocese Canada. I have this problem whenever I'm asked about my education since school. God has blessed me over the years with the opportunity to develop three quite different professions.
My engineering has taught me precision and order, my church work compassion and the Christian ethic. My secular work has helped me understand people and their various philosophies. My Christian vocation has urged me to reach out and offer them the best in life. This has given me some unique opportunities, like Paul and his tent making, to apply principles from the one into the other.
This book has been written from that perspective. My plea is that they shift out of passive neutralism into positive activism for their Master. I believe that most people are ready to slide over and take into the driving seat new partners in ministry. I pray for the revival of the ministry of the evangelist in the local setting so that our churches of all denominations will grow to the glory of God and that the name of Jesus will be exalted in our midst. My prayer is that God will use it to help ordinary Christian folk see the full potential of their ministry. My desire is that they become active in working, giving and speaking for their Saviour.
