Summary

As a person with an active role in ministry for Christ, readers are called to be passionate. At times, however, the flame within flickers and goes weak. It is no coincidence that this experience is referred to as ministry burnout. It is impossible to minister to others without reclaiming the passion.

In Renewing Your Ministry: Walking with Jesus in All That You Do, Joe Paprocki helps readers add fuel to the fire of their faith as they seek out ways to rejuvenate their call to ministry. With the disciples from Emmaus, return to the "Jerusalem" of your own ministry accompanied by the Risen Christ and with more passion than ever to share his good news.
