Alan Au on Not Freaking out Because Ministry is Hard, Why You Need People to Grill You & Trusting God More Not Less Under Financial Pressure.

Are you a little scared of how difficult Christian ministry may be? Are you wondering if it might be too hard for you? Are you wondering if you have the right motives to quit your current job to go to Bible College or start a ministry apprenticeship? Alan Au shares his journey of becoming a church planter in the North Shore of Sydney. Alan reveals why we shouldn’t freak out about the difficulties of vocational ministry. He speaks about why you need people to ask you tough questions, and how to grow a more servant heart for the lost. He also encourages us to think about why we should “trust God more not less” under the financial pressures of going into gospel ministry. Alan Au is a pastor and planter of Captivate Presbyterian Church, North Ryde.
