The Ministry of Helps

If Church Members Don't WORK, Things Won't WORK in God's House

Moses was the most important man on earth in his day. God had called him from a burning bush, sent him against Pharaoh, and used his lifted rod to part the Red Sea. And Moses was about to die, not from an enemy, not from sickness, but because the people he loved refused to help him carry the work God had given him.

That crisis in Exodus is not ancient history. It is happening in churches right now.

Every Pastor is carrying a burden that was never meant to rest on one set of shoulders. Every church has members sitting in the pews who were called, equipped, and anointed for a specific assignment, but who have never been shown what that assignment is or why it matters. The result is exhausted pastors, thin ministry, and a Body of Christ operating at a fraction of its strength.

The Ministry of Helps is Kevin Ashwe's call to every believer who loves their local church enough to do something about it. Drawn straight from Scripture, from Jethro's counsel to Moses, to the seventy elders who shared Israel's burden, to Priscilla and Aquila who laid down their necks for Paul, to the deacons of Acts 6, this book lays out in clear, practical terms what the Bible actually says about helping in the house of God.

Inside, you will discover:

- Why the burden that breaks a pastor is never his problem alone, it is the whole church's problem

- The New Testament pattern of helpers, and the rich Greek words Scripture uses to describe them: the fellow laborer, the fellow soldier, the yoke fellow, the partner, the fellow servant

- What actually happens, both to a church and in the unseen realm, when you help

- The price a church pays when help is withheld

- How to encourage your Pastor, protect your spiritual covering, and build a genuine culture of helps in your local church

- Practical, biblical steps to move from the seat to the field, starting today

This is not a book for pastors about staffing. It is a book for every member who has ever wondered what their role really is, and every leader who wants their congregation to finally understand that nobody is a spectator, nobody is too young, nobody is too old, and nobody is too busy.

Read it with your Bible open. Then get up from your seat and go to work.
