Have you ever considered that the Body of Christ is spread out all over the world, in every imaginable workplace SO THAT MINISTRY can be done there? You are surrounded by people who need to be led to Jesus, so Pastor them!

You don’t need to go to a building that houses the church on Sunday in order to be a pastor, you just need to love people above yourself and lead them to Jesus through caring for their needs.

The very term "LAY" minister implies that there are two tiers in ministry. This word derives negative feelings in me about a two tiered system of importance in the kingdom.
