Joan of Arc Mentality in Ministry

Joan of Arc told the General she would lead the way over the wall for 3,000 French knights in battle. The general replied, Not a man will follow you. And, in return, Joan of Arc said, I won't be looking back to see if they're following me.

This Sunday night I will be attending “Church at the Pub” once again. A ministry like this one really didn’t get the popular vote when first announced. The only ones that were really excited were the ones that could hear my heart in person. I had one Christian magazine tell me they would never do a story on it. There were comments made like “aren’t you afraid you will lose your ministerial credentials?” I cannot begin to count how many times I was asked “are you prayed up?” My favorite was “we will be praying with you that the pub gets shut down because of what you are doing there.” It seemed more people were concerned for my well-being and those coming with me than those we were and still are trying to reach. It is not our intention with “Church at the Pub” to shut it down.
