How To Do The Work Of Ministry Online
It's important to recognise that not all individuals who feel a deep and profound calling to ministry are necessarily meant to work within the traditional confines and established structures of a church setting. For those who aspire to reach a particular and often undeserved group of people through a unique ministerial enterprise, it’s essential to identify these five keys before getting started.
Online Ministry: 5 Things to Identify Before Starting a Ministerial Enterprise
Your Ministry Gift(s): Identify both your spiritual and natural gifts, talents, and abilities that God has equipped you with. Determine which ones God wants you to use as a minister in the marketplace.
Your Online Assignment: As you do the work of ministry online, God will call you to serve a specific ministry niche. To identify this niche, ask yourself: Who has God called you to serve? What industry has God called you to? What problem within that industry has God called you to solve?
Your Ministry Mission: Within your ministry niche, identify who God has called you to disciple and how He has called you to disciple them online.
Your Ministry Message: Determine your target audience for your message. Your ministry message is also your marketing strategy. It's the way God wants you to reach the people you're called to serve online. To clarify your message, ask yourself: What need is your ministry going to meet? What will your ministry offer them that no one else can?
Your Ministry Platform: Decide where God has called you to start ministering and creating content. This could be a blog, podcast, YouTube channel, or online shop.

Align Your Ministry to Your Calling
We all have ideas of where God may be calling us to do ministry, but we can’t do everything. A great place to start is to think, Does this idea fit with God’s purpose for you? Am I willing to make the sacrifices needed to answer this call? What will you need to stop to make time and energy for this?
