Learn how to serve the church in mercy ministry, and be encouraged by dramatic evidence of the Spirit’s transforming work. Culled from the author’s own phenomenal story of salvation, this user-friendly guide to diaconal ministry emphasizes the effectiveness of the local church body in compassionate ministry. Includes an insightful FAQ section and helpful appendices.

The Bible tells the story of eternal redemption and how God takes the trauma and brokenness of the redeemed and transforms them into gifts for His use in ministry. Not Just a Soup Kitchen is the story of how God transformed the life of the author from near–death skull fracture, childhood sexual abuse, thoughts of suicide and spiritual bankruptcy to becoming the minister of mercy at an historical church in the heart of Philadelphia. It is also an instructional guide for diaconal ministry and for those who are called to serve in mercy and compassion ministries in their local church.
