The whole team freely gives of themselves in order to bring this opportunity to others. Not only do all the speakers and trainers speak and teach for free, but the publishers and consultants that come in to hear book proposals, teach sessions and share their years of experience do so as well.
Lysa Terkeurst said that the Lord has always prompted her that whenever she has a success in an area, she needs to share with others. Lysa and the rest of the team provide the tools for others to improve their ministries, but the Lord is the one who determines the outcome. Out of selfless obedience those at Proverbs give of their time, resources, abilities, experience, passion and love to those of us God is calling to share His message, in places only we can reach.
Proverbs 31 started with a small group of friends writing a newsletter to encourage moms, and has now grown to a ministry with an international outreach. It does this now, on a budget of $50,000 a year. It sounds like a lot for someone trying to start a new ministry, but when looked at in light of the number of staff and the ministry they offer, it is honestly not very much at all. They have six women on staff, so no one is making much of an income. Most of the money goes to the needs of hurting people. Their service is given as an ac
t of worship by them and by their families. Anyone of those women speaking to us this weekend could make $50,000 plus in the business world, but instead they serve Christ out of selfless obedience.Proverb 31 Ministry Team
