Is Internet Ministry Valuable?

I have been trying to encourage my peers to become wise to this rapidly expanding God's vineyard. It is difficult to bring many great ministers into the 21st communications network of the internet. Learning internet technology is time consuming and at times not the easiest to understand! The only reason I am knowledgeable is the fact that I am a retired communications design specialist and former broadcast art director.

I am called into this "virtual" vineyard, just because I understand the technology easily. I don't have to wait for one of my faithful church members to stop by to teach me. You can trust behind the computer is a "reality" ministry as well. Our work online is outreach from our church organization.

If it had not been for my secular training, I would be just as puzzled as many of my associates. I produce my own web ministry resources, videos, sites, graphics and sound. If a seasoned minister who had the heart to impart doesn't have a "web minister" dedicated to this form of outreach-they ARE LOST! Even Romans 10: 9&10 wouldn't be able to save them!

Internet ministry is valid. I believe it is valid as an outreach "virtual" tool reaching countless globally. The internet is a valuable communications tool which is EXTREMELY powerful and it is unique to other mass media instruments as cable, satellite as well as traditional broadcast mediums.

The internet is a powerful mass communications instrument with an interactive property allowing countless to develop a "one to one" reach into the lives of individuals. You can actually build lasting bonded relationships via this INTERACTIVE medium. Thusly, it is both POWERFUL and DANGEROUS!

The main issue I personally have with internet web ministry is there is no governance on this information highway. Put simply, folks can be self appointed and allowed to do what "reality" ministerial guidelines won't let them accomplish i.e.-"DO" otherwise.

Individuals "do" on the internet what "reality" church, ministry, and denominational guidelines or criteria won't allow them to "do" in real space! There are no qualifying rules-EVERY and ANYONE can MINISTER! You can register for a free navigation portal tool out here in cyberspace and GO FOR IT! This is a lethal weapon to innocent soul's searching for God!

On the other hand, there are countless Women In Ministry servants of God who are bound by traditional, denominational and organizational guidelines. Women ministers in many arenas experience closed doors to ministry opportunities. Women's Ministry has been birthed to new heights on the internet and has raised up numerous online pulpits. If it weren't for these internet instruments they would not be able to express God's call. Nonetheless, without guidelines and accountability, you can and WILL get hurt!

When we go to the doctor or dentist for the first time we look for qualifiers, don't we?! Well, I look around for degrees, diplomas and a state certification seal! I READ THE DOCTOR'S WALL AND DEGREES-EVERY WORD! Oh, yes I do and you do to! I require no more and no less of spiritual advisors than I do of my doctors. I would no more open my heart, mind and soul to unsubstantiated sources than I would open my mouth to a dentist just because they like teeth!

Ministerial qualifications attest by witnessed signatures that ones gifts are affirmed by a ministerial body of at least two or three! God's anointing in a minister's life for others is affirmed by a process. Anointed, prepared and qualified are three different steps in the course of ministerial training.

Look at even Paul's ordination council (first off, he had one!) Acts 13:1-4. Paul was SENT, NOT JUST "WENT!" Many take the "GO" of the Great Commission and the free internet tools and "WENT" themselves into cyberspace web ministry! I have an advisory warning to those seeking the Lord's answers out here! Ask questions of the web minister before sitting down for serious web ministry IN TAKE! Fellowship online is one thing and BELIEVING EVERY PERSON WITH A WORD IS ANOTHER!

Some have "WENT" out here in their vivid imaginations of God's call in their lives. The internet tools are here freely and tech savvy voices open online pulpits every minute! Unfortunately, those of us who are senior to ministerial experience just are too busy to figure out internet technology.

Our church's outreach web portal The Executive Female Ministerial Alliance http://efmaonline.com is our outreach to Women In Ministry. More than offering Women In Ministry current news, as led, we certify web ministers. We recommend to the online community those web ministers which can be regarded as trusted web ministry resources to the body of Christ. Our certified web ministers have our Gospel Fellowship Churches of Christ, Inc. "EFMA" certified buttons on their websites. They are listed on our portal as well for verification. You see you can just "right click" any seal and make yourself important for ministry!

Now we don't eat "meat" without a USDA mark seal of approval do we? Food and Drug Administration stamps all foods, drugs and products to make secure ingestion of products for consumption. Well, Bishop who died and left you in charge? I answer the Lord Jesus Christ and enough affirming paperwork to make wall paper! The Holy Spirit leads me in every area of this work!

The Spirit of the Living God is in charge of this information highway! You can believe it! A minister's web ministry flourishes over and over again because of certifying paperwork on their wall AND THE ANOINTING!

Ministries "called and sent" into "virtual" space from "reality" space are those to be trusted. There is no difference in cyberspace than what is occurring behind your display screen. Should one have successful web ministry it is because they first have successful ministry for the Lord in reality space!

Dress For HIS SUCCESS In You!

Bishop CD Miller Copyright 2002. All Rights Reserved.


"Bishop your clergy robes are very elegant! Where do you get them?!" As I travel in ministry my clergy vestments, robes and garments are always revered! "I search for them, design or have them custom made." I openly reveal my secrets! Early in my preaching ministry I decided to robe myself in His Garments with elegance! It takes a little creativity and extra time but you can too!


Let me share a reflection. I was dashing to run errands when Elder Miller curiously stopped me! "Bishop, do me a favor...will you change your shirt...you don't look so becoming today!" Elder NEVER get's in my business in this manner, so I asked, "Ok, but why? What's wrong with the way I look today?" "Well, YOU ARE THE BISHOP, you can't go out looking like that!" I looked down at myself and wondered what he was referring too??!!!


Elder Miller is a corporate executive and frequents all different types of corporate events, seminars and conferences. FOR YEARS and upon returning from a conference, he would always brings home collared, logo golf type shirts. He NEVER wears them! FOR YEARS, he has put them in my closet for me to wear for chores, errands, going to the gym or track etc. What was different with today's choice of "errand running shirt?!!" The Lord showed HIM SOMETHING and ME TOO!


Harmlessly, I WAS WEARING A MAN'S SHIRT! Elder said for the first time, "Bishop, you are wearing a man's shirt!" "Honey, you've been giving me these for years Elder as 'knock around' shirts...so,what's up today?"


"I am not sure, but it would be better not to wear them any longer" he replied. Lovingly, he went to our local retailer, Lord & Taylor's; he filled my closet with WOMEN'S GOLF SHIRTS in EVERY COLOR IMAGINABLE!


I got the picture! There is nothing wrong with wearing a golf shirt...but WEAR A WOMEN's or LADY's golf shirt! I heard the Lord speak clearly! NO UNISEX clothing! Dress for the KINGDOM AT ALL TIMES-even on your day OFF!





Note the subtle difference in the Women's Clergy Robe! See the shoulders, the tucks, the blouse like arms and cuffs? This a Woman's Clergy Robe For Sure! This robe featured is from Robe.com. Keep Reading For More Tips>>>

Required "Vestment List For The Bishop/Bishop-Elect!"

So it is with clergy attire, vestments and robes! Discover resources for those vendors who make WOMEN'S Clergy Wear and Attire! There is a difference in vestments made for Men and those made for Women.


On a trip to China, I had a Hong Kong tailor make two clergy shirts for me. Actually, they NEVER fit or looked right for my ministerial purposes. Then I asked the sister who alters my suits to try and make a few for me! WHAT A DIFFERENT APPROACH!





There is a difference between a blouse and a shirt! Men wear SHIRTS and women wear BLOUSES! Women's blouses have pleats, an bellowing sleeves, softer materials, pastel patterns and colors as well as DARTS! Take a favorite blouse sewing pattern and customize the neck with standard clergy collar bands! Retool your favorite "church sister" who is a seamstress and challenge her to make a clergy BLOUSE for you! You will win a trusted vendor and she a valued client!





This robe is from Morocco. I had the bottom tapered; added shoulder pads; stole was made with scraps and silver trim added as fringe!


Here is a favorite tip! I will go to the African flee market in Harlem, New York. I pick up a robe that I like. I will make my selection based on fabric, color and a "royal" affect as well as appearance. I will have my seamstress taper the robe, put in shoulder pads and then I will "ORDAINIZE" THE ROBE! I have her take some of the fabric which has been cut and make a STOLE!


Bishop's Tip: Customize, Ordanize and Feminize This Butterick Cassick Pattern! This PATTERN NUMBER #B6844 is hard to find not the pattern itself!








e-bay is great source for the vintage robe patterns:


Butterick Pattern 3194 Choir Robe Pattern Sizes 18-20


Butterick Pattern 3819 CHURCH Choir Priest ROBE Costume


Simplicity Pattern 7187 Shirt standup / priest Collar 38-44

Ministry and Business Tip: Seamstress? Why not start your ministry developing clergy attire for Women IN Ministry! There will always be a client sent of the Lord to you!

The CLERGY STOLE is the cleric symbol of the ORDAIN MINISTRY! "ORDAINIZE" a favorite robe with a stole and you have an elegant clergy vestment as well as robe for the Women Preacher! Accent with a handkerchief of the same scrap and PREACH A WHILE!


The secret is CREATIVITY! Collect fabrics, African robes and materials. Be prepared to "CUSTOMIZE" and "ORDAINIZE" existing patterns and robes to make them feminine and elegant. Approach your clergy attire the same as you would a new suit or dress!


By all means, DON'T WEAR MEN'S CLERGY WEAR...you will end up LOOKING LIKE A MAN IN A MALE DOMINATED ROLE! NO UNISEX Clergy Garments PLEASE! It is the TRANSVESTITISM of Priestly Garments! For a Women In Ministry, the assignment is difficult enough, so approach it like QUEEN ESTHER! You will be dressing for HIS SUCCESS in you!


Reminder: After making a garment, have it dry cleaned and then consecrate it! Bless oil and pray dedicating the garment as well as anoint the vestment! Consecration takes that which is for common purpose and make it holy unto the Lord for His Success IN YOU!


"And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach (Exo. 28:42)."


"And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him (Exo. 28:42)."


"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God (Deut. 22:5)."
