Minister Neecy felt distant from God at a time when she needed Him most. No matter how many good deeds she carried out a void remained. Deep down in her heart she knew change was on the horizon. To avoid drowning in a sea of eventual demise she decided to make herself available to Jesus. Staying afloat meant standing still. The Lord was trying to get her attention. It was up to her to pay attention. Minister Neecy got an ear full. For the first time in her life she realized that her everything was not enough. The people's praise had lost it's relevance. Not knowing which way to turn, what to do or who to reach out to, she opted to wait on the Lord. Soon after God spoke. He said, it's time. Time for what Minister Neecy wondered? Before long she knew what her assignment from God was. The Lord called, she answered. The task appeared simple on the surface. However, success would be measured by numbers. How many souls will she lead to Christ was the million dollar question. The Father said, "you don't have to be a preacher, pastor or religious leader to lead souls to Christ." You need only believe in Me. Getting an understanding was key to recognizing her gift, potential and designated ministry. Minister Neecy was about to realize her calling, which was to use virtual technology to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Denise believes, above all else, one must listen for God's voice to hear His call. She also believes that everybody in the world is a minister of some kind. Some minister in darkness, but God's children are ministers of light. Minister Neecy believes the Bible makes it clear that every Christian must be in the business of leading souls to Christ. Becoming a stumbling block is not an option. She encourages you to read Mark: 16-15, if you don't believe her. "Go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15 The message Minister Neecy delivers in her book is; "a ministry limited to ministering on Sunday is no ministry at all." How to Start a Cell Phone Ministry invites readers to stop using cell phones to gossip, virtual technology to cause others to stumble, and words that cut like a knife. She does more than talk about cell phone ministry, she teaches you how to start up your own.
