Pastoral References

"The concepts of "sacred vs secular" have never resonated well with me.
I also do not agree with believers who choose to separate their lives into neat compartments dividing Sunday vs workdays, my money vs God's money, my time vs God's time, etc.
I firmly believe everything a believer does is sacred when done "as unto the Lord."
I also do not defend that my job as a pastor is somehow "holier" or better than the vocation of any other member of my church. We are all ministers wherever we find ourselves in society.
I can teach a workshop about "God & Work" but nobody better to do that than Roland Heersink because he is a marketplace minister with vast experience in the business world.
He brings not only solid Biblical perspectives but also a wealth of hands on experience.
I recommend this workshop to pastors who want to mobilize their members as effective missionaries to their peers in the workplace."

"Roland has done the Body of Christ a great service by developing the “God and Work” seminar.
I have never before seen a course that helps Christians deal specifically with the challenges they face in their work place.
“God and Work” is informative, practical, stimulating, and presented in a lively manner (no room for boredom).
I fully recommend this seminar."
