    Author

    Don Mance

    Don Mance was born and raised in Albany, New York. He served in the United States Air Force from 1988-1992, in the Netherlands and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan during the end of the Cold War. Shortly after leaving the Air Force in 1992, Don gave his life to Jesus Christ. He has preached in several churches in Upstate New York and has also done a short term mission to the Dominican Republic. A unique set of circumstances immediately following September 11, 2001 thrust him into a role of spiritual leadership at work. It was this experience that compelled him to write God at Work: Sharing Christ on the Job. Don's second book, The Great Exchange, is an overview of the spiritual dynamics that result from a decision to live for Christ. In August 2014, The Great Exchange was translated and published in Dutch as De Grote Uitwisseling. Marching Orders is Don's third book and was released in August 2015. The book explores the parallels between Christian life and military life. Wee Forrest is Don's latest book. It is a loving tribute to his late father. Don's wife, Mandi, is originally from Glasgow, Scotland. They frequently travel there together.

      To Jesus – for Your glory

      God at Work: Sharing Christ on the Job

      By Don Mance

      Acknowledgements

      Thanks to my lovely wife, Mandi, for her kindness, love and support. You grow more beautiful to me each day, and we two become more as one.

      Chapter One

      God at Work

      I believe that God wants to radically redefine the way His church perceives ministry. There is a multitude of believers in Jesus Christ that has not yet realized its awesome potential to affect people and further the Kingdom of God on Earth. These people are cashiers, food service workers, truck drivers and office workers. Yet, they are also pastors, teachers, apostles, prophets and evangelists.

      If you have felt the call of God on your life, but are uncertain as to whether or not it involves full-time ministry in His church, this book is for you. It may be that God has called you to full-time ministry in His church. This is a truly noble calling. I thank God for the men and women who labor for God as missionaries, pastors and leaders in His church. These people do extraordinary work under intense pressure, and deserve our prayers, gratitude and encouragement. I thank God also for the Bible schools and seminaries that train and equip men and women to work as God’s ministers in His church.

      However, that may not be the path He has chosen for you. As you read this book, I pray that God would begin to open your heart and mind to the possibility that your call is to the people you work with every day. It is important for you to know that if this is the case, the work God has for you to do is just as important and necessary as the work He gives to His ministers in His church.

      If you work a typical five-day, forty-hour work week, consider that you spend a third of your life (excluding weekends) with
