After not being pleased with any of the usher training manuals available, author Dr. Victor Davis wrote his own, Ushering With A Mission.
Ushering With A Mission is a easy to read, hands on tools that explains the technical aspects of ushering, putting an emphasis on Bible study, prayer and personal evangelism. It was developed to help ushers become more devout and seek to better fulfill their roles.
"Ushering is not something we do because 'it's our Sunday to usher'," says Davis. "Rather we do it because it is a lifestyle resulting from the overflow of the Spirit-Filled life."
With insight from his African American congregation, Davis uses a non-traditional approach to give church leaders the tools they need to build the usher ministry. He presents a principle of growth that is biblically based, Christ centered and missions-oriented.
"An ushers ministry that is grounded on biblical principles will not only result in individuals that are more mature in their faith," says Davis. "But also more dedicated in their service as ushers."
