In this groundbreaking study, Dr. Ashram Ramnarine shows that Pentecostal leadership should not be confined to the four walls of the church but should contribute on a much wider scale. Effective Pentecostal leadership is needed both in the church context and in the secular context.
Either because of financial need or because of a sense of calling, ministers sometimes find themselves working in two very distinct worlds: the church world and the business world. The bi-vocational minister who operates within the context of a non-Christian organization often must navigate through murky waters and make decisions that challenge the spiritual values of their faith. The identity of the Pentecostal leader can be lost, and head-on collisions can take place in the midst of immense pressure with the demands of these respective fields. The wisdom and grace required in the application of Scripture to the daily practical workings in the secular field can pose a great challenge to the Pentecostal leader. The call to effectively manage both portfolios requires a model that can provide guidance and instruction for the bi-vocational minister.
Ashram Ramnarine has lived and worked in the two worlds for a number of years. His experiences compelled him to examine the biblical principles that can aid the Pentecostal leader who chooses to navigate life both in the church world and in the business world.

Ashram Chris Ramnarine (DMin, Pentecostal Theological Seminary) is National Youth Director for the New Testament Church of God in Trinidad and Tobago, Lead Pastor of the House of Mercy/House of Miracles NTCOG in Marabella, and Group Chief Executive Officer with Radisson Hotel Trinidad.
