Practicing lay ministry is becoming more difficult for the lay minister in these present times. First, the lay minister has the challenge of balancing work, family, and ministry. Also, the lay minister has the challenge of allocating time for prayers and fasting, soulwinning, outreaches, follow-up, and visitation. Thus, time management becomes a major challenge.

Therefore, in this book, I will focus on time management, mastering time, time allocation theory, time exchange market (TIREX), time operating machine, and how to buy time in the midst of your busy schedule. I will also focus on the major activities or practices that make up lay ministry and practical steps you may apply in executing these practices.
