Please wait...

I recently got an email from a singing group thanking me for my ministry of “HELPS”. The group went on to describe how my last article caused them to realize that after years of recording with the same company, they were no further ahead than when they started. When they asked for a line item budget they were told, “We don’t do that, we only have packages.”

The email closed with the group saying, “Thank you Mr. Bruno, your ministry of “Helps” opened our eyes to the truth. After all these years this company was still only interested in our money, and offered no real help in forwarding our ministry. We were just one of many groups going nowhere. God Bless You.”

Needless to say, this email was a blessing to me, but it also got me thinking…What exactly is the Ministry of Helps?

The Ministry of Helps is scriptural. It is specifically mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:28 “And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.”

The Greek definition for the word “Helps” used in this verse is, “rendering practical aid and support.

This is a viable and important ministry in the church world today.

I never thought of what I do as the Ministry of Helps, but I see now why this group was thanking me…for “rendering practical aid and support” to their Ministry.

I guess when it’s all said and done, the songwriter was right when he wrote,

“If I can help somebody as I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a word or song,
If I can show somebody he’s traveling wrong, then my living shall not be in vain.”

Every time I get a letter like the one above, I get inspired to keep going. Every time I can help a group see the truth about where they are, and where they could be, I get blessed. Every time a group gets delivered from the greedy clutches of one of these companies, it is a victory for Southern Gospel Music.

My friends I’m here to help. It doesn’t matter if you just started last week or if you’ve been at this for 40 years. Whatever your need is… I will help you meet that need…just call on me, I’m only an email away.

Before I end I want to express my gratitude for being selected “Producer of the Year”. It is not something I take lightly and I am thankful to The Lord for whatever talent I possess and I give Him all the glory.

As always, I welcome your comments,

God Bless You.
