Principles for developing a harmonious relationship between travelling ministers and pastors including tips from over 55 years of experience in ministry.

Testimonies about the Ministers Manual

“Col Stringers book ‘Mastering Your Ministry” has so many  Golden Nuggets for travelling Ministries as well as Pastors.
I would have loved to have had a book like this when I was starting out as a travelling evangelist and then taking on and pastoring a church 30 years ago.
Col, through experience and having been in both camps, teaches and brings honour to the Five Fold Ministry to respect and appreciate one another in the Body of Christ and to esteem others higher than ourselves, so we can walk in God’s blessing.”

Senior Pastor, Victory Life Centre, Perth.

‘Mastering your Ministry’ by Col Stringer is a one-of-a-kind manual for successful service in God’s Kingdom.
Col delivers decades worth of valuable insight and advice on how to navigate the world of the travelling itinerant minister.
I have known Col for over 30 years and have had the privilege of receiving his  ministry in my Church on many occasions.
Col’s wealth of experience and practical know how comes across in a ‘fair dinkum’ way with no nonsense.
If you are pastoring a church or involved in any kind of itinerant ministry I highly recommend that you read this book which I believe will become a classic go to compendium of wisdom, encouragement and guidance for any aspiring person called to Kingdom activity.
Well done Col!

“It’s not hard to see this much needed church handbook is the product of a seasoned and experienced man of God. I would say it is a ‘MUST HAVE’ for every pastor, minister and itinerate. It should also be that for every church board, ministry team and management committee. Reading this book, you will find it jam-packed with practical, reasonable and useful insights on how to do that well. Page after page, this book is rich in wisdom and powerful in the council it offers. It deals with the heart, uplifts the church and bless anyone who reads it! I encourage you… READ IT!”

Pastor Nico Smit
Rivercity Church Hobart

“As a Senior Pastor leading a local church, and someone who has also ministered beyond those walls from time to time, I can honestly say this manual is a must-have.
Col brings a wealth of experience to the table. He’s been on both sides—pastoring the local church and travelling in ministry—and it shows. What makes this so valuable is not just the knowledge he carries, but the heart behind it. He’s a true spiritual father, passionate about seeing leaders and ministers walk together in unity for the building up of the Body of Christ.
This manual isn’t just theory—it’s filled with timeless spiritual principles alongside down-to-earth, practical applications that make it easy to grasp and put into practice. It’s the kind of resource that should be part of every Bible School curriculum.
Col is a blessing to the wider Body of Christ and to his own local church community. He walks in grace, humility, and honour, living out what he teaches as a genuine father in the faith.
