A Simple Visit. A Sincere Word. A Spiritual Lift.
Encouragement isn't just a kind gesture—it's a biblical ministry.

After decades in pastoral ministry, Marvin McKenzie stepped into a new calling: not to retire from service, but to carry encouragement to the very ones who have carried the burden of ministry for years—pastors, their families, and the churches they faithfully serve.

In Ambassador of Encouragement, Pastor McKenzie opens the door to a unique and deeply needed ministry: traveling from church to church, unannounced and with no expectations, simply to strengthen the hands of God’s servants. Drawing from Scripture, personal testimony, and real experiences from the road, he shows how even the smallest gestures—singing loudly in the pew, a cheerful “Amen,” or a heartfelt handshake—can uplift the weary and breathe fresh joy into local church life.

Inside this book, you'll discover:

• What it means to be an Ambassador of Encouragement
• The biblical foundations for this kind of ministry (1 Thessalonians 5:11, Galatians 6:2, Philippians 4:15–18)
• How pastors and churches are strengthened through spiritual encouragement
• Stories from the road—unscheduled visits that became God-appointed moments
• The balance between staying flexible and being faithful
• How churches can receive, pray for, and partner with this ministry
• A heartfelt vision for carrying encouragement wherever the Lord leads

This is not a book about programs. It’s not about promotions or personalities. It’s about presence. The quiet ministry of showing up and saying, “You’re not alone. Keep going.” Whether it’s encouraging a faithful pastor, supporting his family, or blessing a small congregation with sincere fellowship, this book gives shape and purpose to a humble calling that has powerful impact.

Who should read this book?

• Pastors seeking encouragement or inspiration for their own ministry
• Churches looking to support a faithful, biblical outreach
• Believers who feel called to minister outside the spotlight
• Ministry-minded families looking to partner in prayer and support
• Anyone who wants to see biblical encouragement in action

If your heart is burdened for the local church and you believe that pastors and their families need more than just admiration—they need genuine support—then this book is for you.
