Rev. Buddy Bell, president and founder of the Ministry of Helps International, Inc., in Tulsa, Oklahoma, originally began serving in the ministry of helps in his local church by doing with excellence all his hand could find to do. Sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, Rev. Bell began developing highly effective methods of ushering, conspicuous only in their reflection of God's character and love. Ushers following his example or trained by him functioned supernaturally. As they maintained the order necessary to allow the power of the Holy Spirit to flow forth to minister, they spread God's love. People's needs were met not only in the services, but elsewhere in the church building, even in the parking lot. Consequently, churches began requesting Rev. Bell's usher and general ministry of helps training. Rev. Bell began holding workshops, speaking at conferences, serving as a consultant to churches, filming videos and writing manuals and books to meet the need. His training, coupled with his hilarious presentation, have been in great demand. He has now traveled to more than 2,000 churches, teaching and helping church staffs and congregations awake to the power and plan of the Holy Spirit for accomplishing the work of the ministry through every believer. Rev. Bell has authored the Ministry of Helps Handbook revealing how to be totally effective serving in the ministry of helps. He has also produced "The complete Local Church Usher Training System," "Development of Local Church Leadership Notebook," and 20 videos utilized by more than 15,000 churches worldwide. Rev. Bell's humor, zeal and anointing from God to present ministry of helps training motivates people in a most delightful manner to find their place and fulfill their ministry in the local church.
