The Rev. Jeb Magruder met Wilson 10 years ago when he was a pastor of a church in Columbus, Ohio. Magruder, a former aide to President Richard M. Nixon who spent time in a federal prison for his part in Watergate, became a minister after a life of politics. After 16 years as a pastor, he went to work at RSI because he wanted to ease the burden of fellow ministers. We're able to go in and help a church without taking all the demands of the ministry on our shoulders. It makes it fun.
People get excited about their faith again.
If they didn't treat it like a ministry, we wouldn't be working with them. He soon found that the consultant business is a growing one. And with a more transient society, some churches are asking families to invest in a project that they may never be around to see completed. People have the opportunity to invest in kingdom work, even though they may never see the benefit personally. Churches hire us because we know what's going on in churches.
