ChosenRebel --Both Who I Am and Who I'm Striving Not to Be
[A Sojourner's Creed]
I belong to Christ.
My time and my life are His.
He directs the moments and the activity of my days.
He is the counselor whose wisdom I follow.
He is the model for how I live, and the audience I seek to please.
He has called me to worship Him.
He has gifted me to serve Him.
I belong to Christ, and I will live for Him today and forever.

I would not have thought of ministry from the same aspect as you did in the article. I think that you make a good point; 'let the 'church' do ministry' and that is warped. My issue with the Willow Creek or Saddleback methodology is that it starts and ends with man. What pleases them? What do they want? What can we do to make the gospel 'better' (make the gospel better? I would not want to be in their shoes)? I seem to remember something I read in a particular book about the gospel (as it is written) being 'the power of God unto salvation' ..... ......... I say, ask first 'What pleases God', do that, and let Him build His church; He is better at it than the best laid plans of men.
