Since 1991
Today’s armorbearers are tomorrow’s leaders.
Nobody ever teaches you how to serve a leader well. Terry Nance has spent forty years doing exactly that, and it started with the first book ever written on the subject.

The gap
Serving is the one job nobody trains you for
You were handed a role, not a manual. You want to stand with your pastor without losing your own calling in the process. You want to be an asset to the house and you are not sure what that looks like.
That gap is where most staff frustration lives. It is also where the church loses good people it never had to lose. The answer is not more loyalty. It is teaching people what serving actually looks like, and what it produces in them when they do it well.
The guide
Pastor Terry has stood where you are standing
Terry Nance served as a senior associate minister for twenty three years. Second chair, not first. He knows what it costs and he knows what it is worth.
In 1991 the Lord gave him the first book ever written on the armorbearer. Four books later, after fifteen years on the bestseller lists, the message has done what he hoped it would do. It gave people language for a calling they were already living.

What leaders have said
Terry Nance's book, God's Armorbearer is an insightful look at a neglected ministry that needs desperately to be rekindled in the kingdom. I believe it is essential for every sincere Christian to read and apply. That is the reason I purchased 5,000 of them for use at our church, The Potter's House. I would simply be afraid to command any troops into battle who had not read it.
For the last two decades, Terry Nance has been the voice of a generation, calling forth a brigade of armorbearers to come alongside church leaders in fervent support, prayer, and spiritual protection. Heaven alone knows how many deliverances, healings, and salvations were made possible because of the valiant efforts of local armorbearers inspired and instructed by Terry's prophetic voice.

Questions
Asked and answered
What is an armorbearer?
In Scripture an armorbearer carried the weapons of his leader and stood with him in battle. In the local church it is the person who stands with the pastor and helps carry the vision of the house. I wrote the first book on it in 1991 because nobody was teaching it, and forty years of ministry has only convinced me it matters more now.
Which book should I start with?
Start with God's Armor Bearer Volumes 1 and 2. It is the bestseller and it is where the whole message begins. If you are working with younger leaders, God's Armor Bearer For The Next Generation is the rewritten edition written for them.
Do you ship outside the United States?
Shipping is calculated at checkout from your address, so you will see the exact cost before you pay. If you need a large quantity for your church, call me at 501-398-9114 and we will work it out.
How do I bring you to my church?
Fill out the booking form with your dates and location and I will get back to you. I travel for the God's Armorbearer Conference, and I also do a two day church consulting visit with staff teams.
What is included in the Inner Circle Mentoring?
It is one on one mentoring with me, month to month, for 100 dollars a month. You can cancel any time from your own account, no phone call required.
What is the difference between the syllabus and the study guide?
The study guide is for you and your own reading of the book. The syllabus is what I teach from in the schools, so it follows my teaching category by category and is built for a group to work through together.
Can our whole staff go through this together?
Yes, and that is what I would recommend. The study guides and school syllabi are built for a team. If you want me in the room with you, look at Church Consulting.
