The only freed materials that I am aware of would be what you can find on internet sites. Being an armor bearer is primarily about serving. Specific responsibilities are defined by the pastor/ministry for whom you serve. Note: I removed your personal information from your comment. It's not a good idea to put that kind of info on a public forum. Jeff,

It is important for any ministry volunteer to have balance with marital and family responsibilities. Always be mindful of the needs of your spouse and family because it is easy to get wrapped up in serving and start to put your family second. Also, get a clear understanding of what is expected of you in your roles as armor bearers. This is a role that is defined within the confines of the ministry in which you serve. Every ministry/church is different, so don't assume. It is an honor to serve but balance and family are important. It is also important to guard against those who will try to use your friendship to seek out confidential information about your pastor, board and guests. Stay prayed up and serve with integrity. Ntuthuzelo,

Personally, even with the vauge idea that i have of such an office - we are in need of any help we can get to make the burden light for the visionary couple. Having said that we also do not want to cloud our responsibilities with an imbalance of our marital and family responsibilities... Does the above make sense?!?

The role of a personal assistant is hard to define in general terms. Because it is a "personal" assistant responsibilities are defined by the employer. Your comment doesn't say weather this is a paid or volunteer position. Also, I can't tell from your name if you are male or female (sorry) and you mentioned that the pastor is female. In your eyes, does this make a difference as to who should serve the pastor. In my role as the pastor's personal assistant, I take care of anything related to his personal ministry (outside of the church), his appointments, as well as some things that are church related. I think the first thing you need to do is sit down and talk with the pastor to have your role and expectations defined. I hope this is helpful. Bunmi,
