definition of "ministry"

Geoff and I were recently told by a local Filipino pastor:

The life of a missionary is a life of duty, not adventure; a life of sacrifice, not choice; a life of service, not profit. That is why we call our job "ministry."

Umm...wow. Okay.

I would love to hear what those of you out there think about this statement. Is this what ministry means to you?
