In the last couple of months God has really put something on my heart, youth ministry. I love sharing about who God is, what He is, and where He is with the youth of the today. There is something really quite beautiful when a youth gets it. They understand how much God loves them, cares for their future, and what they do with their everyday life. When a youth gets it, oh man that is awesome.
Recently I was offered the position of Director of Student Ministries at Edge Park United Methodist Church and I am proud to tell you all today that I have accepted that offer, and I am excited about the new opportunity of sharing the love, grace, and mercy that Christ offers to all of his children.
New opportunities mean new challenges. One of the challenges is First Mansfield Students and the fact that I have to leave a church and a youth program that has developed a lot of my ability in youth ministry. Mansfield is a very special place for me, it is the first that i have been a member of without my dad being the pastor, and there is a certain amount of eagerness to the youth I have experienced that is so inspiring to me. To all first mansfield students, you have rocked it and have inspired me to go into youth ministry. You will always have a special place in my heart.
To new opportunities. And to the challenges they bring. In closing here is a verse that is very near to my heart.
He has shown all you people what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
