Is College Always The Next Step?

[1Tim412]

My name is David, I'm 20 years old, and I want to share with you a ministry that changed my life this year! I did ministry in San Diego and traveled across the Country through a ministry at the Rock Church called TWELVE. We reached over 100,000 students and allowed God to work on us for 9 months.

I wanted to post this up to see if anyone's interested in going as well as ask the question, why don't parents and churches think college is always the next step a lot of times? Why not give a year to go and serve the Lord?

Check it out below:

Dear Friend,

We are looking for individuals, 18-25ish years old, who are willing to commit to a 9-month discipleship experience based out of the Rock Church in San Diego, California. Throughout the 9-month experience, you will discover who God created you to be, you will be discipled for Christ-likeness, and equipped for a life of ministry. Get ready to travel the world and love people through missions, school assemblies, and outreaches. We have 9 open spaces for enrollment, are you in? View our one minute Twelve commercial, and check out twelveexperience (.org)

One more thing, Twelve is not for future pastors or leaders, it’s for Jesus-followers. Are you willing “lay down your net” and follow Him?

Everyone I know who went to one year ministry schools/programs ended up with nowhere to go after it was over. It all sounds great, but statistics show that most people who say "I'm going to (fill in the blank) for awhile, and then go to college" never actually make it to college.

You can serve God and go to college simultaneously. It's not an either/or. If you feel called to do something like this, don't let me stop you. Just keep what I have said in mind.

God bless.

This assumes that college will be a step in your life, no matter in which order.

I may never find myself having gone to college, but you never know.

Currently I'm deciding what to do with my life, and it looks like it's going in the direction of CAD design at a trade school.

After that, I hope to move up in which ever company I work for, and express an extreme interest in learning more about the subject, and becoming more educated about it.

This is my way of serving God. I believe he is the supreme architect/engineer that created everything we see before us, and it's my way of praising him to do what he does on a much smaller scale.
