our youth pastor just left for Alberta. I feel a youth pastor is essential to a church body. She helped bring my daughter back to God. She has a boyfriend but she is going to wait til marriage *Xing fingers *toes and everything else that can be crossed! LOL ok focus so explain how the Lord has used you to minister to others. Mine is showing tolerance and love. Not cursing and setting the example ( today i found a wallet and promptly turned it into the clerk at the business) This is a test from SAtan i believe he wanted me to take that wallet. But we all know Satan and his puny lies don't we brothers and sisters. AMEN ok now give us some insight and ministry. It doesn't have to be monstrous to be significant in somebodies life. Sorry ok now your turn.......< >

At this moment, I just finished a week long Vacation Bible School at church, helping our youth ministers with that. I am also teaching primary Sabbath School (1st through 4th graders) which I DEARLY love...Thank You Jesus for that blessed gift.

I was not sure, at first, what my spiritual gift(s) were going to be. Then, WHAM, He hit me with them. lol

In my church there are two youth ministers...a husband and wife team, and it appeared to me when I first joined that they had a LOT on their plate, and little help with those "dishes".

We are blessed, in my church with a lot of young people, from 15 months to 17 year olds. It's our goal to help keep them close to Jesus and coming to church. We work hard to find spiritually interesting things for them to do. As I watched the teenagers help us with the younger ones at VBS last week, my heart near burst with love for them...their heartfelt caring for their younger brothers and sisters in Christ was truly awe-inspiring.

We're having meetings now, we're trying to step outside of the box and find new and exciting community outreach programs that will hopefully draw more people/families/young people to the church.

It's an exciting time to be Adventist. Praise YOU Jesus, for making me a part of this wonderful mission to reach others, especially your children.

Our church is doing a lot of things right, and I'm simply grateful to be a part of that.

hmm... I'm not too sure... there is a STORM co. (service to others really matters) I like doing that... But my lastest ministry thing would have to be the Teen outreach my church is doing I'm on the teen committee and we are doing the majority of the organising for this with the guidence of one of our pastors... But in my day to day life.. I have no idea... just being me I guess.. showing everyone love and not favouring others etc...

Satan constantly tests us. The other day i was in a rental place , playing a video game (snowboarding). I looked down on the console and found a wallet. I knew right away Satan was tempting me to discredit me in front of a guy im ministering too. He is a former alcoholic and i am helping him see that road leads to early death. I don't want any of us to fall. We need to constantly be on the lookout for people in need. I suggest looking around you at church you'll spot them . God Bless . We are shining examples of Christ's love in us AMEN
