Prayer & Fasting Journey

The Calling

"The CALLING"

I am a minister.

I minister to the largest mission field in the world.

I minister to children.

My calling is sure. My challenge is big. My vision is clear.
My desire is strong. My influence is eternal. My impact is critical.
My values are solid. My faith is tough. My mission is urgent.
My purpose is unmistakable. My direction is forward. My heart is genuine.
My strength is supernatural. My reward is promised.
And my God is real.

In a world of cynicism, I offer hope.
In a world of confusion, I offer truth.
In a world of immorality, I offer values.

In a world of neglect, I offer attention. In a world of abuse, I offer safety. In a world of ridicule, I offer affirmation.

In a world of division, I offer reconciliation. In a world of bitterness, I offer forgiveness.

In a world of sin, I offer salvation. In a world of hate, I offer God’s love.

I refuse to be dismayed, disengaged, disgruntled, discouraged or distracted.

Neither will I look back, stand back, fall back, go back or sit back.

I do not need applause, flattery, adulation, prestige, stature or veneration.

I do not have time for business as usual, mediocre standards,

small thinking, outdated methods, normal expectations,

average results, ordinary ideas, petty disputes or low vision.

I will not give up, give in, bail out, lie down, turn over, quit or surrender.

I will pray when things look bad.

I will pray when things look good.

I will move forward when others stand still.
I will trust God when obstacles arise.
I will work when the task is overwhelming.
I will get up when I fall down.
My calling is to reach boys and girls for God.

It is too serious to be taken lightly, too urgent to be postponed,

too vital to be ignored, too relevant to be overlooked,
too significant to be trivialized,

too eternal to be fleeting and too passionate to be quenched.

I know my mission. I know my challenge.
I also know my limitations, my weaknesses,

my fears and my problems.
And I know my God.

Let others get the praise.

Let the church get the blessing.

Let God get the glory.
I am a minister. I minister to children.

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving Holiday this week. Tomorrow it is back to school-back to our schedules. Another Holiday Season is here. Christmas is around the corner and then a brand new year!!!

Can't believe we are coming to the end of 2010! The year seems to have flown by!!! Soon we will usher in 2011. WOW!!! I know we've seen growth & seen our Ministry to Kids touch many kids lives with love & compassion to set their hearts on Christ!

This week is the last lesson in our Financial Peace University. What a blessing this series has been to our church family. We've had a great deal of excitement, participation & attendance during this series.

We have the month of December off for our teachers to enjoy family & to regroup for the new year.....this would be the time change the bulletin boards & decorate for the new year...... prepare for January when we begin the all church 21 day Daniel Fast.

The following semester that starts in February....we begin a study of the book of Hebrews. I love the book of Hebrews. The "hall of fame" of many Bible examples of lives changed and redirected toward serving the Lord and leaving a legacy. Easter try outs has begun. Looking forward to another great Easter Production.
