Servant Evangelism

It’s very difficult when we are in school to find the time to do what we love as disciples, which is to lead others to Christ. After working a full-time job I come home to do work for my company, Unique Expressions which is a promotional company. I met with a customer about four weeks about to do some flyers for his restaurant, once I completed them. He asked me a few weeks later to do a second flyer for his ministry called “Empowerment” he begin to tell me how he goes around the community and invite them in for a short message in the word, prayer and koinonia . This is not the nicest community but one where most of the lower working class resides.

I’m always honored to do a flyer for ministries that have the goal of reaching those that are lost. I tend to put more time and effort into them than my other projects, because of my love for Jesus Christ. I decided I would start to attend these community sessions on Monday it was only for an hour from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. In the first session I was asked to pray for those that came and I did. This group reminded me of how I was when I came to Christ I wouldn’t let anything stop me from getting feed spiritually. Some of them were teenagers, others singles, some families, it was beautiful to see them desire more of God in their lives; hear the questions and then fellowship with them once the word was given, prayer ended.

The second session I was asked to be the guest speaker and could speak on whatever God laid on my heart. I went to my favorite scripture Matthew 28:18-20, the Great Commission. At this session we had a mixed crowd in attendance but more teenagers than adults. I wished I would have had people inviting me to outreach gatherings were I’d received a bible when I was a teenager. I did remember that as a teenager my church didn’t teach where we could understand even as kids or as a young person in God it went over my head. My goal was to ensure I didn’t make them feel as

    Student Ministry is grateful that the Southeast family, as a community, is choosing to invest in a generation that most have given up on. With God's leading, their church family wants to awaken a generation to the glory of God. There are thousands upon thousands of UN-churched teenagers in Louisville, and one by one they want to introduce them to the Savior of the world. The Block is more than a place to go, it's a place to be, belong, and become. The Block is more than a building, it is a starting place to reveal who God is, connect to Jesus and his family, and be sent out to advance the kingdom with our everyday lives. The Block is the sending place for new generation of Christ followers.…

    St. Louis Mission Trip

    Every year, for the past five years, my church youth group has gone on a mission trip to St. Louis. This mission trip was called The St. Louis Project, sponsored by Global Encounter. The St. Louis Project was a week long trip, during which you would go and have a kids camp at either a church, mobile homes, or a park to teach children about God, then come back to the “home” church, where we slept, to have worship services. The first year we went was my seventh grade year, there was a small group that year, only consisting of about 13 maybe 14 people. That year, Global Encounter had told us of an international trip to El Salvador they were planning 4 years from then. My whole youth group was very excited and couldn’t wait to go.…

    Camp Counselor

    God’s word always needs to be shared with everyone but more especially to the youth. God has always been a huge part of my everyday life. Finding a place where I would be able to share this joy was a priority I had. Camp Skyline was undeniably the place for that. Each night we would sit around a campfire just to hear the songs of the praises to God’s word. Voices as sweet and soft as honey would travel through the mountain air as if a bee on a summer day. Beneath that sound would be the faint crackling of the fire that blazed before us and faintly gave light to each face. On Sundays we had “Skyline Church.” Everyone was to wear pure white on this day. Upon entering church I would see girls of all ages running around in white dresses that were catered to fit each of the hundreds of girls. During those next few hours praises would be lifted and hearts would be led to God as if a lost child in…

    I shared a small, but very real part in my life, because when I was filling out my school application one of the questions asked was about my ministry. The word confused me. I had to really think about it because no one has ever ask me about my ministry before. I had a hard time applying the word to myself and my life. As I began to search within me, I remembered something from the Bible that said, “Ministry starts at home” (1 Timothy 3:4). Therefore I can say that looking after my home and family was my ministry; which this writer believes is the most important. Then in order to be able to minister to another, we must keep our family and our house in order emotionally and…

    Imagine being in a time of adversity, when your spiritual faith is anything but strong. Then, in the midst of your skepticism, you are told that you will be counseling and mentoring kids during your church's summer retreat. As my youth pastor finished asking me to commit to being a counselor at Look Up Lodge this year, all I could do was worry about whether or not I was prepared to lead students through their spiritual advancements, considering that I was in my own rough patch spiritually. After searching and seeking an answer to why this season of doubt had hit me, I realized that I was relying solely on my own strength and maturity to advance my spiritual faith, and now, I was doing the same in regards to leading the students. It hit me that if I continued seeking empowerment from myself to do this, I would fail miserably. God spoke to me and reminded me that worldly power will never be able to lead something heavenly. Consequently, the night before camp, I locked myself…

    PART ONE: My Fit in Ministry (Before): The ministry path I have been pursuing is youth ministry. The reason for youth ministry is I believe that you should start at ground level with kids when teaching kids about God. I feel that kids won’t have as many bad habits as adults and are more willing to learn about God and understand. The other part of ministry that I am involved in is marriage. I haven’t married anyone as of yet but I am licensed to do so. I am still studying the laws and the traditions of marriage. Going back to why I choice youth ministry is that most churches see investing in the next generation as somehow optional or only for big or rich churches, but I tend to disagree because as older generations die there is a need for the youth to fill those spots and the youth have a right to learn about and be able to walk in the light of God. With old the younger generations learning about Jesus and God and their stories the religion will slowly fade and the truths will be losted. A good youth ministry infrastructure begins with compiling basic tools like accurate information about the kids in the church, a list of youth ministry volunteers, a yearly calendar of major events, and a curriculum plan. There so also be a formulate visioning documents that states the mission. I see that the children are the key hole for the key of heaven to fit into for them to see God’s glory for all that it is. My main point is that I know God has a plan for me and I feel the pull to go into youth ministries because I’m out spoken and I am a leader. I can tell the truth when it is needed the most and I can build relationships with young people. I also have been helping people for most of my life like a life coach. For the longest time people have came to me to fix their issues or help them with advice. I have very good insight and can think on my toes. I can’t really tell you too much about youth…

    “Train children in the right way and when old, they will not stray.” These are words which we often here from our parents, grandparents and ministers, and most likely have memorized, since we were young. As youth and teenagers these words probably seemed easy enough for our parents and later for ourselves to fulfill; but the more mature we became, the more we realized what a gigantic task, “to train children in the right way” is. The Lord has entrusted to us; whether we are parents, grandparents, ministers, teachers, etc., a large task. We should feel honored by the trust which we have been given, and therefore need to take the task as it is a matter of life or death. Hence the purpose of this paper is to identify how we as Christian Educators can fulfill this task through Youth ministry and how we can lure the youth in to participating and focusing on what we are trying to teach them. For Youth ministry’s future will be determined largely by the choices and timing of decisions that we make today.…
