- Why I am a Youth Minister
- Aside from the inarguable "God has called me to it" thing, I think the world desperately needs to be set ablaze and to undergo a shift in vision -- and in a special way, among the youth, whose vision is still being formed. I see youth ministry as an opportunity to draw others out of the comfort of mediocrity, and give them an experience of the abundant life that Christ offers. In essence, I guess you could say that this is my contribution to changing the world -- by establishing God's Kingdom in the kingdom before me.
