From the Pastor's Desk

Have you ever wondered how people

came to be “called by God” into

some phase of ministry? Let me

share two very different experiences

by great messengers of God. First

there was Jeremiah the prophet

in the Old Testament. The Lord

said to him, “Before I formed

thee in the belly I knew thee; and

before thou camest forth out

of the womb I sanctified thee,

and I ordained thee a prophet

unto the nations” (Jer. 1:5).

Before his birth God planned

his calling and ministry.

However, now consider the

Apostle Paul. He was on

his way to Damascus to continue

his persecution of Christians

when the Lord knocked him

to the ground and spoke to
him. He was informed shortly

afterwards that he would

be a witness to Jews and
Gentiles alike to bear the name

of Christ. Your calling is probably

quite different
from these men, but as a child of

God, you have a place of

ministry and will never
be satisfied until you find

that role.
