WOAH!!

This is one of those "WOAH" post that I read. It's related to the post mentioned before this one.

Your passion for your youth ministry is really encouraging. While i wish to leave my one.five cent worth of encouragements.

1) Let your focus for your youth ministry be on Evangelism, not on the youth ministry itself. (1 Tim 2:4 who God desires everyone to be saved, and come to a knowledge of the truth). The youth ministry ought and first, be a mission minded organism because being a youth and mostly students, no other bigger opportunities will be given to you and the youth to tell those around you and the youth about Jesus!

2) Dream. It is a great thing to dream big for God, for the size of the dream determines first, your faith in God, and second, your thirst not to live your life wasted. Read John Piper's Don't waste your life.

3) Leave a legacy, not just memories of another good worship leader. Invest your life in raising people or youths that will carry that fire of passion after you've gone. Like Barnabas to Paul and Paul to Timothy and Mark.

4) Be a defender of your faith. Titus 1:9 says He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. Your shield is your faith and your sword is the Word of God, learn to weld these two well with your full armour of God, because like it or not, you are in a fight of your life, and in order to move forward, the leaders must do it on their knees in prayer.
