Call to Ministry
As followers of Christ we are called to serve others and make disciples of all nations. I have felt the need to live out this calling for many years, but I never thought that I was good enough to mentor or discipline others. When I was finally able to submit to God’s desires, I learned he doesn’t need a perfect heart to use he wants a willing heart. All I want now is to serve others in the example that Jesus set.
