If you have followed this blog back in the GoFM days, you've seen several vision changes of a ministry that impacted some, but never reached its full potential. This post, is not to declare a new direction of vision for GoFM, but to inform my old readers about the new ministry that God has ordained me to lead. Nearly a year ago I was given a chance to start a new youth ministry and accepted the position of Youth Pastor at Seeking God's Glory Church in Warren, Ohio. It took me a while to anchor down to the vision God had for the teens of this area and even a year later we are still building our group up, but the reoccurring theme He placed in my heart was CHANGE.
CHANGE! to revamp, renovate, or remodel this community... NOT physically, but spiritually. And we HAVE seen change. We've seen an atheist give her heart to God and publicly accept Christ, His baptism, and His Spirit. We've seen kids who trust no one pour their hearts out to us, because they know that "there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1 NLT excerpt)." The goal is simple. Show love to those who never see it.
re\\VAMP Student Ministries stands as a beacon of the change that takes place when Christ lives in us and we die to our old sinful nature. "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT)"
From here on out I will be using this blog to post summaries of the lessons we teach each week along with occasional posts of words God puts on my heart to share starting later on this week with last weekend's topic, "The Power of Life and Death." This will allow my students or their parents to catch up if they miss a service or study further on what we've learned and if you aren't currently one of my students you can learn along with them.
