Is God Calling You?

It's been a while since I've written a blog. I tell Chris all the time how I am not really a writer. But once in a while it's good to hear that the youth director is not missing in action, but alive and well (actually I still have that cough). I have been reminded lately about how God called me to serve the youth. I grew up in this church, and I loved my own youth group. I served as a student leader and when our youth leader, Steven Kaji, left for the mission field, he entrusted the ministry to me and Rylan. We were still young (I had just graduated from Roosevelt High School) and didn't have much experience. God then gave me this verse, II Timothy 2:2 - "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others." So, that's what I've been doing. What I had learned as a student leader I passed on to the youth and as the youth grew up & matured in Christ, I've been blessed to see them teach it to other youth. And some of those youth have grown up to now teach you. This year we have great opportunities to hear from God with the HIM Conference Retreat in March, Mount Hermon in June, and a missions camp called Wayumi in July. So maybe God is calling you, just as He called me to serve you many years ago.
