Callings
October 10, 2015
Isaiah 6:8 “And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me!’”
The calling to ministry comes in a variety of ways and through many different means. The majority of people do not hear an audible voice like Isaiah. Most people start by volunteering and fall in love with the work. Others simply see the needs of people and feel the desire to help them. Some individuals feel the tug through the words of a preacher or in a time of prayer. While many, including myself, are spoken to through God’s Word. When I was 18, I read this verse from Judges 2:10, “After that generation died, another generation grew up who did not acknowledge the Lord or remember the mighty things He had done.” I knew then that God wanted me to do my part in bringing up a generation that does know the Lord. I’ve been in ministry ever since, and I look forward to serving many more years here at Frazer! It’s my prayer that each of us would be open to God’s leading. While not all of us are called to be a pastor, we are all called to serve in God’s kingdom.
