What Excites You About Ministry?

“More than anything, I love having the opportunity to proclaim the good news that God came into the world to save sinners! We have been given the greatest news ever, and having the opportunity to tell people that God loves them, teach people how to follow Him, and invest my time in serving the church is an incredible opportunity. I count it as a blessing to have the role I do. “Making disciples” (followers of Jesus) is the command that Jesus gave to every Christian, but having the opportunity to invest my life into that mission single-mindedly is such an incredible opportunity, and it excites me every day!”
