Don’t Waste Your Time

Why I Have Loved Young Adults Ministry
When I became a Christian, I felt a very clear call on my life to do youth ministry. That’s where my heart has always been, and no matter where the Lord takes me, I believe my heart will always beat the loudest for youth ministry. However, this year, I was given the task of […]
