Transformation

"Youth ministry is not about getting things accomplished - only the act of God can bring about the transformation we seek. Youth ministry is about participating deeply in young people's lives as we await together in suffering and joy for the coming of God." Andrew Root

 These two men are gifted ministers who love to teach God's word. They love God and love God's people. God has blessed them with extraordinary gifts... beyond teaching God's word to the youth on Sundays, they work full-time. I am so grateful we have strong men who set godly examples in our church and in the community. One is a gifted writer and the other is a talented artist. Can you guess which is which?

They graciously allowed me to take a picture after our meeting last Saturday. Just a few minutes before, there was a group of teachers planning and praying how we may best follow God and serve  young people in our church.
