so ministry/calling /vocation - what is mine, what is yours? Today I wasn't down on the rota at church for anything, but ended up assisting which was good. I then went down to St Asaph to speak (for three mins) about training for youth workers, then back to church and then home.
I guess everything I did was about my ministry/calling/vocation. I have been assisting in many ways in church for many years and felt for many years that assisting was my ministry. I have been involved in training youth workers since 2001 and feel it is definitely part of my calling and vocation. However now I am an ordinand (part time) which is what I know I have to do now - my calling and vocation and ministry all rolled into one!
The best thing that happened today however is that I arrived at St Asaph, walked into the cathedral and saw three of my former students closely followed by a fourth! All of them doing something at the conference and I didn't know it. It was so fantastic seeing four people who had trained at the Uni on the Christian Youth Work course, standing and presenting with such confidence about their ministry/calling/vocation.
What I long for I guess is that people learn to listen to the call, follow their vocation and practice their ministry! It isn't easy but it is 100% worth it!
