20 Years from now a few of the students in your ministry are going to remember your name and the things you are doing your ministry.

They are going to be telling your jokes, your stories and trying in some ways to replicate what you are doing today.

 I remember my youth pastor as a man who loved to teach the Bible and who loved to help us understand the great things of God.  He memorized Scripture.  He encouraged us to do the same thing ... he accepted students of all kinds and painted a picture of a God who loves.  I was blessed to be under his ministry.  

Today, as you encounter students ... parents and staff, pay the price and do the things in private that prepare you for your ministry in public.   

2o years from now your ministry will still be making an impact.  Pretty cool huh???
