The Gate Into Youth Ministry At Asbury

Pray
Seek God's guidance if you should be serving in this ministry.
Ask Him for specific direction in which you can passionately be involved.
As you seek the Lord, remember that it is in Him that we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28) and so it must be more about Him than you.
