Summary
As a minister of the gospel, I believe it is important for me to first model what it means to be rooted in Jesus, the Word, and to live in the grace that He gives every day. From a relationship with Jesus, ministry can flow to reach a world that is rapidly changing, but still in need of the gospel of Christ. It is only with the leading of the Holy Spirit and His power that I, can fully become who He has created us to be.
