Ministry Basics1. What, for you, is the core of the gospel?The core of the gospel is for me, the message of Christ to His people. It is not discriminatory and does not gather its power from any but the Lord Himself. This message is life-giving, it brings hope, and helps us to recognize who we are in Him. We have freedom in Christ yet also have much responsibility. The gospel is for us to train and equip and encourage others not only in the body of Christ, the church, but also in the community as well. The message of Jesus is primarily that of love; it is a love of other and neighbor over against that which is selfish and your own desires, wants, needs. 1)Love God 2) Love others That is what Christ wants us to do. For we must Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all its righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you, etc. By seeking the Lord first, and setting your heart right before Him, all else can flow naturally out of your desire and burning love and passion for Him, your desires will be His desires, showing His love to a world in need and teaching those how to live according to a truth that can set you free.2. What has been your involvement in church over the past several years?Ive been a youth minister of sorts at a small church in Warm Springs, GA and was involved in many various activities that were included but not limited to food pantry ministry, teaching Sunday School and VBS, preparing lessons for Wednesday night youth Bible Study, sitting in and contributing to deacon meetings, doing hospital visitation and pastoral care duties, and being mentored by the pastor overall. It was a fruitful relationship that I very much enjoyed in my short time there. While I was an undergraduate, I was attending a non-denominational church in Macon, Ga, and was very happy that it had a college group that I could attend for Bible studies. I attended it for a while and enjoyed it. However, during this time, there was some difficulty with the leader of the college group and the pastor of the church, not agreeing on things. To cut it short, the leader of group along with several other individuals decided to leave the church and start their own church based on the first church in the book of Acts. These people are intentional about loving, serving, and helping others without expecting any benefits or even anything at all in return. It is an intentional community built on love and service to God and other as well as strengthening each other daily with prayer, bible study, and communication. These people have done a great deal for me and to me truly exhibit the message of Christ.3. What is your current life situation (student, retiree, mom, etc.)? I am a student who will be attending graduate studies at McAfee School of Theology in Atlanta, GA, pursuing a Masters of Divinity.4. Describe an event that has made a spiritual impact on you. I have dealt with the loss of 4 people in family from the years of 2008 to 2012, throughout my college undergrad career. This has taught me that no matter what, God is in control and has a plan, and I cannot always choose what happens to me, but I can choose my response. This is a very personal issue I would rather not write a lot about since it is easier to tell in person.
