Called - Understanding the Call to Ministry

Feeling called into some type of ministry?

“We work with both young and older students who have sensed God’s call, and want to know what they should do next. We couldn't find many quality resources on that topic, so as a team we developed a book that we hope will be helpful to many who have sensed God’s call.Michael Duduit, Dean of AU’s College of Christian Studies
What did Moses, Gideon, and even Paul all have in common? They all had significant questions as God began to speak into their lives and call them into His Service. Moses questioned his ability to serve.  Gideon questioned the validity of the call and Paul questioned the preconceived notions of what was possible for God’s church. If you want to see God work in your life as He did in the lives of Moses, Gideon and Paul, then say with Isaiah, “Here am I, Lord, send me!”
