OUR PURPOSE!
God does all things for a reason. Sometimes it’s difficult to understand what those reasons are but we can be assured that God knows what He’s doing. We’ve spent the last 4 days in our blog talking about who we are and where we have been in our journey in life. Now it’s time to explain why!
Life is not lived in a vacuum all alone. We all face the same type challenges in some form or another. I am no expert nor am I qualified to give an answer for the difficulties we or our young adults face today. However, what I can do is share my journey with God and what He has taught us. I can also teach His Word which ultimately is the answer to everything. I can do my best to help our young adults connect to others who can give wisdom, advice and encouragement along the path of their lives. This is the place our journey has brought us to at this time!
Having 5 young adults ourselves, we know firsthand the challenges they face in life. I wish I could say we are the model parents but we are not. I wish I could say we have model young adults with perfect success and no problems but we do not! The truth is, none of us are perfect and the only true model is Jesus! What we can have is a loving, giving and serving heart. With this passionate heart we can all invest in the lives of our young adults by helping them to know who God is, what He is like and what He is all about while we teach them how to follow Him in order to make wise decisions and avoid the pit falls we’ve had in lives! Our young adults need mentors and those who will come along side them to connect with them and support them. This is what we believe God is calling us to do.
On Monday October 29, 2012, I would like to share with you a ministry God has called us to start entitled, “The Fellowship of Young Christian Professionals.” Please join us next week as we lay out a plan to support our young adults in today’s world by helping them to connect with Jesus Christ and each other. We will talk about the organization, it’s purpose, plan, vision, priorities and how you can help and be involved. We will also share the 7 areas of life that young adults told us they fear the most about facing real life as adults.
Please follow our blog and join us for the beginning of a journey we hope will, in some small way, help young adults to face the challenge of living life in today’s world.
Have a great weekend!
