Why children's ministry? - Jim
Well, uncle Jim, I chose to get involved in Children's ministry because it's where I belong. I spent twelve years trying to find my niche at church, and I finally found where I would fit in. When our children's pastor aproached me about working with the kids at camp, I was horrified and scared, I didn't think I could do it. Around the same time, I got a job offer. I prayed about it and asked; give me a sign; show me what I need to do. I called on Wednesday about the job offer, as I had been asked, and they gave the job elsewhere. That's when I knew I made the right choice to push my paperwork through.
I'm a child at heart. I laugh with the kids, act like a kid, it's hard to explain. I love to be a kid with the kids, if you will. It's fun. I had wanted to be a pastor (rather, Chaplain) since I was eleven or so, but I felt myself being pulled closer to Children. For some reason, I got shoved towards Children's ministry, and that's where I've stayed. I have more friends that are 15 years my junior than I do having adults my age.
