All believers are qualified for ministry
I was not born in the church. (most of us weren’t!) What I mean is that I did not attend church as a child. My parents didn’t attend, so I did not attend until a friend asked me when I was 13 years old. For a couple of years I attended church with friends, not my family (they did eventually come and now, 30+ yrs later are faithful attenders!) When I was a sophomore in highschool I responded to an altar call at Bible camp and I spent my time praying about my future. It was there that I felt a very clear calling on my life to be in church ministry. HOW was what I needed to figure out.
