I strongly believe that Rangers and Youth should
work together,
Missionettes and Youth should do the same.
Why?
We are working for the same goals. The kids that
are in
youth should stay there, until they are lead to
go into the
Ranger or Missionette ministry, which i feel is
a step up
towards living a life in Christ, but no way is
it the only
means of maturing in the walk toward
Jesus.
I have sent kids to youth who needed that
ministry,
they were like fish out of water in the Rangers.
I have
also been sent kids who the youth Pastor felt
needed
to mature in the direction of Rangers. God will
lead
them, and through God we will guide them.
Rangers
doesnt play second fiddle to youth, because
Rangers
is in the Brass section of the band so to speak.
We
are hard core, serious about Jesus and the
direction
Rangers is going. Rangers isnt a hang out
ministry,
its hands on 100%. We dont get the play Youth
gets
cause they are usually a bigger group. We are
the
elite, the ones that get involved in the
works of
Jesus. My goal is to get Rangers in the boys
blood,
plant the seed, then let Jesus move them. Im
only
a tool, to guide them for how ever long that
may
be. But i will use the other ministrys
for whatever
i can get. As a example---- I have two boys, One
a
TRAILBLAZER, The other a Challenger,
BOTH ARE
IN MEXICO DOING MISSION WORK right now as i write this e-mail. They went with the Youth
group
of our church. Praise God for giving them such a
oppurtunity. And thank God for allowing me to
work
along side the Youth Pastor and being a team
player.
It isnt easy being a Ranger. We seem to always be
walking up hill, always struggling to accomplish
our
goals, not quite fitting in with the crowd. Its like
being a Christian in a secular world.
Yes Jesus ..We will follow you..Praise God!
