Note: Thanks for a very encouraging reader who emailed me this peom about children’s ministry. I wanted to pass it one for everyone to enjoy. It’s written by Roger Fields, see link to the whole peom below.
I am a missionary. I minister to the largest mission field in the world. I minister to children.
My calling is sure: my challenge is big: my vision is clear: my desire is strong: my influence is eternal: my impact is critical: my mission is urgent: my heart is genuine: my strength is supernatural: my reward is promised: and my God is real!

Thanks for posting this! It hit me hard, so hard that I had to post in on my blog and share it with the volenteers staff at Redeemer Fellowship.
