No surprises here, but I still thought you’d enjoy reading the expectations list Stan sent to Worldventure:
- To serve our youth group as their youth pastor. This includes, but is not limited to being their Shepherd; teaching them the Word of God, equipping them for the work of ministry, discipleship, counseling, pouring his heart and life into our young people.
- To develop leaders within the youth group to serve in whatever capacity the Lord calls them to. Specifically to develop one or multiple youth pastors from within the group of Dutch nationals; Joey basically needs to multiply himself.
- To develop and organise our Youth ministry.
- To lead, organise, administer outreach to our community and (short-term) foreign missions.
- To seek and create opportunities for our youth to serve as missionaries/interns at established Calvary Chapels in the U.S.A. to gain practical ministry experience.
- To encourage our young people to take advantage of the many opportunities that Calvary Chapel provides to equip them beyond what we are able at the local church level. Such as the Calvary Chapel Bible Colleges and various other schools that CC has to offer.
- To learn the Dutch language.
Though I am trying not to fill in too much of our expectations for what ministry will be like (since it could all change once we’re on the ground), I can’t help it. Immediately my mind is set to thinking: “So, we could do this…and this…and this…and…”
