It was as if they were mindlessly following those ahead of them to their ultimate destruction. It stirred me so much I left that meeting and went to a District Board Meeting being held after service and shared my experience and how I felt God was calling me into the ministry and needed to go to Bible School. They gave me some wise counsel and upon graduation I attended UPBI and the rest is history. That call has kept me focused in difficult and trying times in the ministry.

My pastor told me son you must learn to love people if you are going to preach,and he told me I must read my bible through from Genesis To Revelation ,and He told me I must know what I believe and why I believe it.

Thank you, brothers. Its interesting to hear the experiences of those called to preach. Truly Blessed, your vision is similar to mine. I saw two groups of people on either side of a bridge. I would call out to the people on one side to come accross the bridge I was standing on. I would lead them across, one by one. Are there others?
