Personal Statement Of Personal Ministry Experience

I grew up in the Christian faith, where at a young age I probably accepted Christ, but it wasn’t until my twelfth birthday when I decided to rededicate my life to Him after a friend wrote in a birthday card, “Remember what Jesus was doing when He was twelve?”

As a Christian counseling, I realize that I am an adjunct, specializing in a practice that is appropriately attached to and derived from the core practice, as it is legally defined (Clinton and Ohlschlager, p133). I also realize that I am more than a counselor; however, I have become a soul-care artisan, a disciple, a mentor, a spiritual director, and a guide into the deeper way of Christ (p132). Therefore, every Christian counseling session, I have encountered, has started with a prayer, to welcome God into the midst, as the Holy Spirit take the lead and guides what is said by me, as the counselor. As a Christian counselor, it is my hope that my knowledge of Spiritual formation reshapes the inner man, by being formed spiritually from the inside out, transforming from a selfish and carnal existence to a holy and joyful one; by one’s faith, as well as, the client’s faith, in God (Clinton and Ohlschlager, p130)

My experience with Christianity began in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Helena’s in South Minneapolis. I grew up a die-hard; attending every week with my mother and sister. I never understood the concept of God, Jesus and the Holy

I wanted to be a Chaplains assistant. Unfortunately, the position had been filled and I chose to go into the logistics field. I have always jokingly said that I was my recruiter’s easiest recruit to sign. I have always felt that I had to serve my country is some capacity and that if I couldn’t be a chaplain’s assistant then I would do something else. Either way, I was going to sign up and no one could make me change my mind. The primary reason for me to have signed up was to build my confidence up. I was 120Lbs. soaking wet and still healing in my mind. At the same time I had stopped listening to and seeking God. “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God, “when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. Amos 8:11 I wanted to do things my way and I was not open to listening to anyone else. I wandered in between the darkness and the light. I was looking for adventure and the Army helped to satisfy this for me. I hadn’t rejected my faith it was there, but I had a difficulty with being faithful and wanting adventure and “I delighted in save to love and to be beloved? But I held it not in moderation, mind to mind, the bright path of friendship, but out of the dark concupiscence of the flesh and the effervescence of youth exhalations came forth which obscured and overcast my heart, so that I was

This paper is the final results of my internship ministry practicum II experiences reflection in my church organization work settings and training. My experiences from different areas of exposure sharpened my skills for my professional role of the Doctor of Ministry Program in the theological field of counseling and teaching. My ministry practicum consists of direct involvements with hands-on, real-life interactions under the supervision of my Supervisor, Chaplain Andrea Fletcher. This Comprehensive Written Review analyzes the full spectrum of my observation and participation in tasks from my Ministry Learning Agreement Form. The opportunity allowed me to view other leaders in ministry exercising their gift and in turns

I feel by attending at Colorado Christian University will give me opportunity to advance my career with Frontier Communications. I am wanting to go into training which requires intensive communication skills along with leadership and organizational skills. I also want to continue my education to display and model to my 2 children that you can reach your goals no matter what obsicles that may come to try to deter you. I was pregnant with my first child at 15 years of age. The struggle from having a child at a young age was a very difficult and challenging time in my life. During that time I had no thoughts of continuing my education beyond high school. Some days I had no energy, I no focus, and even determination, I was at a point where I was only surviving day to day was

I did first realize His presence at my Charlotte school but that was not how I became closer to him. Once I had this experience I began to do research. I watch YouTube videos about Christianity and I began to understand the faith. Jennifer was in the same boat, she had a spark experience but learned everything off the internet. This book helped me strengthen my relationship with God because of the way Jennifer found her way to God.

Each time, however, I was surprised that they had come to me. I have believed and never denied my faith but have not worn my faith on my sleeve, so having peers, subordinates and superiors come to me was not necessarily expected. Throughout my career with the military and in the civilian sector once I joined the Air National Guard I have had crossroads, and each time that still small voice called my toward ministry, but I avoided that call and went another way as I had since I was teenager. But I began, and now see clearly, a pattern. When I avoid the gentle nudge to serve the lord I always follow a path that leads me to service. I joined the military, service my nation and then the National Guard service my state. Next, I became a police officer servicing my community and at the same time was a special needs teacher serving the communities children. I have come to the conclusion that I have avoided the ministry because I was afraid of what others might think or say. I was not the model student or best person throughout my life and the flaws I know in myself and other know as well have kept me from pursuing the

I was first introduced to Jesus Christ through several Korean missionaries from America, who came to my orphanage in Russia one day. A bright green church, which is my favorite color to this day, was implanted right behind my orphanage and the people of the church went around inviting and encouraging people to join them on Sunday mornings. We were told there would be donuts and other food. Of course that would lure any orphan right off the bat. I among other children, joined the church on Sunday mornings. Maybe it was simply the donuts, but I felt accepted right away. Although I was very fond of the things we were told and taught, they appeared to be only stories to me. The stories did not become an entity or reached my heart until after I got adopted into a Christian family three years later.

Sure Pastor. I love the idea of a church wide time for revival. The back the school bash is that same week. Would it be possible to use one of those nights for the bash and the other two nights for the revival? This will minimize cost and effort. Also, Can I let the committee ( Bridgette, Natalie, Delphine, Nette, and Savanah) know to reschedule the groups that are coming to August?

This is my essay about why I wish to pursue a Christian biblical career. My life has not been a simple one, but thanks to my creator, (also known as my father ((God)), I’m here today to share my story with you. I was molested from the ages 8-12 by my mom’s boyfriend. We turned him into jail, but after two months he got out. My mom felt sorry for him because he had nowhere to go so she secreted him back into the house at night. I woke up to get a drink of water and caught them sleeping together, so I ran away from home. My mom got rid of him the next day, but the damage was already done. I ran and continued to run my whole life. From the ages 12-18 I was a prostitute addicted to drugs. I had to share my food with rats one weekend while I was locked in a closet. I was handcuffed to an abandoned shack left for

I am loyal, responsible, capable adventurous, honest, and athletic. I love to try new things wither it is food or new Ideas to further advance my knowledge. I am the oldest of four so I have to take responsibility to set an exemplary example, and I have to help out around the house to help with my youngest sister. I love to play sports and I play multiple sports yearend. I am trusted by other families to babysit their children so I am definitely responsible and trustworthy.

I accepted Christ at the age of 12 at Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church in Bells, TN. It was rural church and over the years, pastors would not stay long because it was a great place for young pastors to get experience and leave for a larger congregation. At the age of 17, I joined the military and my spiritual formation really began to blossom. After traveling over four continents, I had an experience to learn from different ministers who actually went to seminary as opposed to the ones who did not attend an actual school. Every chaplain in the military had a seminary degree and the ones who captured my attention put emphasis on learning Greek and Hebrew.

Their present is focused on Worship, Outreach and Social Justice, Relationships and Partnerships, Education and Spiritual Growth, and The Arts. In the worship setting, they want to present several opportunities for people to worship every week. They believe integrating music into their worship enlightens the overall worship experience.

Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. -Martin Luther King, Jr. This quote appeals to the journey that I believe that I am beginning on to develop what’s next for me as I leave Wiley College. This Field experience has helped me to begin got map out where I want to work after I’ve met all requirements for my undergraduate degree. I had the opportunity to volunteer in the office of the Chaplain of Wiley College. The experience of ministry is something I believe you have to be equipped for while working as a campus pastor to students on a college campus.
