Certificate of Youth Ministry Reviews
exciting
Highly recommend for anyone around the world that would like to work with the youth in a Christian Setting
Fear God in everything we do
Every soul has a purpose in this world. I dont believe that there is not even one soul without a purpose. If that would be the case, God’s sacrifice on that cross wouldn’t be justified. The bible Says in Ephesians 4:11, And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers. So, axx has combined a great lessons and materials for life time which is a great help who want to be engaged in the youth ministry. This will certaily help to grow more spiritually and our intimate walk with God. This will also enables us to understand the calling of God that He has for our lives. But most importantly this will enable us to fear God in everything that we do for Him.
