One of the most exciting happenings in the church today is the ministry to high school and college youth. Over the past seven years, through the ministries of teaching and counseling, I have been fortunate to have had contact with numerous adolescents at both the secondary-school level and the college-undergraduate level. The adolescents I have come to know through these ministries have challenged me to examine and reflect upon my own questions, attitudes and beliefs concerning the meaning of faith in my own life. They have motivated me to attempt to understand, in a shark way, what Jesus invites us to do in his invitation to come follow me.
