* I put together a personal mission statement for my life and ministry. Below is what I put together. It is a work in progress...

---Personal Mission Statement---

Values/principles to accomplish my life mission:

Being a man of my word by following through when I set forth to do something or say something.
Modeling Christ’s love to others by showing unconditional love and not being afraid to love when I may not be loved in return.
Sharing the Gospel through word and deed. Letting my actions for others show that I love Jesus in obeying His command to love others (Mark 12:31).
Encouraging Christians to live as disciples of Jesus Christ by teaching the truths of the scriptures and commissioning believers to go and tell others.
Continuing to be teachable to learn more from God and open to instruction from others.
Staying connected to a body of believers so I may be built up as a man of God and refreshed emotionally, spiritually, and physically

As a student I want to be open to instruction from my elders and commit myself to the study of truth.
As a minister or pastor I want to shine as an example of a man who loves and worships Christ alone, teaches others from a passion of the scriptures and encourages others to live like Jesus.
As a friend I want to love, be real in sharing my life with others that are close to me, and keep others accountable as they keep me accountable for my actions.
