Challenging Normal

Youth Leader, God has given you a vision and a plan for leading a group of students and reaching the students far from God in your city. This should be one of the most exciting things in your life. It should be something that comes out in just about every conversation that you have. The people that God has placed around you to partner with you in ministry will only be as passionate/excited about what is going on as you are. People follow vision. People are looking for someone to paint the picture of where God is leading them. Draw up the play so to speak. That is what vision is in a nutshell, a picture of where God is wanting to take your ministry, or what God is desiring your ministry to look like. If you are not excited about it and give it clearly then no one will understand it or be willing to chase after that dream with you.

Passion is defiantly caught and not taught. Passion is contagious and rubs off on people really easy. We are looking for something to be excited about, we are desiring to be a part of something that is bigger than ourselves. As a Leader, you have to be excited way before anyone else is.

Do not get frustrated with people when they are not as fired up about what God is speaking to you as you are. You have seen it already, God has shown it to you, now it is your job to show it to them. If God has not shown you a vision for the ministry that He has called you to, you need to begin to pray and listen. He desires to.
