What burden do you own?

What is the cause — big or small — that nearly breaks your heart or moves you to tears?

In this important training session, children's ministry expert, Dave Staal will reconnect your ministry team to the purpose and passion of children's ministry:

"Because I know, and you know, that with every year that goes by, more and more kids desperately need God's love and a personal relationship with Jesus — or life will just swallow them up. That's why I pour out my heart in ministry each week and weekend."

You'll discover that owning a burden is so much more than simply being "aware" or "concerned." According to Staal, anybody can do that.

Are you willing to get caught up in the urgency — to do what God wants you to do?

Learn how to:

• Step up and do whatever is needed.
• Become fully available.
• Depend on God, knowing that He can do immeasurably more than we can do on our own!

Says Staal, "God could have selected anyone to fill the role you play in ministry or in your family, but He chose you. It's no accident."

Do you believe the truth that God has placed you in ministry for "such a time as this" — joyful, stressful, trying, abundant, or difficult?

That's where ministry preparation really starts! God has a plan to use your life to love His kids!
