1329 Words6 Pages

Dear Nathan Cashin and First Evangelical Missionary Church Board,

What a pleasure and privilege to be under consideration for serving as pastor of First Evangelical Missionary Church. I believe God has been preparing me for pastoral work throughout my life as my Father and spiritual leader, most recently through my position as Director of Young Adult and Senior Youth Ministry at Hillside Evangelical Missionary Church (Heb 12:5-11).

I came to faith in Christ during my time at Trent University. Though I had learned of Jesus growing up, this was when he became the centre and purpose of my life. I began to grow in studying God’s Word, sharing the gospel, and spending time with God prayer. Here my pastor asked me to share my first sermon. Starting …show more content…

Spending time in prayer and ministering to others, I have received confirmation of this call. James Park of Trinity EMC is the greatest influence for me to pursue work as a pastor within the EMC, providing preaching opportunities at his church, prayer, example, and encouragement. Serving at Hillside Church, God has been taking the vision of being a pastor that would equip and raise up others in their gifting to fulfill his calling on their life and provided the opportunity to do that with youth and young adults. Facilitating Bible studies, teaching, and delivering sermons has allowed me to teach and apply the Bible, teach how to study Scripture, and allow God to transform us, being led by the Holy Spirit in the message he wants to share and how he wants it shared to have the most impact. Together a community has developed, spending time together in encouragement over a potluck meal, praying for one another’s needs and in intercession for our world. I have learned how to speak in a way that is exciting, relevant, easy to understand, and concise. The Holy Spirit is revealing to me the topics and passages of Scripture to share that need to be heard at to take others the next step in their relationship with him. I had one of our gifted volunteers lead worship with youth, and formed another worship team with my wife and I, led by a talented youth. Providing leadership and service opportunities such as this …show more content…

The Canadian Youth Network has provided youth conferences and programs, with local leaders meeting for prayer, mentorship, encouragement, and planning collaborative youth and young adult events. One of these events is worship gatherings, which I enjoyed hosting at our church one month. A worship team from Newmarket led, with one of my youth sharing their testimony. The message God gave me really spoke to those present, on idolatry and the story of Gideon. The prayer time was based on what Trinity and Southland Church call a “Prayer Summit,” an engaging prayer time, led with prayer points and verses on the screen for a few minutes each, focusing on adoration, communion, thanksgiving, and intercession, followed by a time of praying in partners for one another’s

Coaching the Del City Bible Quiz team has been a life-changing experience from the beginning. When I founded the team in early April, my father, a pastor, was nearing the end of his eight-month transition from senior pastor to interim pastor to layperson. This lengthy process involved numerous churches across Oklahoma as well as the unfortunate loss of several friendships. Luckily, the Bible Quiz team became a source of new friendships that helped me through the tough transition.

I have found myself to be rooted deep down with my christian ministry group Chi Alpha. We are a group of students that seeks to make relationships within our religion of christianity in order to form a loving community for myself and many others to be a part of. Recently, I have found myself to be useful when it comes to running the soundboard at our worship and collaboration nights where I come in early in order to set up chords and mix the worship band as they practice. This has been an excellent experience as I have been able to keep up my love for music as the same time of attending university. My active participation to this after class activity has developed who I am as a person.

It has amazed me at times in my ministry that the most significant things are often the simple gestures of asking “how are you?” “What’s going on with you?” “What’s wrong?” and then genuinely offering myself to listen to the response. This is a day to day act of giving ourselves for others.

By volunteering at my local church and helping with local service projects, I have realized the commitment and perseverance it takes to lead by example. At my local church I continue to help with the organization of my youth group. After speaking at church staff meetings for several months we made it our goal to improve the youth group by ensuring that children and teens of all ages were included and had an opportunity to participate. I was able to create a system where teens who attended high school were paired with a middle school individual of the church. This provided a sense of inclusiveness and made the youth group more enjoyable for everyone.
