After graduating from college last summer, I have been working part time in video production at a local church and part time elsewhere while seeking God’s direction in my life. I attended a conference at which the main speaker challenged us that, “Anything a Godly person does can and will be used to further the kingdom of God.” I began to feel as though God wanted me to consider full time ministry using my gifts in video production and administration in addition to one on one ministry. God led me to Acts chapter 6:1-7 where the apostles realize there are needs in the church that they cannot meet because they need to dedicate themselves to preaching the Gospel. They decide to anoint 7 strong believers to fulfill those needs and because of this “...the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.” (Acts 6:7)
Next year I will be a part of producing videos to promote our events and conferences on campus and utilized throughout the Midwestern region, helping to organize those events, and sharing Christ with students at the University of Nebraska (UNL). The events are an important part of the Navigator ministry as they create a fun atmosphere where we can get to know students better and they can feel comfortable bringing their friends. One event is called “The Island Party” where we have a have a bonfire and fun games on a sandbar on nearby Platte River. One of my friends was uncomfortable with church events and talking about a relationship with Christ, but was excited to come to the Island Party. After hearing other students share about their relationship with Christ there it opened doors for me to continue to dialogue with her about what being a Christian looks like.
The Navigators are a non- denominational ministry that seek to "Know Christ and Make Him Known." They have been at the University of Nebraska for over 50 years. Watch a video of student's lives that have been impacted:
