Leadership is a choice, and I hope it is something you will consider choosing. Leadership is NOT just for the outgoing people, or the popular people, or the funniest people. Leadership is NOT an event on a calendar or a new program to fill a student’s already overbooked schedule. Leadership is a commitment.

The thing about commitments - at least the commitments that really matter - is that they are sometimes hard to keep. Sometimes a commitment in one area requires a sacrifice in another area. But isn’t it in those seasons of tension and perseverance that we grow deeper and more mature than if we never tried? Sometimes it is within the context of these choices that we find out who we really are and who God wants us to become.

This form is going to help you explore an opportunity to make such a commitment - an opportunity to be a part of the Peer Ministry Team. I will be expecting a lot of the PMT and this commitment may not be for everyone, but if you’re still reading this then I can only assume that you’re willing to find out if it is right for you. Jesus expected a lot from His disciples and, for some of you, joining the PMT may be the next best step in your walk to follow Jesus.

Still interested? Then keep reading. I hope you will seriously consider the choice to be a leader.

Warm Jesus Hugs,

Lydia Ross
Director of Student Ministry
