Volunteer or Called


At a recent three day conference in Peru, Daniel Watts president of EGM, finished the conference a little differently. It might look like your normal altar call, but this was nothing like that. After articulating the amazing task and challenge of ministering to children, Daniel gave a call to respond. This call was not like any other. He challenged all of the children’s workers in the room to not serve because of guilt, not because the children need someone to care for them, not because the pastor asked, but Daniel asked the group of children’s workers to come forward and be prayed for if they felt GOD was CALLING them to serve children. The response was remarkable. Ninety-five percent of the people were out of their seats and standing to be prayed for. God is moving in the lives of His people to bring children into His presence. This past weekend almost 200 teachers stood to say that God’s call on their lives was to do just that.
