A pastor has been called to a certain congregation with one major mandate in mind: “Revitalize our youth ministry!

However, the very faces that were on the pastoral call committee often have alternative family plans on Sunday nights.

I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. 4I have decided what to
