As I have been preparing for ministry, the Lord has placed a powerful But simple message in my heart, Preach the word preach salvation and feed his sheep. I am 56 years old, ever since I was a young child, I have been prophesied over many many times about my ministry, January last year my father who was an evangelist for over 50 years passed away, but before he passed away he wanted to pass The ministry over to me, there has been a huge shift in my relationship with the Lord, he has begin to speak to me in a way he's never spoken to me before, he's open my eyes to see things to understand things I did not understand before one of my biggest request was to become transparent, let me tell you he showed me things that I needed to let go, things that would help me, my heart hurts for the lost, i'm asking you to pray with me for strength and patience, I know It's not me that does the work it's the Holy Spirit, I just want to be the very best I can in my service to the Lord. Thank you and God bless you. I also wanted to say thank you for this amazing app I use it every single day, it is helped me alone substantially in the world. Again thank you very much and may God richly bless you for your service not just me I said many others I know you were reaching.

That was a wonderful testimony Ray, to the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ & the powerful, never failing Work of His Spirit in your life. Your burning desire not only to serve the Lord with all the strength & wisdom He gives you, but also to be transparent & humble before Him as you sit at His Feet, will most assuredly carry you through into a fruitful ministry that will touch many lives. You're starting later in life, which you will have considered, but age is no barrier when the calling & Spirit of God is upon you.

You will find others on this Site that have been involved in various ministries & I can truly say, that when we want to serve Him & are prepared to lay aside everything for the Gospel, He will not disappoint & as He said (in Jer 33:3): "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not". I emphasize the 'great & mighty things': as we take the 'risks' & allow Him to lead us to wherever & to whomever He wants us to minister, you will see things happen that go far beyond your comprehension. Why will this be? For the blessing of those reached & the increase of your faith & love for Him. That's all the Lord wants: a clean, humble & willing vessel fitted out for the Master's use.

May the Lord bless you, bring many to a deeper knowledge of Him & the Cross & enrichen your life as you experience more & more of Him. There is no greater work that one can do on Earth, than to devote oneself to serving the Lord; and isn't that the calling of every believer?
