The Waymaker Youth Mission

"Only 10% of pastors stay in ministry until the age of 65!" Dave Harvey stated in his book, Am I Called? The Summons to Pastoral Ministry. This book was written in 2012 for those wondering whether they are called to full-time ministry, especially pastoral ministry. The foreword to this book was written by Matt Chandler. It was published by Crossway in Wheaton, IL. I would like to share a personal poem by Andrew Hawkins with you. It is entitled "Be All In!" Be All In You need

Many people have been wondering and asking, "What is CYIA? What is the purpose of CYIA? What age group can attend CYIA? How long does it take to go through discipleship training?" These are excellent questions. Let's address each one of these questions in this series of an Introduction to Child Evangelism Fellowship. Child Evangelism Fellowship was founded in 1937. Then they decided to create a discipleship program to disciple youth and effectively teach the Gospel of Jesus C

The universe seems a bit quieter to me this morning because of his absence, and a bit darker, as if someone has snuffed out a bright supernova.” Fox News Reported. I agree with this quote because I disagree with several of his theories. To honor his passing despite my disagreement, I am going to systematically go through his life and

(originally written on November 14, 2017) Relying on my dad’s driving technique, I embarked on a journey to the Warren Theater. Once we arrived, my dad and I trotted to the box office to buy tickets to see the astounding, spectacular film “God’s Not Dead.” My family and I took a seat in the auditorium and watched the greatest film ever made. Like the beautiful melody flowing from the lips of the chirping birds, I heard the most musical, melodious masterpiece— God’s Not Dead

A terrorizing Sniper used at least 10 automatic rifles to rain down a steady stream of fire for approximately 9 minutes. During the rounds from his automatic rifles, the murderous maniac murdered 59 innocent civilians and destroyed the livelihood of over 500 others. Psychopath Stephen Paddock launched the deadl

Thomas Alva Edison: Who was Thomas Alva Edison? Would anyone like to take a guess? (No) okay. Thomas Alva Edison was the creator of the Incandescent light bulb. He may be the greatest inventor that ever lived. He was born in a famous, awesome town of Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. Out of the seven Kids the parents had, Thomas was the youngest of them. The father was a political activist from Canada. Thomas Edison's mother was an accomplished school teacher. He moved t

(originally outlined in 2017, written in essay form in 2026) The Sword of the Spirit: Fighting for What is Right In the Christian life, there is a spiritual fight between you and the Devil. To win this battle and defeat Satan’s nasty minions, God gives us an awe-inspiring tool called the "Sword of the Spirit". While a real sword is a metal weapon used for attacking or defending, the Sword of the Spirit is actually the Word of God found in the Bible. It is a powerful offensiv

This story was written on May 1st, 2014. It is a true story. The Union Rescue Mission is a valuable asset to the community in Wichita, Kansas. Without further ado, here is a past article from 14-year-old Andrew. The Union Rescue Mission: My Perspective Over my life, I have been nagging my parents for Wii games, iPads, 3DS, 2DS, and books. I would like to share an example before I go on about the Union Rescue Mission. Let’s go back to last summer, while I was looking for a P

Johnny went to the kitchen and picked up a 1970s Coca-Cola bottle, which was about $2,000. Next, it slid out of his hand. Then, it broke into a million pieces. Next, He cleaned it up and didn’t tell Mom or Dad because he was afraid he would get punished. He did his schoolwork. He played video games all day long after school and still didn’t tell Mom. Arthur walked into the kitchen and saw that the 1970s Coca Cola bottle was missing. He just blew it off, grabbed some Starburs

The Call I give you my all. I will pick up the phone. I will answer your call. You are the one. You gave me dreams. dreams of my future. You gave me prayer teams. I am going to be in a new culture.

In the Breathless Society series, we looked at how they have the Mantra that Darkness is their closest companion. In this article, we will look at how some Christians look like those from the Breathless Society by asking questions. Are you wanting to live for Christ or for the Breathless Soceity? These questions will reveal which path you are on. How often do we spiral into temptation and live like the breathless society? The breathless society does not breathe in the wonder

Psalms 88 is one of the saddest psalm to the breathless Society. The Breathless Society believes that “Darkness is their closest companion.” This Psalm was written by Heman, the Ezrahite. Do you feel like your life is spiritual darkness, unable to see the light of day? Our life is a constant battle in the mind. Our life is not easy as a Christian. We constantly battle against Satan. We combat our innermost thought that “Darkness is my closest friend.” A Breathless society h

"Awake, o sleeper. arise from your spiritual grave. Be free from the grave of sin and death." --An Unknown author. A Breathless Society keeps hold on trying to find joy in their work, their family, their marriages, their sinful life, and their addictions. They seek joy in worldly desires instead of in true, unspeakable joy. They find fake joy and will never be satisfied. The most joyful people are the people who have little. When I went to Jamaica on a mission trip, I didn't

The Breathless Society loves to sit idle and pay lip service to God instead of truly living out their lives for Christ. They love to perform sacred religious chants and rituals. However, they have yet to place their Lord in Christ. They prefer to place their alliance to video games, alcoholism, lustful thoughts and desires, pride, shame, guilt, anger, impatience, quick-tempered, and the list goes on. There are two ways you can overcome this--one is to not be convicted by the

"Our Generation is dying." These were the words of the Israelites while they were wandering in the desert for 40 years. The Origin of the breathless society begins with the story of the meat that fell from Heaven. Psalms 78:28-53 describes this in the greatest detail because it reflects that time period. Here is Psalms 78:28-53 from the English Standard Version (ESV) 28 And he let them fall among them, and they ate and were well filled, for he gave them what they craved. 29 B

1) Repenting of your sins daily. (1 John 1:9). a. When you are living a Christ-centered life, you will not automatically stop sinning. Even if you sin, you still have the Holy Spirit living inside of you. All you have to do is have a repentant heart and confess your sins before God, and he will forgive you. He will cast your sins as far as the east is from the west. He will remember your sins no more. 2) Reading God’s Word daily. (Hebrews 4:12). a. The Word of God will nev
