How do you help a student who is struggling with a call to preach
I have a young high schooler who feels God is calling him to preach! I must confess i've had the same thoughts about him myself, its obvious God has plans for him! What steps, or advice would you give?

I would counsel him to finish high school, go to college to gain a marketable skill, go out into the job force, and if he still feels the pull to "preach," to do it. |

These guys have a lot of resources for helping teens determine a call to ministry, including a 4-week one-on-one mentorship for you to go through with them, college scholarships, and more. |

To answer, I'd need to know what you mean by struggling. Is this a call he feels & affirms? Or is he resisting it? |

I would encourage him to read "The Call Of A Lifetime" http://www.drurywriting.com/keith/index.books.htm |

Tell him to make his calling and election sure, study to show himself approved and study the live sand ministries of Jonah, Paul and Steven... Then, if he is still convinced AFTER counting the cost - he MUST pursue. |

If you have thought that he might have the gifts and talents then disciple him and make sure he is spiritually mature and Biblically literate. Help him to become a disciple maker. |
