Two months ago I had to say goodbye to a church that I had ministered at for 4 year. It was hard to say goodbye but it was time for me to go. The church wanted to move in a new direction not focusing on youth ministry but the adults and the homeless. I was fine with what they wanted so I left. Over the past few months the pastor and others from the church wanted me to stay in contact with them. I have refused to do so. Why is I have moved on and left that ministry behind. I feel that when God moves you from one church to another then you must put your old church in your past and not try to minister to both churches. This has caused some sadness from the old church family. I think they feel that I have betrayed them by not talking but I feel like I need to move on and they do too. I do feel God lead me away and to a new church family. At my new home, there is a desire to learn and a mission field to reach people for Jesus. I am so glad God moved me away. When working with students, it can be hard to leave them. I worry about the students in my old church. But I have new ones that need guidance and direction. I thank God for New Ministries.
