I love to act and I have been blessed by God the ability to speak in front of people and relate to them really well. Last night during my devotional/quiet time, I felt God calling me to the ministry!!! I am soo excited, I could hardly sleep after I went to tell my parents! What kind of careers, are available for those who are called to the ministry, but not to be a pastor/minister? I would love to travel and speak at Youth Evangelism Conferences or do the skits!! How to get involved?

PRAISE GOD!!! But one thing to be sure of, Every believer is called to ministry. There are So many ministries! But Jesus commanded us ALL to.. "Therefore go, .." Matthew 28:19
Where to start? Well that all depends on you and God. Does God want you to stay and minister to the people in your own town? Or be a missionary in other countries? I truly believe we are first to start at home, as the Disciples were commanded in Acts. I started at home and I pray that He will allow me to go to countries that do not have even access to a Bible. Trust Him to where He wants you to go. And most importantly, Be Available! And don't fight where He wants you to go. You will be blessed. I'd love to know how it goes, contact me at renewdbychrist@yahoo.com
Joyful Ministering!!

Huh. I love to act and I too have the ability to speak in front of people and relate to them really well, but my ability came from inside me, and not from God. Oh well.
As for the ministry, why not be a pastor/minister if you REALLY believe you've been 'called'?
Do you think women are any less able or qualified to minister or to be a pastor?? Why would they be less able? Are they as smart as men? Yes. Are they as devout? Yes. Are they as wise? Wiser. Are they as serious? More so.
Sure, the entire Evangelism thing is a collossal waste of time and a massive fraud, but if you really want to do it, go all the way.

Yaaaaaaaaaaa God! Aight well there are many things you can do in the ministrey.. Actually it would be cool if u could work in my church because there are sooooo many options. Well if u can relate well with people, and are creative. U might wanna think of childrens ministrey. I know many people cringe at those words but God uses people powerfuly there. How children interact with people is how we are to God. Plus u never know what they will grow up to be. Anyways u could start off with youth ministrey, being a helper or assitent. You could even start a creative arts team at your church if they don't have one. Mine has one where u can paint during worship, or dance or do other cool stuff. Anyways look for stuff u can do where ever u are and volunteer. Have a servants heart and God bless!

The Lord be with you. I rejoice with you!
Credentials and connections are you two keys. That usually translates out as a stint of parish work which serves as a testing/filtering ground. Some churches require a formal school/seminary training and others will allow you a form of apprenticeship on the spot. Chuck Smith is an example. Try to connect w/ some of the events which interest you. Until you get a following or a reputation, their stewardship of the participants time will require you to do the back-up/background/back stage efforts.
Again, I rejoice with you and for the Kingdom.

Look into going to a Bible college. You can discover there where God can use your specific talents for ministry purposes, even acting skills. God bless you as you pursue your passion. I am excited too that I can use my skills to do what I am passionate about as well, teaching and coaching.

First find a church in your area that supports Christian fine arts. There are many Pentecostal and Assembly of God churches that do this. I attend a Baptist church so I am not trying to recruit you either. Find a worship team or a opening to begin working with youth or others and see where God takes you.

I wouldn't know (sorry), but I just HAD to answer this question and say. "Bless you!" That's so cool. Good luck with that career.

That is something that ONLY God can tell you. You must pray to Him and ask Him where He is leading you.
