Three Challenges of gospel youth workers

A gospel youth worker is someone who submits and dedicates their lives in serving the Lord and helped spreading the good news to other people.

Many have been called to be a gospel worker but only few have answered the call for some several reasons.

The reasons of the youth that denied the calling is because of family problems like financial matters which is common to everyone, second is their professional career life which they could not give up in order to serve the Lord.  

It is really hard to give up something when you already are having enough money with what you are doing. And this hindered a person’s decisions to serve God or not. As some people know, a gospel worker is not rich, but not poor. Hence, the money thing is also a triggering decision whether to God or not to God.

I remember the story of a rich man ruler who wanted to have the eternal life but because of his riches, he denied following the footsteps of Jesus.

The same in today’s generation, many of us have been in this ordeal, we are given the opportunity to serve God but only few answered.  

To be a gospel youth worker, you must face different challenges in different situations. And these things I will wrote here is just a few of them.

The biggest challenge of the gospel youth worker is the peer pressure. Some people or friends might deride them, but we are being encouraged by the apostle Paul in his letter to Timothy that you should not be looked down instead be a model in speech faith and purity which is seldom we can find now at this present society.

Apostle Paul already warned us that in the last days, there will be perilous times and people will be terrible in lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to parent their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self control, brutal not lovers of the good, treacherous rash conceited lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

Thus the greatest challenge of the new millennium is to kindle the fire to bring back and restore the society to its original state as before. It is advised that the youth must bear all the positive virtues, having no fault that can be seen by the old.

Another challenge of a gospel youth worker is found in his mission field. There will come a time that people will laugh at you because you are bringing a Bible in your hand.

But this is not to discourage us, instead present to them the good news that we are transformed by His power and our purpose is to let the person know that God loved him too.

The third challenge that a gospel worker must endure is no other than self. There are many factors that contribute why the self is the hardest one to overcome. After all, it is your decision as a youth whether to follow or not? To serve God or Satan it is up to you. Also as an estranged person in the life of a gospel worker, you must strive to eliminate the loneliness from your family. It is likewise saying that, forget everything but not God.

There are some good role youth model that have worked to be transform the society to a loving, peaceful society, but only few succeed because they lacked the motivation to pursue their dream and were led to follow the those who are ahead of them and what the society dictates.

Being a gospel worker especially at a young age is quiet challenging, but after all the hardships God will bring a reward to his faithful little children who is co laborer with him.
