Go before God in prayer asking God to guide you along the way. Spending time in the word of God, but more importantly as well as the aforementioned, asking for God to help those who serve to be humble and be honest with yourself when you become distracted or caught up in the limelight. Being reminded by the Heavenly Father you are His child doing what will lead others to Him.

Misplaced values can lead to disappointment, discouragement and resentment. These misplaced values can give you a false sense of reality in terms of how things really are compared to how the individual thinks in their own mind they are. It speaks to their drive, motivation, winning and failures. Sometimes those experiences can take another course that leads to a humbling turn of events because they become drawn to a deeper sense of what their motives are and want something more substantial. It can bring about a revelation to seek God for understanding, direction, guidance and clarity.

If so, how do you see yourself implementing any of the four key success principles described by Colin Pinkney (Preparation, Engagement, Persistence, Patience)? How could you improve your implementation of any of these? (If you are not currently involved in sports ministry, how do you envision yourself implementing one of these principles in your future ministry?)

I am not currently involved in any sports except for what I do for me, however, I have been at one point in time for a number of years and would like to be moving forward. The PEPP concept is something in varying degrees I have used not knowing there was a concept module. I would implement the module moving forward if giving the opportunity again. Only God knows the way in which He will call me to serve.

Not sure if there’s something that is simpler. The Roman Road is good. As we walk this Christain journey being led by God will help us to learn, know and understand effective approaches to others.

When I first accepted Christ I was a babe. It took me sometime to develop and grow spiritually before I was able to even have a dialogue as what to say other than sharing my personal story. As I began to grow I could share, however, it still took me sometime because I was yet learning how to grow and maintenance my spiritual life as well. At some point God began to use me to witness through my spiritual trials and tribulation, God allowed me to be able to study His word, grow in grace and mercy and be an example to help draw others to Him. I am still yet growing, learning, sharing studying and witnessing as I continue in this way God draws me to others and allows me to be to cultivate in like manner.
