Support?

In the last couple of weeks, I have had this conversation with a few brothers and sisters.  I believe that God has put this on my heart for a reason.  Making the decision to join the YMC may have opened up my eyes to this issue.  Or now I have a heightened sense of responsibility, I feel more vulnerable to Satan's attack because I have stepped out in obedience to God, yet also a greater responsibility to the youth, but also the children of my church - they will become youth one day, we have to set them up for success as I always say in the classroom, or in this case, to set them up to really understand Jesus and what the Gospel has to say!  My heart goes out for the youth at my church.  Hearing about how the Winter Camp went encourages me, yet how I executed on Friday discourages me.  I know I can do better for these kids.  Which brings me to what has been bothering me the last few weeks.

My concern, which I think may be becoming a burden (which could be a good thing!), is that there are brothers and sisters in positions of teaching who may not be the right people.  I want the best for our kids, they deserve the best!  And yes, when we are placed in these situations we are role models for these kids, you can not deny it - they look up to you, especially in youth ministry.  However, even if you are involved in children's ministry I still think that the kids look up to you, just in different ways.

When I say that these individuals may not be the "right people," I just have concerns about them, as a child of God.  Yes, I am wary at times of the training that they have received, but I am more so wary about how they are doing spiritually and whether their leaders are keeping them accountable.  Further, what support do they have behind them - especially spirtually, prayer and support from fellow brethren?

These concerns stem from my own experience in the past little while, with the YMC decision going through my mind.  I know that I could not have made this decision as easily as I did without first and foremost the prayer support I experienced with my fellow brothers and sisters.  I seriously do not know how I could have done the things I did in the past while and will be doing without their physical and prayer support.  They are, in fact, my family, they know when things are going well and when they are not, they are concerned about my spiritual wellbeing and I with theirs.  The fact that we know when there is something a little off with each other is a testament to how much we know and love each other.  Thus, I ask myself and it boggles my mind that someone can adequately serve in a ministry without attending Sunday service or to be plugged into the church through small groups/fellowship.  

Now the next question is why has God placed this on my heart and what he wants me to do.  I need to pray about this more.
