Moved from Press Stand to Lounge since this has nothing to do with news of any sort.
My suggestion is to pray about it. If your confident GOD has called you into Ministry certainly He will lead you in the right path and place. Just trust in Him brother

Ive been in the service of The Lord since 1988..I've seen many called to ministry and only a few chosen to be blessed..It's the heart before God that counts ..where is you're heart ? We are all called to ministry my heart is towards salvation and the love of God for all men ......pray for postion ( where Gods wants you ) and He will equip you ..leave you're own desires at the door and a word to remember ...if you want to be used of God ,you will be used by men..May The Lord give you clear direction and the desire to obey above and beyond you're own understanding but trusting The Lord always .
may you bring Glory to God as He uses you .....it dosent pay much but God has a great 401 kingdom plan.. Rev

2Co_3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
He called US all to be His ministers ! i know your talking about being a pastor !
but in the body , He has many different ministies ! Fast and pray !Then You can ask HIM yourself !
Mankind normally does not know , What God has planed for you or me ?
But , He wants to talk with us and reveal what He wants us to do !
Joh_10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Joh_10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

I suggest you start by being active in your church and expose youself to as many places of service as possible. IF others take notice and they tell you to consider going into ministry then pray as you are now. Share your call with your pastor, and ask him to take you under his wing. The pastor most likely share some books on preaching and outer duties of a pastor. Go to rescue mission's and see if you might be able to share your testamony and eventually preach a short sermon. NEVER TURN DOWN A CHANCE YO SERVE. Ministry often has those in ministry doing things that at the time seem they are clearly not in a ministries job description. Things like unplugging a toilet some chilld plugged up with a half a rool of T P. Or maybe some one fulshed garbage down because the garbage disposal was broke. Then maybe somone forgot to clean the church on Saturdayb so you clean it at 7:30 am yourself.
Much of ministry is serving! Have you ever used a hammer, toilet plunger, or painted? Do you mind getting spitup on your clothes? Visiting the little ones before the service is important too, they are part of the church as, remember? You may be part time, put there is no such thing as apart time pastor, just part time pay.
Please remember When we are called by God, SERVING IS WHAT YOU ARE CALLED TO DO. The times people watch you preach a sermon, or a funeral, wedding are all a fun time's, but most everything else is hard work serving others. Even preparing sermons is hard in finding the time to be in a quiet place and knowing what the LORD wants you do preach. Just as a little note, I never felt like I was fully prepared, I seldom had sermons come easy, there is always so much more you could have done or said.
I would be a shadow with your pastor as often as he will let you be with him. But be in the word everyday, and pray all the time, these are a high priorities. Hope this help's. Blessings.

i talked to a Church planter today, about me going into it and told him that God has called me into Children's Ministry and he replied that when he first was called that he felt God calling him into musical Ministry and said look at me now
i started becoming involved in Ministry and was a junior helper then became our Churches (church on Rush Creek ML campus, check it out its awesome) Third grade boys teacher and then moved 8 months later and have found a church that God called me to but i feel uncomfortable about. While I'm extremely joyful ive found a new place, i almost feel uneasy about helping out in a new church, and until i feel comfortable, what are some things i can do for myself to help me.
