This is What The Tee Shirt Means

For all Hillsong Kids Leaders Australia! This is what the tee means!


THIS IS WHAT THE T-SHIRT MEANS.

It's orange.
It's bright.
And this is what it means.
Pastor Brian and Bobbie have entrusted the children of our church community to me.
It means that I have a mission. I have a vision.
It means I have a Holy calling, an influence that is eternal.
I don't take it lightly. It's too vital to be ignored.
A Church without children disappears in a generation.
So I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
This means I have put my hand up to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
It means that I have committed myself to see a generation grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ Jesus.
It means that I am part of a team that the families or our church put their trust in.
They trust us to reinforce and underpin the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to their kids.
I make church a safe place.
I make church meaningful.
I make church fun.
If our kids aren't having fun, they aren't learning.
I create the space for every child to experience God, and participate in His kingdom.
My goal is to give away this opportunity to serve and see kids doing the work of the ministry.
There is no 'kids church', there is only church.
We are not a school, a club or an institution.
We are the family of God.
We are one body under Christ, and my part is too significant to be trivialized.
I refuse to be discouraged or distracted.
I don't give in to small thinking and ordinary ideas.
I will not give up, give in or get tired.
I am not looking for prominence, but significance.
Let The Church get the blessing and God get the glory.
And maybe every now and then, I might get a few of these:
"THANK YOU".
I am a minister. I minister to the largest mission field in the world. I minister to children.

And that's what the tee shirt means.
