HDC’s ministry is designed to prepare individuals to engage their relational world, their oikos (the Greek word for “household”), with the tremendous news of God’s grace.
Then in 1985 it happened. I’d like to say I heard a voice from heaven or that an angel came a visited me in my room. But it was much less dramatic than that. That winter morning in Newhall, California, I woke up with something I had never experienced before with God: passion! I would have thought I needed more talent, more skill or more effort to do something for God. But I found out what I really lacked was passion. I needed to have a God-ignited fire consume me.
In literally minutes, I went from being a person who was wondering about my own shortcomings to a person compelled to serve a God without any. I still didn’t want to be a pastor, but I surely wasn’t going to limit Him.
And this passion still burns inside of me. It is why I do what I do. And it's what I hope to see more and more in the people of the HDC-AV Campus. Talent, skill and effort are vital for the mission ahead, but what we need most are passionate people who God moves to reach out to their worlds with the message of hope. Are you with me?
