As Christians, letting go and recognizing where Jesus can lead us is difficult. We may be fearful of the next chapter, or content at the place in life we are at. But when Jesus calls, we should answer! Ministry is a gift from the Lord to expand His kingdom. God calls us to be willing to expand it, to make disciples of many nations.
Matthew 4:18-19 “As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon also called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “‘Come follow me’” Jesus said, “‘And I will send you out to fish for people.’ At once they left their nets and followed him.”
Larry Bragg is the area director for First Priority of St. Louis Metro East. Larry has been with First Priority for 10 months. Before First Priority, he was the Managing Director of a Chick-Fil-A in his town. While making a delivery to a local high school, Larry was introduced to First Priority. God made it very clear that the door was wide open for him to join the First Priority family.
Larry has a passion for students since he was previously a youth pastor. He knew that First Priority was a way to get Christ to the kids in school. Larry trusted God and knew that where God calls, he should go. Larry is an example of what it looks like to surrender to God and follow what His will is for our life. In doing so, Larry is impacting students’ lives.
