THE CALL
Persistent God,
Your voice beckons like some secret yet to be revealed
I am drawn to your invitation yet scared by the possibilities it might hold for my life
You ask to be loved with a whole heart, a whole soul, and a whole mind
And I tremble at the thought of what that will demand of me and of my life
Lead me to a place where I can hear the wisdom of your words
Speak to me so that I can understand your plan for me
Call me to a life that serves you
Strengthen me so that my “YES” is louder than the world’s “NO”
Gift me with the faith to answer your call and the trust to follow in your footsteps all the days of my life
Amen!

Reflection Questions: Please reflect on the following questions and in a few words, state your thoughts.
- Why are you interested in serving on the FIAT team?
- Describe some of the gifts and talents that you could bring to the Search program and other Diocesan Youth Ministry activities as a FIAT member.
- What do you see as the greatest need of young people your own age?
- Describe your relationship with God.
- Leadership is the process of influencing the activities of an individual or group toward accomplishing goals in a given situation. Leadership is service to the needs or goals of an individual or group. Leadership isn’t something done “at” people, it is something done by, with, and for people. How do you think FIAT can demonstrate this type of leadership?
