He replied “My vision is to teach young men and women the wonderful gift of Jesus Christ.” This is one of the reason why I look up to him so much, is because I believe my calling in life is to be a youth pastor, and Roger has been a big influence on my decision making with what I have learned through his teachings. I remember when I was six years old and I was saved, and Roger Hood was sure enough there to have his hand on my back praying for me. I am very thankful to have a person like this in my life. He is a great example on how I want my life to be lived. In further discussion on his vision I asked him how he developed this vision.

And just what is missiology? It’s what effective Christian missionaries study and practice. They make it their business not only to understand the timeless gospel message, but also the culture in which they are ministering.

As a young man Arnold volunteered for the French & Indian War.
He taught us to be kind and not to judge, to treat our neighbors respectfully. He taught us to turn the other cheek and to have faith in God’s word. Jesus taught us not only to love ourselves but to love mankind as well. Jesus taught us how to walk the road to righteousness and to have faith in God our heavenly father.

Antipas replied to Luke saying, “If the goal of your narrative is to demonstrate Jesus’ claim to honor, it will have a lot of ground to cover” (Lost Letters of Pergamum 63). Naturally, curious Antipas was very interested in Luke’s words about Christ, and even though these new ideas were against his faith at the time, and it seemed that it would take eternity to learn all about them, he engaged in the monograph provided by Luke. Luke started to tell first about Jesus and his influence and the kind actions on Earth. The apostle told about how Jesus healed another apostle Peter’s mother in law and many other ill people, how he calmed a huge storm, and how he taught one of the most important lessons, “Ask, and it will be given you,” for people (Matthew 7:7).
