‘Discern’ gives students ‘handle on what it means to be called’

They were searching for answers. In response to that search, a total of 48 students attended Discern — a now one-day event designed for high-school and college students who sense God calling them to Christian ministry — at Garaywa Camp & Conference Center in Clinton, Mississippi.

The conference, sponsored by the Discipleship/Sunday School department of the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board, grew from the heart of a group of student pastors who recognized a need to walk alongside students prayerfully considering God’s call.

‘How do I know if God is calling me?’

“The purpose of the conference,” said Ken Hall, consultant for Student Ministry of the MBCB Discipleship/Sunday School department of the Jan. 11 event, “is to give them a handle on what it means to be called. ‘How do I know if God is calling me? How do I answer that call? What do I need to be doing to live that call?’ are just a few of the questions that are addressed throughout the event.”
