Imagine starting ministry at the tender age of 14 and it turns into a full-on ministry in the heart of your school and neighborhood. Sounds like a daunting task, right? That's exactly what Guery Ulysse, the founder of Young In Faith, did and continues to do. As we sat down with him, he unpacked his inspirational journey, right from his humble beginnings to the creation of a vibrant organization that empowers today's youth and students. He revealed the crucial role his mentors played, their belief in him led him to discover a passion that he himself was initially oblivious of – a passion for impacting schools and lost students.
Navigating through the challenging yet rewarding terrains of faith-based leadership, Guery shared his struggles when dealing with adversity, especially when on the precipice of significant breakthroughs. His resilience, unwavering faith, and an enlightening perspective on how persisting through these moments allows God's truth to wash over you, offered much-needed strength and insights. Speaking from the perspective of being a spiritual soldier, he emphasized that even Jesus faced hate and false accusations. As followers, we need to be ready to tread the same path, armored by our faith.
On a more relatable note, Guery shed light on the importance of contextualizing the Bible in a way that resonates with every generation. The key, he believes, is to offer a fresh perspective on an ancient text, making it digestible and relatable. We wrapped up with an encouraging note from Guery, urging listeners to persist no matter how hard life gets and to discover joy in Jesus every single day.
