Describe why you believe that God has potentially called you to serve as a General Conference delegate.

I know it might sound crazy, but as soon as I saw the post, I felt an urging from the Holy Spirit.

But then I thought I saw all positions had been filled.

And was so excited when my pastor asked if I was interested. And I immediately said, Yes.

I have served as a lay delegate for the last two years for Leesburg Methodist. And I believe that my being part of the conference would excite and move my church to action.

I believe with all that I am, that God wants me to go, and that if that is true, He has already made a way.
