Calling

Paul Hardaloupas is a member of Evanswood Church of God, our sister congregation in Troy. He grew up in a Greek Orthodox family and accepted Christ after he began attending Evanswood.

As a college student at Michigan State he became involved in Campus Crusade for Christ. They helped him build a foundation for his spiritual life.

Paul has a calling. He understands that as Christians we all have a calling. Serving Christ and extending his message is not the exclusive domain of pastors and missionaries. The work of the church is never done only by the ordained.

This year he is serving as a staff member with Campus Crusade at MSU. Our missions committee just sent him $500.00 toward his support. (All CC staff have to raise their own salary.)

His vision is "to guide students into the realization that they are sons and daughters of the King ... Know Christ, they are servants of the King ... Surrender to Christ, and they are ambassadors of the King ... Share Christ."

Pray for Paul. He also asks that we pray that every student would walk in the light of their identity in Christ.

You have a calling too. There is a mission field that needs your labor. Frank Tillapaugh and Richard Hurst make a powerful statement in their book Calling: When it comes to mission, the most important resource the church has is the calling of each of each of its members.

Calling. Do you know yours? Are you making a Kingdom impact? The calling of God is not something to disregard.


For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

- Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
