LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP)--High school senior Troy Rogers believed God wanted him to pursue ministry vocationally, but he wanted some guidance to confirm his calling.
Now he said he has confirmation, thanks to his experience at the "Kaleo" conference at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. (Kaleo is a Greek word meaning "to call aloud, to invite or to be called.")
"I have been feeling like I am called into student ministry for a few years now," said Rogers, of Kansas City, Mo. "When this conference was presented, I felt like it was something I needed to go to [for] advice.
"I feel stronger about my call to ministry after attending the conference. I don't think there is any other thing I would even consider doing now."
Kaleo coordinator Donald King said the conference is designed to help high school, college and seminary students discover and embrace God's call to serve either in a secular vocation or a fulltime ministry position.
