Should I Stay or Should I Go?

How to know whether to leave or stay in your ministry context.

“You’re called in until you’re called out.” I’ll never forget the words my mentor spoke over me when I found myself at a crossroads, wondering if I should stay or go in ministry.

My calling in had been clear: after four years of teaching high school English, I knew God was calling me out of the traditional classroom and into full-time outreach ministry. Sitting in the back of an auditorium one night, I felt the speaker’s words directed solely toward me. If you can’t imagine doing anything else with your life, maybe this is God’s way of directing you into full-time work ministry.

Two and a half years later, I stood at another crossroads: this time, I wondered whether I should return to the classroom, accept a ministry position close to home, or pursue another ministry position hundreds of miles away from home. Soon enough, I heard the words, clear as day: You’re free, my dear. You’re free! Free to follow my heart, I pursued the position eight hundred miles away from home and didn’t look back for another six years—until it really was time for me to go.

By that point, I clearly felt called out. Even though saying goodbye felt like a wrench to the heart, my time was over. Although the pain of leaving sometimes overwhelmed the joy of staying, a single choice to go remained. This time, God didn’t whisper words of clarity to me as much as God sat in silence beside me.

I’d been called out, just as I’d been called in.

Perhaps like me, you find yourself at a similar crossroads in ministry, wondering whether you should stay or go in your particular ministry context. You love the church, and you don’t have to think too far back to remember that ...

Salaam Bombay de Mira Nair (Extrait)

Krishna, dix ans, est abandonné par le cirque itinérant pour lequel il travaille et se retrouve à Bombay avec le rêve de gagner cinq cents roupies qu’il rapportera à sa mère dans son village natal.

En ville, il est immédiatement submergé par la folie et la cacophonie : policiers à l'affût, vacarme de la circulation, trafic de drogue, traite de femmes, univers fantasmagorique du cinéma, et partout des enfants qui comme lui survivent et succombent, dévorés par la ville.

Krishna débute au plus bas de la hiérarchie de la rue et devient Chaipu, ou celui-qui-porte-le-thé-et-le-pain.

Au hasard de ses livraisons, il rencontrera des personnages qui finiront par changer sa vie : Chillum, impétueux vétéran de la rue âgé de vingt-cinq ans ; Baba, caïd lunatique qui vit avec la solide Rekha et leur petite fille de huit ans, Manju ; Solasaal, une jeune Népalaise à l’esprit rebelle vendue comme prostituée... Chaipu devient, sans le savoir lui-même, le catalyseur de leurs vies respectives jusqu’à ce que celles-ci se fondent en un étonnant dénouement.

Himalaya - L'enfance d'un chef de Eric Valli (Bande annonce)

Un village perdu du Dolpo, dans l’Himalaya, à cinq mille mètres d’altitude. Le vieux chef Tinlé refuse de laisser la conduite de la caravane de yacks au jeune Karma, qu’il accuse d’être responsable de la mort de son fils.

Karma, ignorant les oracles et la colère du chef, lève la caravane avant la date rituelle, entraînant avec lui les jeunes du village.

Au jour fixé par les dieux, Tinlé, avec l’aide de son second fils Norbou, de son petit-fils Passang et de ses vieux compagnons, décide d’emmener une seconde caravane sur la route semée de dangers. S’engage alors, entre la montagne, les deux caravanes et les dieux, une course impitoyable pour la vie…
