Now that's a good question. We know that God calls all to salvation and service. But remember, I am talking about being called to a life time of ministry such as pastor, evangelist, missionary, youth pastor, etc.
God uses all kind of people in ministry. In the Scriptures, we find God calling young, old, educated and uneducated, shepherds and kings, Gentile and Jew, men and women, to fulfill His purposes. The disciples were merchants, farmers, fishermen, and tax collectors. The Bible described some of them as unlearned or unschooled, ordinary men. However, the disciples all had one thing in common. They had been with Jesus and were filled with the Holy Spirit. You too can spend time with Jesus and be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
Today God is still calling all kinds of people into special service to Him, His Church, and to the world. Some are multi-talented. Others are outgoing and find making friends easy. Still others are quiet and reserved, or shy, but can readily build strong and solid relationships with others. They are trusted. Some are good public speakers, on stage, in front of a crowd. Others work behind the scenes with their shirt sleeves rolled up. They are intent on getting the job done. It doesn't matter what your personality, or talents, or giftings, or abilities or your experiences are. God can use you if you will let Him. It really doesn't matter from what background of life you are from. The key ingredient is your availability - Your willingness to say, "Yes, Lord. Here am I. Use me."
