and learn as much about it as you possibly can. Create your own designs, and work to make them a reality...one piece at a time. Google local fashion and modeling shows, and find out how you can get involved. Attend events. Have a business card. Know what it is that you want to offer to this world, and come up with a strategic plan to do so.

You have a heart for working with youth! There are so many ways you can fully engage in this mission field. Volunteer or work at a summer camp. Ask your Youth Leaders at church what you can do to help out. Plan some big outreach events, to connect with unsaved teens in your area. Start a Bible Study group. Intercede for your High School. Start a weekly prayer group that meets at your house. Start a Twitter account to spead the gospel. Dive into the Word, and ask the Lord for wisdom, and advice to share with young people when they ask for it. Go the extra mile to connect with your friends. Text them frequently, and ask them what they need prayer for. Be an amazing, safe friend; who doesn't gossip, spill secets, or talk badly about others. Plan a Crown of Beauty Conference in your area (Contact us, and we'd love to help you set that up!), or a COB Bible Study (we will provide the study materials!). Start a Youth Page on Facebook for prayer requests, praise reports, and daily encouragement. Simply engage whole-heartedly with the teens around you, and watch and see what God will do!

You probably have a passion for beautiful words, and beautiful places! If you adore writing, allow God to use you in that mission field! There are so many things you can be doing with your gifts and talents right now. As a writer myself, I have tons of ideas for this category (so many that they won't all fit on this page!). Flip to page 62, and check out the "Start Something" article!

It sounds like you are an absolute servant at heart. Sometimes, you might feel confused at the lack of 'clear direction' in your life. You may see that as a problem...but the truth is, God has designed you as a humble follower, and hard worker for a reason! Trust me. The radical visionaries who are full of ideas NEED you! You are a huge answer to prayer for the people around you! You are quick to jump in and help without being asked...there is a huge blessing in store for you! You love being the hands and feet to other people's projects...and that is an amazing thing! Jesus said the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven are the very least...those who humble themselves in order to make other people look amazing. You can have peace about where you are at...bloom where you are planted! Volunteer for new projects, serve wherever you can, and learn about as many things as possible!

You are a little Miss Missionary! It's undeniable. Your heart is in foreign lands. Girl, it's time to get your passport. Begin brainstorming ideas to raise money for your next misison trip. Pray and ask God to prepare you for the adventures and challenges ahead! Get connected with like-minded people who will be taking mission trips, and ask if you can tag along! You know where your heart lies...get out there and change the world! If you feel like you don't have any missionary connections, send us an email and we will see if we can hook you up. Enjoy flipping through this issue and meeting missionaries who started in the same place you did. All things are possible!

You are a worship warrior. Your role in the Kingdom is so vital. Atmospheres shift and strongholds break, whenever YOU lift up a song of praise to the King. When you play guitar and write worship songs in your room...you are in the heat of the mission field. God uses your praises like a weapon in His hand. Sing the Psalms. Rewrite the Psalms and turn them into your own songs! Take some songwriting classes. Learn new instruments. Interview worship leaders, and learn from them. Teach little kids about worship. Study the Word of God, and read every passage that has to do with having a heart of worship, and dive into what that looked like in the Old Testament vs. the New Testament. Mingle your worship time with your prayer time, by singing your prayers, and interceding for everyone you can think of. Spend as many hours as you possibly can in the presence of the King, pouring your love on Him, and you will without a doubt change this world!
