Garrett Edwards
|
Youth Minister
Garrett has been involved in Youth Ministry for 3 years. Since he became a follower of Jesus in 2003, God has led him into youth work not giving him any chance for second guessing. Youth ministry is often referred to as a giant roller coaster and Garrett has firmly strapped himself in for the ride. Growing more and more passionate about seeing young people recognise the relevance and need for God in their lives, he is trusting in a God who is both powerful and active in the youth of today.
Garrett's hobbies would include movies (yes he does love chick flicks - She's the Man, was his favourite last year, but cannot stand Legally Blonde or Keira Nightly, so Bend It Like Beckham is out as well) and still maintains that he is indeed a manly man ... he promises ... Garrett is also into super heroes (go Batman!) and music (a band called Further Seems Forever being his favourite.)
Oh, and he would also like to mention the girl in his life, the beautiful Kira Jemmett - one year down, hopefully the rest of their lives to go J
Check him out at myspace.
