I've been "called" to minister to the dying and their families through Hospice. Ordination and credentials is a must for human reasons (don't believe God requires it) and am now researching and learning (will be taking the ULC Seminary courses) about all the different cultures and their end of life rituals. I am a Christ follower, but I believe in ministering to ALL of God's children. I chose ULC because of the freedom to do that. I love Jesus, but his followers are so flippin condemning sometimes and I don't want to be held back anymore when God needs to use me. I found my calling through Lifechurch.tv's Church Online where I serve as a prayer volunteer in their live chat rooms. Speaking with cultures around the world and being able to minister to them online has truly opened my eyes and heart to the love God has for all of his children. The end of life ministry came about from research into near death experiences and shows like Ghost Hunters and Paranormal State. I feel an ache in my heart to help people go from this life to eternity with the greatest of love and knowing they are ready to go. I believe it helps the family handle grief better if they have an end of life minister there at that time. This has been the biggest blessing of my life.
