HISTORY OF EXPLORE THE CALL
Explore the Call is the result of a collaborative effort between Pastor Gene Roncone and Zion Bible College. Pastor Roncone has spent years studying the call of God and meeting with high school students exploring the call in weekly small group settings. He shared the idea of a free interactive web site that helps teens identify, explore and nurture the call of God with Zion’s president, Charles Crabtree. The two felt that the fusion of Roncone’s experience and Zion’s passion for preparing students for Spirit-filled ministry could be a significant contribution to the Spirit-filled community. They began outlining a strategy and building a development team in the fall of 2008 to launch explorethecall.com in the summer of 2009. The site now offers a weekly podcast hosted by Pastor Roncone, helpful resources, a chat room, blog and online mentoring provided by Zion’s staff. Explore the Call is the only known resource of its kind and seeks to help hundreds of teens explore the call of God to full-time ministry.
