Y5 – Who are you when nobody’s watching?

by

Julius Buelow

youth presentation


It is one thing to act like a Christian when people are watching and when it will make you look good; it is a whole different challenge to live as a Christian when no one sees. This creative look at the book of Ruth will help us examine the challenge of the secret life of the Christian. We will see how God shapes who we are when nobody’s watching, and how that will affect the people around us when everyone’s watching.

bio info


Julius Buelow, born in Port Huron, Mich., was also reborn through baptism as an infant on August 26, 1990. He and his wife, Nicole, have four kids. Julius has learned to love churches big and small throughout his life and ministry. Whether at a 2000+ member church in Wisconsin or a 10-member church in Sweden, God is always there with his powerful word.

Julius likes reading, writing, music (especially saxophone), board games, food (especially mac and cheese), exercising (so he can eat more food), traveling, laughing, spending time with friends, playing (as frequently demanded by his kids), and all sorts of blessings God has given him. Most of all, Julius loves learning more about God and sharing what he’s learned. Julius looks forward to sharing God’s Word with you!
