Castello’s mentor, Adam Lewis, told him while pray- ing he felt led to ask Castello when he was going to pursue his minister’s license. Cas- tello said that was the fi rst of many affi rmations along the way that led him into the ministry. Castello has been in the ministry for 10 years — serving in Illinois, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Indiana, Oklahoma and now Oregon. “I can’t imagine doing anything else,” he said. Elevate Student Min- istry meets Sundays from 5-7 p.m. It features a time of games, life groups, prayer and lessons. In addition, the ministry also includes camps, retreats, conferences and mission trips.
