I want to write a blog that will tell you all what I am
doing. I want you to understand
the work of AIM: their goal, vision and mission. Because honestly, I believe that if people understood what
was going on here; if people knew the hearts of those who work here; if people
knew the hearts of a lot of missionaries and missions organizations around the
world; missionaries would not have to support raise because people would be
THROWING money at them!
This blog is not to shame anyone into giving me money! In
fact, I have some amazing and loyal people who believe in me, what AIM is doing
and have been so incredibly supportive of me. But there are many people who do not have that. I’m supposed to raise $10,000 by
January 2011 and that’s just for these 6 months. Most likely, I will continue on in my relationship with AIM
as a staff member which means that I will have to raise another $10,000 for the
year of 2011 and then another $10,000 the year after and on and on!
I completely understand that so many people are probably
sick and tired of giving me money.
They probably feel like I should “get a real job”. THIS is a real job. THIS is a job that can change
GENERATIONS!! My job is to go out
and find people who are willing to give up everything in their life and surrender
a year or a couple months to whole-heartedly following Jesus.
Giving up their
family and friends
Their phones and
reliable communication
Their beds and
showers
Their cars
Their jobs
Their privacy and
space…
DON’T YOU WANT A GENERATION LIKE THAT?
Don’t you want to be living in a generation where the kids
care more about the poor than they do about their own wants…
Who care more about the injustices of the world than about
their own comfort…
Who care about others more than themselves…
Who are defined by love…
Who are willing to work through the issues of their past to
become the men and woman God has created them to be?
I want to live in that generation! I want to be apart of raising that generation up! I AM apart
of raising that generation up!!
THAT is what my job is! HOW
BLESSED AM I?!?! YOU could be part of this generation!
“There is a generation of radicals whose
heartbeat is to see a changed world. It’s a generation that’s dissatisfied with
the status quo and is actively rising to the challenge of seeing the world
transformed through tangible expressions of God’s love. World Racers are seeing
lives changed in nations all over the world.” www.theworldrace.org
