Here I am. With the date of departure quickly approaching I am beginning to wonder if I will make it to fulfill the desires of my heart. The desires to serve the needy and those whom the world has forgotten about. The desires to bring light into places where light has never been before. The desire to love those whom the world threw away and claimed they weren’t worth loving. I feel like theres an ember smoldering in my heart for these people and the more I read stories about these people its like throwing kindling on it and the more I think about it the more that ember is blown into flame and the more I talk about it the more I need to GO. My heart hurts for these people. People that are just like me and you but weren’t fortunate enough to grow up with all these nice American resources or to even be born into a family that would love them.
This is going to be an amazing chance for me to step away from all the luxuries I have grown up with and to step into a new life style in which I rely on God for my comfort. To get away from all the distractions in America and being able to focus on discipleship. What an awesome opportunity! My brothers and sisters from all around the country working together to help each other turn into the Christ-like men and women we were created to be and motivating and pushing each other to continue the ministry that Jesus Christ Himself began! How could I pass this up?!?
Right now there are children who were abandoned and sold by their family. Family is supposed to be there for you no matter what and family is supposed to be your first glimpse at what love is and yet these children don’t know that. But there is good news. I know someone who does love them. Loves them so much, in fact, that He would die for each individual child. This person just so happens to be living inside of me and wants these children to know that there is a family that loves them and that they have a Father that SO loves them! What an amzing gift we all have to give to these children! We have our Fathers love burning inside of us and that is something we cannot hold back from the world. There is too much hopelessness and darkness in the world to hold back the Light and Love that is Jesus Christ whom is living in each and every person who has faith in Him who took the punishment for our sins and defeated death once and for all.
We gotta be proactive about this. I don’t want to just sit back while there are millions of hopeless people that could know the love of my Father if someone would just show them.
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” Isaiah 6:8
Help fund me so I can go and fulfill these desires that I believe God Himself gave me! My first deadline of $3,500 is quickly approaching and as you can see in that green bar up top I am far from that goal. Thanks for everything guys!
