Maybe some of you starting singing the “Peel Banana, peel peel banana” song. It’s just a typical phrase I like to say. I wanted to update everyone on my current status and what I’m trying to pursue these days and times! OH! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! It has been a blessing to be with family during this Holiday season, but I do miss being out in the World with others during this time of year.

Am I going to the G42 Leadership School in Spain In January?
– No
Why?
– Insufficient funding in order to go.
So What am I going to do now?
– After discussing with some of the staff over there at G42, I’m planning to attend in April of 2012!
Wait, what is this G42 thing?
– It’s a leadership school that is dedicated towards Empowering/Pushing people who have Desires and Dreams of using their specific skills and passions in order to Bring God’s Kingdom in however it may look like. Whether it’s church-planting, human-trafficking, media, etc. It’s a 6-month program with an Amazing community and network to help Launch people who attend with their Kingdom Bringing Ideas for the Many years to come! http://www.g42leadershipacademy.org/about/what-is-g42
Am I upset not being able to go in Jan.?
– A little, but I can’t get so upset about it I completely shut down. I figuring out what to do and now Moving Forward.
Why Do I Want to go to G42 for?
– Legitimate question. I have dreams of participating/running a sports ministry to some extent, where I will be able to be in the position to mentor and encourage kids, youth, or young adults. There’s an opportunity in South Sudan with a Huge need for people to come and mentor the thousands of orphans. I see G42 as a “training” time to learn, grow, and be pushed in a Healthy Environment to get ready not for just South Sudan, but Many years afterward. I WANT what they offer.
How am I paying for this trip to G42?
– Well, it costs $6,000 plus Airfare. I’ve already raised some support, trying to find odd jobs anywhere in Middle Georgia, and reaching out/raising awareness to ask for Financial Support. G42 is a 501c non-profit organization, so donations will be tax-deductible.

Why should we help financially?
– Another Legitimate Question. If you see that I seriously want to get off my butt, go forth bringing God’s Kingdom, and to be “trained” at G42 to Launch My (God’s really) Dream to go first to South Sudan and then who knows! Then, please consider. If you are unable to help out Financially please keep me in your prayers as I push to embark on this “next stage” in life, and share with your community/friends!
Ok, so if we are considering helping financially, How?
– Link is provided here -> http://www.g42leadershipacademy.org/donate (be sure to put my name) I Would ask for you to consider donating monthly. A little per month goes a LONG Way! Also, if you have ANY questions about donating PLEASE Ask!
Why not settle down and get a job like you’re “suppose to do”.
– 1st of all, you should know that I’m not normal by societies terms. 2nd, I am TIRED of Seeing the Issues in this World and Not Doing Anything about it OR the lack of people doing anything about it! I’m in a position where I am not tied down by long-term commitments, and able to go work with already existing organizations or start up my own! I got ideas, energy, time, and willingness. I want to share the Radical Love of God that I have felt to Others!
That’s just a piece of my heart and what I want to do. Thanks for reading!
