Adventures WorldRace SethBarnes Sponsorship Giving

| by archiveworldraceblogs

I attended a conference once where a Hollywood producer or director was a guest speaker. To be honest I remember far more about what he said than who he was. But I do remember his heart to serve the poor. He shared story after story about his unashamed invitations to multi-million dollar stars to support such causes. He made the following point…
 
It is a privilege…
 
to feed the hungry
to help fight the war on AIDS
to provide for an orphan
to change a life
 
So why do we sometimes act otherwise?
 
When we know about such causes, it is our duty to spread the word, to extend the invitation. To ask the question…do you want to be a part of this?
 
Our last J-Squad fundraiser proved a success as we raised money on behalf of Pastor JJ in Pader, Uganda. As a last minute donation came through from one of my supporters, the blessing was increased to $3180!!  Thank you!
 
We have the opportunity to bring this same kind of blessing to Asia – specifically to Toch Village in Cambodia — which I had the honor of visiting, mentioned in my earlier They gave us their home blog.
 
So as this race is nearing it’s completion and J-Squad is taking advantage of our last fundraising opportunity together – we would like to invite you to take a look at Toch Village – and join the effort as you feel led.

Vuthy’s Vision from Nick Pauley on Vimeo.

 

We have met incredible people all over the world during this past year. We have gotten to live day in and day out with people who are putting it all on the line to follow God’s vision for their lives. We leave most months inspired and thankful that God would allow us to see the ways in which He is moving throughout the world.


This past month Team Ninja from the J Squad worked with one such inspiring person. His name is Vuthy Nurn, and he lives in a small, remote village in Cambodia called Toch Village. He was born in the village but spent his childhood in Phnom Penh, the capital. After a few rebellious years, he accepted Christ through YWAM. Almost immediately God laid a vision on his heart for how Vuthy could transform his village.


Vuthy’s vision is almost as big as his heart is. His vision includes building a home for abandoned children from the village, as well as for orphaned street kids from Phnom Penh. He wants to construct a youth center for the local youth from his village and the surrounding area. He wants a place for the youth to gather to learn about God, to have a space for a computer lab, and to run English classes. He currently runs English classes every day for local children and youth.


Throughout the month Team Ninja and the J Squad caught Vuthy’s vision. We believe that God is working mightily through his life. In order for Vuthy to be able to see these dreams come to pass in reality, he will need financial support. He needs money to begin the initial process to build both the orphanage and the youth center. Please watch the video that we have put together to give you a more complete picture of Vuthy and his vision. We hope that you will be able to see the amazing things that will come out of your donations to his project.


With love,


Team Ninja and the J Squad
