The last time I used the word “escapade” was just before my training camp to go on The World Race. It has been a year and 3 months since then. The word “escapade” is defined as a usually adventurous action that runs counter to approved or conventional conduct. I like it, because I’m Not “Normal” according to “Society”. I’m a 24 year old man with a Bachelors degree, I’ve traveled the World, seen its issues First Hand, been apart of “ministries” fighting the issues and bringing the Kingdom to Earth, and Now at home with no job. I’m in what one may call a “transitional period”.
While on the World Race, several ideas came to my mind of things I would like to devote my life towards. They were some pretty serious and deep thoughts. I’ve come to realize that I want to use my unique set of gifts, talents, and passions to be Like Jesus. To do Great Things that JESUS Did! I desire to use activities (sports or outdoors) to engage young people and build relationships. Specifically those in unfortunate situations and who have no Real Good Role Models to Look up To.
It’s truly in my Core & Heart to use these or any relationship(s) as a way to encourage, empower, mentor, show that some one really cares, instill morals, teach respect, and Most importantly what a Real Relationship with Jesus is all about. No, I don’t have a specific idea of how exactly this will look like. So, what the heck is the “next step”?
Let me introduce you to a place called G42. It’s a leadership academy located in Malaga, Spain. Their belief is based out of the 1st chapter in Matthew of how We, our time and generations, are the Christ-Filled group walking around on this Earth as Jesus bringing His Kingdom through our ideas/passions & actions that He so delicately has placed in our hearts and minds.
What G42 offers is the best place I believe able to help and push me towards the ideas/passions I want to implement. I have the privilege to inform you that I have been accepted to attend their January Term. It’s a 6 month program, and I’m Very excited about this opportunity. For more information about G42 Please visit their website here -> http://www.g42leadershipacademy.org/about/what-is-g42
I have been debating whether to go to G42 since June. I do not take this decision very lightly. The tuition costs a total of $6,000, so $1,000 per month. This covers the food, lodging, and materials needed while there. A plane ticket costs $1,400 (this price fluctuates and may go up as the date draws nearer to January). If you’d like to help with finances toward a plane ticket please send me a message.
I’m asking for people who are willing to come alongside me in this endeavor. This is a “launching point” of my idea to bringing God’s Kingdom somewhere on this World. How to contribute? One may help financially with 1 sum, or monthly. G42 is a registered as a 501(c)(3) Non-profit organization, so donations are tax-deductible. If you would like to support financially towards the academy you may do so either by check or by online. All donations are charged a 3% admin fee for processing by the way.
I am More than Willing to come and do Any kind of work if there is a need. I’m able, have energy, and a pretty open schedule. If You or you know Anyone who would like to offer me a job to EARN some support money, PLEASE Let Me Know!
