I just spent the past half an hour reading posts about how to gain more traffic on my blog or how to create magnetic headlines. And granted, these hold water and useful guidelines, but ultimately I’m engaged more in a promise to fulfill than bound by a quota to meet.
If you’ve found yourself here by accident, or even not by accident, allow me to set a premise for the next 18 months of my life. Beginning in July I’ll be travelling to 11 different countries for 11 different months (11in11 as they say).
India
Nepal
Thailand
Challenge: Asia
Cambodia
Vietnam
Rwanda
Uganda
Kenya
Latvia
Estonia
The Lord has opened doors for the proclamation of the manifestation of the Word, who is Jesus.
Woah. That’s crazy! That’s big. Bigger than me. Bigger than you. Bigger than I could dare to imagine. But that’s the point. It’s an answer to a call, no rather the invitation, of the greatest story ever told. It’s about failure and brokenness and beauty and loveandredemptionandgraceandrestoration and infinitely more than that.
This blog is not a promise to the people in these countries – it’s not to the lost sons and daughters who are searching for Truth. The time will come when their Father will search them out. This blog is a promise to you, accident or no accident, who are fellow believers in the risen Son of the Most High God. We are a body and those who go to speak to the nations can only extend as far their members send them. This trip isn’t possible without you, without your financial giving but more importantly, your thoughts and your prayers. In the bigger picture, your financial gifts will bring me to these places, but your prayers will bring me through these places. This is a promise to not waste the opportunity the Lord has presented, and what you have made possible.
The aim of this trip is to give hope to the hopeless, faith to the faithless, connect orphans to their Father. This is a promise to bring you along in this journey because it’s not just my adventure, but yours as well. Please, walk with me as we bring redemption to a broken world.
I love you all.
For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. -Ephesians 1:15-21
p.s. Hallelujah!
