I’ve been a bit silent lately, and for that I sincerely apologize. We’re getting into a rhythm here and I
promise that you will be hearing from us regularly! Many of you may be wondering what exactly it
is we are doing down here in Georgia. And,
I would love to tell you all about it.
In
every healthy and thriving community, there are key people. I like to call them game-changers. These are the
people who lead the charge, who push people out of their comfort zones, who
encourage others to step into the greatness that God has called them into. You know the kind of people that I’m talking
about! You feel more alive simply because
you’re around them…
These
are the people we’re committed to developing.
The
World Race is an unbelievable experience. God absolutely shatters worlds on this
trip. People return with their hopes and
dreams redefined by the countless needs, injustices and issues in our
world. The simple satisfactions of life
somehow don’t cut it. Instead,
participants come back aching to do something more.
But
sometimes, this is where it stops.
Soon
their thoughts of changing the world are overtaken with hours in front of the
television, shopping trips filled with the newest fashions and arguments over
organic produce. It’s not that these
things are bad (who wouldn’t enjoy a bucket of fresh picked strawberries or a
new pair of shoes). It’s that alone they
lack purpose and life. And like you, I’m
not okay with this.
Therefore,
we’re developing a program for people who come off the field and want to go
deeper. For people who want to change
this world, but don’t have the knowledge or skills to know where to start. We will be spending the next years discipling
and training people to transform communities through the freedom, justice and
love of God’s Kingdom. Wherever they
go.
first group of participants started this past January and the next will begin
in just two weeks. It is obvious to us
that these individuals will be forever changing our world. From setting child sex slaves free in
Thailand to caring for orphans in Africa and teaching in inner-city schools, we
can promise that you will be hearing much more about them in the future. Thank
you for staying invested in our lives and ministry! We love and appreciate you so much!
