What can one person do?  
 
Can one person have an eternal impact?
 
Can one person carry a message of hope?  
 
Can one person love another like Christ loves?  
 
Can one person change lives with the power of the Gospel?
 
 
 
   In case you were wondering the answer is…Yes.  A resounding YES!
 
 
Now multiply that impact, that message, that love, that power by 185
That is how many young adults are getting ready to leave on the World
Race in January 2011.  185 life changers who will bring the Kingdom of
Heaven to earth wherever they go.

 
They came from all over the country this past Saturday, to have their
faith tested, to be broken, to pursue Christ, be filled with the Spirit,
and to meet others in their generation who are willing to step up and
say…I Will Go!

This week I have had the privilege to play a part in preparing and
sending them out.  I’ve been a part of their training camp in
Cartersville, Georgia and for the past week have witnessed firsthand the
calling of a generation. A year and a half ago I was in their shoes
with 32 others from my squad.  Since then, we’ve seen exponential growth
in the number of people that are embarking on this pilgrimage.  They
long to be used. They have a heart for the nations.

Starting Monday, October 25th, I am joining AIM in full-time ministry.  I
will be giving my life away in the belief that God is going to move and
use my generation to change the world…literally! Through God and my
supporters like YOU, I have already been able to change the lives of
thousands of people. Last year we fed the hungry, loved the fatherless,
took care of widows, and spread the love of Christ all over the world.

And this MUST continue… and you can make sure this happens by helping
me raise up MORE radical disciples that will go into the nations and
feed the hungry, love the fatherless, take care of widows, and spread
the love of Christ all over the world!  You are a part of this happening
when you give to support my ministry with Adventures in Missions and
The World Race. You are vital to this ministry. I need your financial
support as a staff member. I am raising my salary and working to see
what we both long for… the nations changed by the love of Christ.
Would you please consider supporting me and this ministry and partner
with me to make this happen?

While I am on staff my main focus will be on a project in Kenya
that I wrote about last time, but I will also be doing a lot of other
ministry in the surrounding community and with AIM…things like
equipping those who are heading out onto the field.  This is now my full
time job and I am looking for monthly supporters to join me.  I need to
raise $10,000 for my apprenticeship.  This covers all of my living
expenses for 6 months. I am in immediate need of $1,300 by Monday,
October 25th in order to begin my apprenticeship. Please pray about
sacrificially giving and joining me in this ministry. Together we can be
the change we want to see in this world!
