there are problems out there that need Kingdom solutions.
Why do I help send missionaries to the US? It’s a simple answer, too:
The one fear that I have is that you aren’t going to watch this video. You need to watch this video. One of my goals is to share stories with you, to highlight some issues that are overseas, and let you know how you’re helping to eradicate these problems one life at a time.
There are street kids all over the world; homeless, abandoned, and left to medicate their chronic problems with debilitating means. One of those means is sniffing glue – and not just any glue – manufacturers glue.
So what are we doing about it? We have missionaries with the World Race in Kenya right now. One of them, Joe Bunting, is particularly alarmed by this issue and has felt the Lord leading him to do something about the problem. You can read his story here.
Two years ago, Marisa Banas pulled one of these glue-sniffing streets kids off of the dirt roads in Kenya, pulled the glue bottle away, and within a few weeks walked the boy named Alan into recovery. He now has a family to watch over him, a solid education, and dependency on God instead of an addiction to a glue bottle. You can read that story here.
Again, there are more problems out there than just glue-sniffers. There are people crippled by the economy that need jobs. We need missionaries to go rock local economies with Kingdom solutions. There are women and children trapped in brothels and strip clubs getting raped 20+ times a day. We need missionaries to go initiate God’s justice and ‘set the captives free’ with a Kingdom-driven army.
We need people to step into something bigger than themselves.
God’s people need to take action.
