Have you ever been inspired to do something big? Something great? Something so powerful it could change the way another human being lives their life? Yah...me neither...
Let me tell you a wee little story about our friends Jeff and Ana. We met this couple through our small group and have adored them from the beginning. I could describe them in so many ways but what you really need to know is that they love God and have been called by Him to do something very special. In February they are traveling with our church to be missionaries in India. It kind of takes my breath away how incredible it is. I'm sure there has been a time in your life when you clearly heard Gods calling and ignored it. You probably said something like, surely that's not Gods will for me, He wouldn't tell me to (insert missed opportunity here)! Maybe you're pre-G right now and you felt something stirring in your heart and you dismissed it - coulda' been the Holy Spirit trying to break through...just sayin'...
I truly believe that we grow most when we're forced to be uncomfortable for Christ. When we're out of our comfort zone, in unknown territory, uncertain of whats ahead on life's road map and fully trusting that Christ will get us to where He needs us to be. Just thinking about how uncomfortable I would be in India makes me believe that Jeff and Ana are going to experience some serious growth! More importantly, they are going to help grow the people of India. These people worship millions of gods, its all they've ever known. To me, that's crazy. Jeff and Ana are going to go over there and tell them there is only one God< to them, that's crazy.
If you've been moved to spread the Good Word but you don't know how or you aren't quite ready to step off this continent to do so, would you consider donating to help Jeff and Ana get to India? As you can probably imagine the costs are significant but as previously stated in other posts, only significant alone. Perhaps you could skip Starbucks tomorrow or Taco Bell at lunch or skip your massive car payment this month (ha no jk, don't get silly) and send a few dollars their way.
If you are ready to do this, here's how:
Go to Cornerstone Chandler website www.cschandler.com
Click on ministries
Click on missions
Click on upcoming trips
Click on information
Below "India" and "Support a Team Member" (on the left) there is a Click Here area, do it!
(I will assume that most of you reading this tithe to your own church and not ours, so you'll have to set up an account which takes 5 seconds and no the church wont spam you or sell your information or try to take your firstborn son.) (Its fully tax deductible as if you needed more reasons to donate)
Scroll down to Jeff and Ana, select amount to give... and voila!
Literally that easy to bring the hope-less to the hopeful.
And if you're the praying sort:
+that the Holy Spirit would speak through Jeff and Ana to the people of India
+that everyone they come in contact with would be moved to salvation, fully believing and living out the word of God
+that the Holy Spirit would move Jeff and Ana to places they've never been and clearly show them what their ministry should be
