Attempting Things So Big, Without God It’s Destined to Fail From the very beginning of the ministry, the idea has been to attempt BIG things in His name. To not do so would be to put God in a box, to say, "He can only do so much". As for us, it's true; we can only do so much. Relying on Him to do BIG things, through the ministry, well that’s a different story entirely. We truly believe what Jesus told the disciples in Matthew 21:21, so much so we derived the ministries name from it. We have some huge goals that we are starting to work on for the future. The following goals will seem unattainable to most. We have even had well meaning Christians tell us we would never obtain them. Well the God we serve tells us differently. The God we serve has control over everything. So we might sound crazy or a little stubborn, but we have been given a Vision by our God (the one and only true God) and we will not let any man take that from us, because of their lack of faith. Please be in prayer that not only will we achieve these goals, but He shows you how you can help us to do so. Wouldn't you like to be a part of something so BIG that only God could make it happen?
1st Goal Our first goal is to raise $30,000 to to outfit a work trailer with equipment and tools that would be used to do ministry projects. This would allow us to have all the tools we needed when missions groups came to serve. It would also allow us to better serve the community with the ability to serve local ministries year round even if we did not have groups in, using a base of local volunteers from area churches. One of the reasons we moved the ministry to this area, was to become a resource for other local ministries to use in order to help them and the people they serve by providing free labor. We want to become the first folks that are called when there is a project that is needed to be done. This trailer would also be outfitted to travel and do ministry such as disaster relief and helping other ministries outside our area, and it would be on constant stand-by to be put in action when a local disaster/need arises. Please pray for this goal. $30,000 to us is literally unimaginable, much less unattainable. However, through His people this can be achieved instantly. Click here for our Current Ministry Needs List.
2nd Goal Our second goal is to acquire some land. This land will serve as home to a camp that's main function would be to house missions groups. It would allow us to bring in 100-150 people at a time to do mission work locally. Can you imagine how much could be accomplished with 1000's of willing souls ready to serve others by serving Him? The camp would bring in groups year round, not just in the summer, because the needs are always here no matter the season. Please go to Base Camp to get more details about the camp. Not only do we have volunteers ready to build this camp, but to come and run it as well. All we need is the land! Donated land near the beach! Is this a huge goal, an unattainable goal? Most certainly it is for us, but for Him, noooo problem! Why, because He owns it all ready and with Him nothing is impossible. (Ps. 24:1) Many of you know someone right now that could easily give us this land. Won’t you take a minute and pray with us that they remember that it is His land and they or merely stewards of it. If you really want to be a part of something BIG in His name, send this link to them or better yet give them a call. Who knows, maybe God has already been talking to them about this, but they just did not know who had the need!
Imagine being part of a ministry that has the resources to meet the needs of those serving others and those that are themselves in need locally and across the south. Imagine being part of a ministry that has set up a camp with almost no funds that is bringing in 1000's of campers a year to not only serve others locally, but be trained to return home and serve in their own communities. You might not think you can help us achieve these goals, but in reality if you would just take a few minutes to pray that God would show you how you could, you might be surprised. Maybe you are the one He is going to use help us or maybe you are the one that is going to take a few minutes and make a phone call or send an email to another that He will use. Or maybe He is telling you to help by simply sending $10 or praying for us and the Vision He has given us. Even if you can not help us, please allow Him to use you for BIG things!
Matthew 21:21 (NIV
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done.
Ps. 24:1 (NIV)
The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it
