Recently I have been working with a business partner on a program that benefits veterans. During one call with a prospective client, we were told that he spent his entire civilian life building schools in poor countries. He had absolutely no savings and no income because he had dedicated his time to God instead of himself.
This is a topic that really hits home for me. I have put a lot of effort out over the years to try and create a financially safe life for me and my family. Sometimes I've done a better job than at other times, but usually I've been convinced that I'm doing the right thing. For a little while now, especially over the last year, I have had doubts.
I've been a part-time minister for about 12 years now, helping people in my spare-time through the Internet. Have I made a difference? Definitely. Could I be doing more? Well....probably. So how do I correct the problem?
Unfortunately I am unable to take advantage of the missionary life, due to medical reasons among other things. But how do I really give more of my life to God? What do I do? The answer is especially obvious.
In about a week or so a new version of The Intercessors website will go live. It will be much different from what you currently see. There will be options and features that will put it right up there with the best Christian sites on the web. How does that impact my life and my call to God? Well, it gives me more avenues. It opens up channels that might not have been available before. And hopefully it puts us in touch with more people who need us. Instead of doing a few coaching sessions a week, hopefully I'll be doing ten. In a few months hopefully it will be twenty. I think you get my drift.
