Why?

Many years ago, I had reached a crossroads in my Christian experience. I knew there was something more than going to church, doing the right things, being a good family man, a good person, even more than a good relationship with Jesus Christ. The excitement in my Christian life was missing.

I found myself looking at my fellow believers, all of us sitting there each Sabbath, looking at each other, singing the songs, listening to the special music, listening to the pastor, looking for a blessing, but not really doing anything for the Lord in return.
I think this is not an uncommon experience. I think many find, as I did, that the more we looked just at this things, the more discouraged we got. After all, our local church was not really "where the action was." We were trying, but honestly, not much was happening.

One Sabbath, a couple came to our church. They had a ministry. They brought with them, some young men who had serious life struggles and who needed their help. They told us their story and how God had led them. I knew right there, that there was more! Now, how to get involved? The Lord led us to our own opportunities to minister to others and as we did that and became more and more familiar with others who were doing the same, it became very clear. It was NOT that there was nothing happening....it was that we did not know where to look.

Now I have come to realize that for every flaw I see in my church, my fellow believer, and in my own life, there are hundreds, even thousands of AWESOME things God IS doing. Now its just a daily decision whether I will concentrate on all the problems around me, or DO SOMETHING POSITIVE for the Lord and for myself in the process.

Since then our family has been involved in many projects and we continue to immerse ourselves in every opportunity possible. In doing so, we have become of so many ministries and thousands of opportunities. And everyone that participates has a great story of God's blessing them while they bless others. It is so encouraging!

As I consider the scope of these ministries and God's working around this world, it seems to me that it would be a great encouragement to many if they could see and hear (and hopefully be motivated to participate) in what God is doing! So, I'm going to try to compile as much information here as possible, from every ministry possible, from every region of the world.

I'm hoping ministry leaders will respond to our invitation to send us information, news, and opportunities for participation. Please feel free to comment on what you find here. We want to know how and if it helps you in your Christian walk. Please encourage those in ministry to contact us and join in. The whole purpose is to gather as much information as possible in one centralized spot!

God bless you all as you Go Tell the World!
