I’ve been led to say this and I hope to say it only once…so I’ll try to be brief.

Some of us have wonderful plans and concepts for this pending blessing. But some of us outside of helping family and friends have proposed very little on paper “concept wise” in the way of giving back to our community.

Many of us may possibly even plan to tithe our ten percent believing that we’ve done what in God’s Word is required of us and that should be more than enough. But why not take it one step further?

Image if every one of us, were to open a church? Do you realize that God’s ten percent…the ten percent we plan to give to the church for many of us would not only be enough to build a church and that tithe alone would be sufficient to service the members and support that community for years to come…

I’m not saying you need to Pastor a church or that you’ve been called to the ministry…But there are other ways to be called…Because there are all sorts of callings. And whether you believe it or not…you were called in some way the day you entered into this venture.

Do you know how I initially became passionate about feeding others? It was on a day I had no money, no food and those hunger pains had me at nearly doubled over in pain… It wasn’t until then that I understood just how debilitating hunger could actually be and that not one should have to go through this…

And then to image a child or and elder suffering through such an ordeal suddenly became unbearable to me. An innocent child who doesn’t understand why or what they’ve done to deserve such agony… Or an elderly person who after years of hard work and dedication now feeling abandoned and overlooked…not just by the community but a country to which they’ve paid taxes, built up and put into for decades.

Is this how they were meant to live a time that was to supposedly become their golden years…?

People are need of healing…people deserve a place of refuge…a place to go to during the storms of life or trying times in their lives…Where they can not only be comforted but fed physically and spiritually… Oh I understand this may not be something you require but this never was about you, now was it?

And if you’re one of those skeptical of the church…or if you’ve ever been judged or condemned by others…You’re the person God has called for such a time as this!

So your assignment (should you choose to accept it)…is to make the church of your dreams… Make it the welcoming, embracing place you feel your church should be…And personally oversee the day to day operations by managing the operations and finances…or hire someone who can…

We’re in a battle here…and you realize that…The war doesn’t end once you’ve been paid…for some it may have just begun…If nothing else that’s the one thing we’ve all learned during this long arduous journey…

And in my opinion, there would be no better non-profit…no better opportunity to provide for your community…for your country than to serve the elderly and feed or educated the children than through various programs. Train our youth and keep them off drugs through internships that keep them out of gangs and away from the streets.

Give the suffering an alternative and a way out through education as well by allowing them to give back and volunteer their time and efforts within their community by paying it forward under that same roof.

This is transference of wealth! Many died for it but so many partakers didn’t survive to see this day…So as you build your legacy and legacy of those who have died and gone before us…humbly fulfill a facet of your destiny that mandates you maintain a heart for God’s people…

And just imagine the possibilities…
