ANSWERING HIS CALL - WILL YOU?

"A person who has SURRENDERED EVERYTHING to Jesus is willing to do ANYTHING for Him.  If you won't do anything then He doesn't have everything."  Perry Noble

GOD HAS CALLED US TO FLORIDA - TO PARTNER WITH HIM - TO SHARE JESUS WITH PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HIM.  WILL YOU ANSWER HIS CALL?

God has given us an unbelievable opportunity this Summer to minister to Haitian people in Florida. 

"Passion" has been the word that is being brought up time and time again in our youth ministry.  Students and adults are seeing the need for "passion" in our people and in what we do.  We are seeing "passion"...God is doing something and His people are starting to get it.

I simply want to challenge all ONE80 and RELENTLESS students to really consider why you would not be a part of the Mission 2011 team.
* Is it to much money?
   - God fed over 5000 people with a little bit of fish and bread...He is our
     provider!
* Is it to much effort?
   - God will give us what we need to endure and persevere...He is our
      Sustainer!
* Does raising money and taking time out of your Summer make you
   un-comfortable?
   - Jesus died for you (and the Haitians in Florida).   Un-comfortable...
* Is Florida just not "exciting" enough?
   - If it's about Jesus and sharing Him with people then ANYPLACE should
      be exciting.

Listen...this is all about being on MISSION for God.  It is all about loving GOD and loving PEOPLE.  This is EXCITING!  This is what having a PASSION for God and people is all about.  This is what has been the driving force the past few weeks at S.W.A.P.!  I have heard it and I have seen it.

"This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine." 

Mathew 5:14-16 says "You are the light of the world - like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.  No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket.  Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."

God has lit a fire in us...let's not let satan blow it out.

There is still time to join the Mission 2011 team!

I love you!

Mark
