"There are no great people in this world, only great challenges which ordinary people rise to meet.
William Frederick Halsey, Jr.
There might be an exception somewhere in the world, but as a rule, the Lord wants to use people like you and me to meet the challenges, just His ordinary people. Most of the time, this happens just under the radar, so to speak.
We are a team of ordinary people rising to the challenge to do great things in this world.
Ordinary people change nations.
I’m sorry to say thought; it’s not as profound in the USA as it is in other nations. (But that is going to change)
Here is something to chew on.
Brazil in 2008, had over 6500 Married for Life, 1500 Parents for Life, and over 700 One for Life groups. In one year! Can you imagine how that can change a nation? They do this with ordinary people like you and me. Many other nations are experiencing that same excitement, maybe not to the same extent, but we believe someday they might.
(Just a side note: if you want a challenge, do what Brazil does. They won’t allow a group to start, unless it has two unsaved couples in the group first. They are having almost a 40% conversion rate. Tell me again, that won’t change a nation!)
We have a challenge in America, and that is that we have too many choices. We probably have a couple of dozen marriage type ministries to choose from, where other nations maybe have a couple. This is a challenge for us, but not one that can’t be overcome.
We need your help as a board of directors; we need to hear from the ordinary people, (that’s all of us) your ideas on how to reach our nations. Please ask the Lord to give you His strategy for taking your nation. Would you be so kind as to send your ideas to us? (Send them to our attention please and thanks in advance.)
This challenge is not about a person; God has told us it’s about teams of people, ordinary people, doing extraordinary things. Let’s rise to the challenge by sharing the vision with other “ordinary people”.
