Purposeful Africa, Changing Their World by Changing Yours
I am a Christian and I am dedicated to Christ’s charge that is found in what is commonly referred to as The Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20). I am to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to the people in my neighborhood, community, and those that I come in contact with daily. However, the charge doesn’t end there…Christ’s words include “all nations.” That’s a bit more inclusive than Hawk’s Nest Development, Coeur d’Alene, ID and North Idaho. So, how do I accomplish such a great task? Well, there are several ways. One obvious way is to physically GO and engage in ministry to folks in need. Another way is to support ministries and organizations that are involved in work throughout the world. There are many, many great organizations out there making a positive impact for the Kingdom of God.
One such organization that I have the privilege of working with that is loaded with great potential impact for the cause of Christ is Purposeful Africa. This organization is taking a unique approach to introducing people to missions and humanitarian efforts taking place in West Africa. I am excited about the way God is knitting this work together. I’m honored and grateful to be a part of the team working on this project. Below is a little bit more about Purposeful Africa. Please feel free to visit Purposeful Africa’s website, subscribe to the blog, follow us on twitter or Facebook. Please pray for us as this journey continues to be defined and developed.
About Purposeful Africa
We’re a global community passionate about proclaiming the Word of God to distant coastlands (Jer. 31:10). We seek to facilitate and connect wealth with poverty, travel with hope, and compassion with despair. We are starting with a journey to 7 countries in Sub Saharan Africa by ship. We hope and pray that the people who are moved to join us will help break poverty’s hold. But we’re not stopping there: Lord willing we will move forward to engage, inspire, and release compassion all over the nations of the earth.
Purposeful Africa is a catalyst for people to do something about the plight of poverty. We desire to connect the world of much with the world of little to create change and offer hope through Jesus Christ. Both the giver and receiver of compassion will be changed.
