What if our death and subsequent resurrection in our new bodies is actually the reuniting (the marriage) of Christ with His bride (us).  Right now, we are indwelt with the Holy Spirit.  So, What if it’s even bigger!? What if it is this amazing reunion of God with Himself - Jesus with the Holy Spirit?  Is this why the earth groans for the Lord’s return?  Is this the Holy Spirit’s heart aches resonating through us?

How often do I (we) pray, “God strip me of everything that keeps me from you?”  What if that means he will put you into financial ruin?  What if that means he will take away your job/intellect/school?  What if that means he will leave you physically disfigured?  What if that means you would lose your family/friends?  What if that was (whatever else you think you can’t live without or have change in your life)?  Would you still pray?

Ugandan Endeavor

Did you know that currently, 77% of Uganda’s overall population are youth and of that, 30% are orphans?

On August 3rd I am going to Uganda to start a project that will enrich local communities, rescue child soldiers from bondage, provide orphans with an education and basic healthcare, and give the orphans hope for a future free from poverty.

To achieve these goals, local Ugandans will run an internet cafe to generate a sustainable revenue stream allowing the profits to be used to support the orphanages. My role on the project is to start the internet café, train the employees, and provide business and technical consultation to stabilize the business.

I share this vision with you because I realize that success cannot be achieved without the support from my friends. I would like you to participate in this endeavor through some of the following areas:

• Prayer: If you have a relationship with Jesus, I’d love to have you pray with me.
• Advice: If you have insights, wisdom, concerns, or questions, please contact me. If you have ideas for business in developing nations, regional contacts, or economic models for sustaining this type of work, let’s brainstorm.
• Financial Support: My financial goal is $2,500 for my trip with any additional funds going toward the $13,000 start-up cost of the internet café. If you would like to help fund the trip, business, and orphanage, please send your tax-deductible donations made out to Antioch Allocation by:
  • Mail: Antioch Allocation
    6 N. Montague St.
    Arlington, VA 22203
  • Paypal: Credit Card / eCheck

I will share my experience at http://uganda.jason1365.com and keep it updated with new insights and issues as I continue on this journey. Thank you for considering to partner with me to change the lives of Ugandan orphans through business development.
