It is easier than ever before to give and get involved in ministry. There are no legitimate excuses! With social networking and the access we have to amazing technology it is easier than ever to be personally involved and invested in what God is doing throughout the world. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Blogs, Websites- there are amazing stories and first hand experiences that you can experience from the couch in your living room (I would, however, suggest getting off the couch, it's SO much better in person!)
Find something that makes your heart beat a little faster, the cause you are passionate about and get behind it with your time, your prayers and your dollars. Even if you cannot be the one to "get your hands dirty"- there IS a place for you! Contact someone, ask about the possibilities and begin to explore. Don't assume all the needs are met, or someone else will do it or that your skills or gifts don't fit. If you are interested, there is a place for you. It's up to you to go find it. Step into it!
Are you involved in a ministry? Share what God is doing and invite others into it.
Do you know of a need in your neighborhood or community? Begin to talk about it, share it, and figure out what you can do to meet that need.
Of course, I would love for you to get involved in what we are doing with Extreme in South America. Church planting is exciting! We have dedicated the last four and a half years of our life to it and can honestly say we never want to live outside of being involved in church plant work and discipleship again. For now, we are in Ecuador. In our future, only God knows! I can tell you anything you want to know about this ministry, our role within it and/or the possibilities for you to get involved. We need you and I know God could bless you here.
Because of our current place in ministry, we are not able to get involved in much else. There are, however, some projects and ministries that have caught my eye over the years and if I were in a position to get involved, I would research these! I am not endorsing these ministries per say, or signing off my seal of approval. I know little about them, their leadership structure, their ministry plans or how monies are allocated. I just love the idea of these ministries and I want to use this as an example of how easily it is to find information and a place to get involved. Say a pray, determine to be obedient to God's leading, do some research and find your place!
