Have you ever felt the need to make a difference? To do something to impact someone more than just the people close to you? Have you ever had the realization that your life is about more than just serving yourself? I have. That’s why my friend and I are starting what we call the Jesus Mission.
Last year at school, I was quiet, I had just one circle of people I hung out with, and we all faded into the background just doing the norm. This year however, my friend and I have really felt the drive to live for more than just ourselves. We want to live for Jesus; we want to serve Him in everything we do, in school and outside of school. Our plan or ‘mission’ as you might call it, is to be radical, to step out of our comfort zone, and be on fire for God. We want to be Jesus Freaks. This year, we’re going to make an impact on our school.
So yeah, this all may seem a little farfetched, but we can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13). Not only that, but I have a plan. This is how it’s going to work:
· Pray at lunch
· Reach out to ALL people not just our own table group (don’t be afraid about sharing the gospel to those around you. “When you shine light into light, who will see it? We need to be a light in the dark because when we group ourselves together, how are we serving God?”)
· Get involved with FCA-possibly lead it
· Starbucks bible study!!!!!!! (I mean who doesn’t love Starbucks??!!)
· Christian movie night on Saturday night
So these are just some ideas of how I can make a difference in my school. I’m not here to fit in with the crowd of people following the world; I’m here to live for Christ!
Wow! This is such an inspiraion. I look forward to reading future posts about your experience in making a difference. Thank you for creating this lovely blog!!
ReplyDeleteThis topic was very thought provoking! I especially enjoyed the fact that you are going to try and serve other's needs and not your own! I do think that schools are in desperate need of a Godly change. How would you suggest that I should reach out to others in my school?
ReplyDeleteI can tell already that this is going to be an amazing blog that will challenge me spiritually. I think the main part to being a Jesus Freak is to get out of our comfort zones. So often we want to be on fire for God, but only when we feel comfortable doing it. I think your ideas are great, and they would definitly get me out of my comfort zone (I especially like the Starbuck bible study idea). Do you have any other ideas that would get you out of your comfort zone?
ReplyDeleteI am totally advocating for this, we should get a group together !!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIncredible ... Go serve Christ well
