I think this is critical in ensuring that we are not only connected to the larger church's mission, but critical to ensuring we do not end up wanting healthy marriages for their own sake. Everything God redeems, he does so for a purpose beyond thing being redeemed. We want healthy marriages to impact our world not just so couples get along better! Great reminder.

Always enjoy your creative thoughts and connections you make. Matt was the same way--wanted to be somewhere where he was kicking down doors and not babysitting. We are glad to have him back after his deployment..same unit as Jeff I believe. Blessings in 2012. Hey Eric. Always enjoy your creative thoughts and connections you make.

Consider this: after 1 trillion dollars spent in various forms of aid for Africa, that continent is little better off today than it was 40 years ago. Africa (and the rest of the developing world) needs jobs, not aid. Thankfully there is something we can do: partner with and invest in sustainable businesses in the developing world. Many entrepreneurs are primed for strategy help and equity investments that could grow businesses and create jobs. Many faith-oriented business execs could leverage years of experience to help businesses grow in underserved places. By rooting this work in faith-communities, the Church is positioned to offer powerful solutions to pressing issues, and expand her influence as a result. Here is the advertisement: Project Garden is a growing network of business leaders and a platform designed to accelerate job creation. Send me an email for more information.
