In my last post, I talked about all of the things that God has placed on my plate for the Kingdom. There is one thing that I haven’t shared yet and it was a vision that He gave me. Looking at how big this is my first thought was “how can I do this?” My next thought was “where would I get the money to fund something like that?” I started to think that maybe my wife would write a hit record, sell lots of albums, and then we could fund it. That is a long shot, but it could happen. I then started to realize that I was putting limitations on God and what He could do. I am not asking for money so please don’t think that. I know that when it is a God thing then God opens the door for you. I recently found a property downtown that had 4 buildings on it that need a lot of work, but could house 4 families and I started to ask myself, “is this it God?”
By now I am sure you are dying to know what my vision was. Lets just say people have been telling me for years to open a restaurant. I used to be a manager at a restaurant and everyone loves my cooking for dinner, but that wasn’t my calling. Do you know that God trains you along the way for something that is bigger than you?
My next calling was for the young men in this world and God called me to teach Royal Rangers at my church for 8 years. I loved teaching the boys about God, camping, tying knots, doing crafts, but God still put a burning desire for me to reach more people.
Then the KNGMusic ministry started out by doing one YouTube video that has turned into 10+. God led us to start a Christian Record Label and publishing company. We have written music that we felt people needed to hear because it touched our hearts. We want to be able to draw people closer to God by producing music for others but God didn’t stop there.
Even better was when a radio station asked me to start doing a podcast / sermon / Bible study that they could play over the air waves. Instantly I told myself that I wasn’t trained enough to do that, but God nudged me. Today, He has me doing a weekly Bible study and it is reaching hundreds of people around the world. Okay God, can you really top this?
Now to my vision…
God showed me like a clear day at the beach that I would create a loving atmosphere for families that have lost everything and hit rock bottom. I would have almost like a hotel type setting where the families would live, help around the hotel, learn new trades, I would help them rebuild financially based upon God’s principles, and then 6 to 12 months send them back into the world rebuilt, restored, and armed with the promises of God. The cooking that I learned would come into play because I would live there with them and cook a big meal like we are all family before the eyes of God. The teaching Rangers would come into play because of the different crafts, techniques, Bible verses, and heart for the kids. The music would be an option to help fund the vision as a non-profit. I would pray that those who came through the program and then became successful again in the world would help to fund pieces of the vision to create a snow ball effect to reach more and more people.
I don’t know what God’s big plan is, but I wanted to share what He has placed on my heart. I know that when the time is right everything will fall into place. I only ask for your prayers as my family continues to seek out God’s will for our lives.
Tonight my family went to visit and spend time with some foster kids and all I could think was, “how much more could I be doing for The Lord?”
Be with me in prayer for I know that The Lord is working around the clock on this puzzle.
