UPDATED: 1) We might still have room to bless a few others, so please contact me and pass this to others.
2) For another upcoming project, I'm collected stories of testimonies and answered prayers. Basically any cool times the Lord has moved that you'd be willing to share the story of. I'd love to get a ton of them, so if you'd send them to me, or just an intro to them and I'll give more info of what I need at that point it would be great. Again, please ask people you know who might want to share to contact me, and follow along for updates. I really don't spam people or anything!
************************************
During my Bible study at Bible Study Fellowship, we were asked, "how can you make way for the Lord's return?". I immediately thought of all the "influencers" (regular people who make it big on internet platforms like YouTube and suddenly are revered for their opinions on a variety of matters) who are spreading secular news that people respond to. I think John the Baptist would have been the equivalent of a present-day influencer. We need more to spread the message that the Lord will be returning, and we do not know the day or hour.
I don't personally have the influence like those described above, but do think every word spoken or written can make a difference toward spreading this message. But after praying about all this I'm going to make a more deliberate effort to do some of this, and ask that you all would join me. Maybe together we can spread some good news!
The Lord put some cool ideas on my heart, and they're all intimidating, so I've been putting off this post for awhile now. But I can do all things through Him, so by His strength and courage we'll get to see Him do cool things. Since February will be the 10-year anniversary of my own healing, what better way to celebrate by blessing other people? We're going to select 10 people or families in desperate situations and try to bless them.
I'm hoping there will be some surprises involved, so I don't want to post every detail yet. But everyone who reads this (or listens to the podcast I'm starting to work on, stay tuned!!) can take part. This isn't about me in any way, it's about Him and blessing His children.
The plan:
1. I'll select 10 people or families and decided on the goals of how to bless them. I'd really like to hear from representatives of those people who can help with the details, so if you know of someone this could help, please contact me asap with info (they could be sick or suffering in any other way). We will work on blessing people with tangible needs or just special gifts like going to Disney.
2. Pray: We will pray regularly for all these people and work on collecting what we need to bless them, and we'll post all the praises from what He's doing in their lives in the meantime.
3. Collect: Hopefully the Lord will put it on other people's hearts to help collect what is needed for these blessings, then they can be blessed by seeing the fruit of all this.
So, any of this resonates with you, you will please pray for this endeavor, and elect anyone who can think of who could use such a blessing? You can contact me through the blog or email me at epetscher@gmail.com.
Hebrews 13:16, "Don't forget to do good and to share what you have because God is pleased with these kinds of sacrifices."
