Get Started...

This past week we were visited by Pastor Hosea Nelson Kyasooka from Kampala, Uganda. He is a dear friend and the pastor we work with there. He is a humble man of great faith. God has used him to challenge us in life-changing ways in during our trip to Uganda last summer.

Pastor Kyasooka operates under one ministry philosophy...God dreams big dreams. Most of us know this. When we receive a God-dream, we begin to prepare ourselves and gather the finances, staff, resources, and support needed to bring it to pass. This may take years. We wait and wait until we have nearly forgotten the dream to step out in pursuit of it. In some cases, we may miss it altogether by waiting so long. Not so with Pastor Kyasooka!

Pastor believes that if God gives you the dream, He will provide for it. We must step out with what we have and do what we can, even while we gather the people and resources needed to fulfill it. He believes that if step out and do what we can with what we have, God will reward our faith and supernaturally provide. He has lived by this in his ministry and experienced miraculous provision time and again. He lives "on the edge" of a miracle every single day.

His philosophy sparked a new level of activity for Ron and I. Since returning from Kampala, we have been stepping out to do what we can with what we have, even while gathering resources and support needed to fulfill the gigantic God-dream we hold in our hearts. A new zeal and excitement about the vision has surged and we are now seeing God's miraculous provision flow into HCI in various ways. Some miracles are little and others big - but all are a sign of God's delight in our steps of faith.

May we encourage you to adopt this philosophy too? If God puts something in your heart to do - perhaps a new ministry or business, or something for your local church, Heart Cry International, or a family member - do something! As you bathe the vision in prayer, look at what you have in your hands. Do what you can with what you have. As you step out, we know you too will experience the miraculous provision of God. You will see the dream become reality.

This is a time to act...not just to talk, think, or even pray. Jesus prayed AND He did something. Prayer moves the hand of God. It stirs up the waters and compels action. What might happen - how would the world be impacted - if each of us did what we can with what we have and believed God for more? Let's try it and see!
