Pay it forward

How many of you have watched God enter a life and heal them of, not only addiction, but of broken dreams, broken families and broken relationships? How many of you thought that NOTHING but death would release you or that loved one from their pain and torment? And how many of you discovered that God worked miracles through teen challenge?

I woke this morning with a dream in mind, but then after God reassured me on that, He put in my heart to say this:

Loved ones, graduates, volunteers, interns of the Teen Challenge Program, and those who have family lost in addiction, listen,

Your lives have been changed, your families restored, your future returned, your chains are broken. How much would you give to show your love and support to the program that saved your life? You know as well as I do that every little bit helps. When you see the look of joy in your child's face because you are present in relationship and they feel secure, how much is that worth to you? Do you pray for and hope for a better life for those you see lost in addiction? Do you wish for an answer to your prayers with that addict that just doesn't learn? Why not trust God for it? Why not support the program that can take them off the streets and let God work on their hearts?

For those who have been redeemed and restored, teen challenge still has women and men every day coming through those doors who have little or no sponsorship. Yet, teen challenge doesn't turn them away, just like they didn't turn you away. How much can you give a month to support someone else who needs your encouragement? Your restoration is done but another's has just begun. Imagine if every graduate just gave back a little bit each month to save someone else! Wow! We could save the world one broken soul at a time!

Let God touch on your heart what you should do to support the program that saved hour life and restored your families and quite possibly, as in my case, is restoring generations. The blessings to pour out are enormous when we trust God. Pray about it. He has put this on my heart to say, so whom among you needs to hear this and can continue to support others throughout our lifetimes for their salvation and healing?

God bless you all. Thanks for letting me share what he put on my heart.
