Hello, I appreciate you taking the time to read this. I'm reaching out to discuss partnership because I've embarked on an outreach ministry, and as stated throughout this website, I believe the vision I've been given requires the support of God's people to bring it to fruition.
As we know, Jesus' first call to His disciples was to follow Him and become fishers of men (recorded in Matthew, Mark, and Luke). He beckoned fishermen to join Him in His mission to spread the Kingdom of God. We see in Luke 5:4-7 how Jesus abundantly provided for His disciples, even surpassing their needs. This was a true partnership between Jesus and His followers, as highlighted in Matthew 17:27 when Jesus instructed them to find a coin in a fish's mouth to pay their taxes.
When we partner with God, the question shifts from what we can do for Him to what He can do for us. Scripture reassures us that if God is for us, no one can be against us. God calls us to step out in faith and confront the storms in our lives, allowing Him to work through us (Matthew 8:25-26).
The miracles Jesus performed with His disciples, such as multiplying the loaves and fish, demonstrate how God works through partnership. When we align ourselves with Him, His miracles flow through us (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).
When you partner with the Lord, He desires to bless you abundantly. He not only meets your needs but also heals you from sickness and raises you from spiritual death. We witness this in John 11:39-44, when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.
However, partnering with God is a choice. In Luke 18:18-27, Jesus challenged the rich young ruler to give up his wealth and follow Him. Unfortunately, the young man walked away from the opportunity.
Paul exemplified the power of partnership as he proclaimed the Gospel and received support from various churches, notably the Philippian church. Despite his imprisonment, Paul's gratitude towards the Philippians reflects the impact of their partnership (Philippians 4:14-16).
God takes the smallest offerings and transforms them into significant blessings. We are seeking individuals to partner with us in fulfilling Jesus' command to love our neighbors, share the Gospel, and become fishers of men.
It's God's desire that none should perish, but all should have eternal life. Our vision for this ministry is for youth to minister to youth through churches, television, and personal interactions. However, this vision can only be realized with the support of God's people—both in prayer and financial assistance.
James 4 reminds us that we often lack because we fail to ask. So, I'm asking: Will you partner with this ministry? Will you join us on this journey?
