My Army of 300
Thinking
about and preparing for this mission trip to Igbos in Germany, London and
Ireland, the LORD has put Gideon in my head and heart.
You know, my
life and ministry has been a lot like that of Gideon and his army.
Here I am, a
nobody among millions, minding my own business and working quietly and quite
timidly outside of the spotlight in my own little hovel and Yeshua (Angel of
the LORD) says to me, “The Lord is with
thee, thou mighty man of valour (Judg. 6:12).” Like a person wanting to know if
they are hallucinating, I ask for signs and they are given to me. Then the LORD
reassures, “I will be with thee… (Judg. 6:16).”
I started out as a Free Will Baptist Christian with thousands behind me;
I fit about as good as a square peg in a round hole. I then become a Messianic Jew
with thousands behind me and the LORD tells me, “The people that are with thee
are too many… lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand
hath saved me (Judg. 7:2).”
Then I find myself a Natsari Hebrew and the LORD says once again to me, “The
people are yet too many (Judg. 7:4).” So I separate myself from the “Red Flag”
Natsarim and now I am left with a remnant, with only hundreds behind me.
Then I find my past summer job opportunities I used to help fund my
mission trips unavailable, thus more support cut off and the LORD says to me, “By
the three hundred… will I save you… (Judg. 7:7).”
Most Christian denominations will not support me because I keep the Torah
and will not be influenced by bribery to compromise my stance, beliefs and or
practices just to be some ones poster child or token Jew.
Many Messianic sects will not support for similar reasons.
Donations from denominational organizations usually come with strings.
“That I will
not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any
thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram
rich.” – Gen. 14:23
I have
stripped and sacrificed all the best I know how for uncompromising purity and
truth, despite the seeming “disadvantages” to myself.
Some trust in chariots, and some
in horses: but we will remember the name of the
LORD our God. – Psa. 20:7
I choose to believe
in the Word of the LORD, “By the three hundred men… will I
save you… (Judg. 7:7).”
I said at the start of 2013 that I believe this was our year. Can I get
300 recruits!? If but 300 people would donate $13.33 each, I would have
$3,999.00, just one dollar shy of my goal for this European mission trip to the
Igbos there.
I need approximately:
·
$3000 for airfare and related travel expenses
·
$500 for travelers insurance
·
$500 in emergency funds
While in Germany, London and Ireland my accommodations will be taken care
of by my respective hosts. Any funds
that exceed my current needs I will put towards my next mission trip.
Donations can be made through paypal at my website: http://www.abrahamsdescendants.com/missions-trip-fundraiser.html
