The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; Psalm 37:23
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will councel you with my loving eye on you.” -Psalm 32:8
As one seasons door comes to a close another door opens, the journey continues, and the story unfolds.
In September of 2016 I will be moving down to Gainesville, GA to be a part of The Center for Global Action(CGA). The CGA is a discipleship program designed and organized by Adventures in Missions(AIM), the same organization that organized The World Race.
The Center for Global Action (CGA) is a launching pad dedicated to the holistic development of participants during an intentional season of growth – each apprentice’s future, uniquely designed by God. We achieve this development through community, discipleship and apprenticeship;
Community. Community is learned through experience and action. In the CGA, apprentices live in a community house with other participants, and learn how community is developed by doing community and serving together. Many foundational principles experienced on the World Race are put into practice as apprentices live out these lessons daily.
Apprenticeship. CGA apprentices serve in their specified area of interest, earning hands-on experience in their field. Apprentices serve in a department that is the best match between their strengths and available positions at Adventures. While serving, they are able to experience what kingdom living looks like in a work setting while developing skills and standards of excellence and integrity in the workplace.
Discipleship. The goal of the CGA is to help apprentices discover their identity and call in the kingdom of God. Apprentices participate in courses led by facilitators and guest speakers. Apprentices are expected to put these lessons into application during their morning apprenticeship and community living. It’s through this tangible process that apprentices are developed spiritually, socially, and professionally.
“We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.”
So why am I doing CGA?
After experiencing Gods love for every people from nation to nation, so many dreams, passions, and visions have birthed within me in being apart of the unreached people’s in America and around the world who have yet to experience Gods love and hear the message of Gospel Of Jeus Christ. CGA is a launching pad to invest in these things God has revealed to my heart. This life is not my own And I am careful to continue to walk in obedience aligning my steps with Gods will. God made us and packed us on purpose for His purpose. I am eager and excited to unpack what God has distributed. This next season will serve as a time to develop, sharpen, shape, and grow deeper into these God birthed passions in a community who is dedicated to bring glory to God, extending His eternal and everlasting Kingdom in every nation, tribe, and tongue. I am confident that this step is equipping me further to live out the Great Comission more effectively and passionately as God leads me step by step to my life’s work.
This program is fundraised based. In order to do a semester which is 8 months,with center for global action, I need $ 8,000.
