Each week I get 60 seconds to promote Mission Resource\u2019s work to businessmen and women at the local Business Network International chapter meeting. I always use this as my tagline: \u201cMission Resource \u2013 where we put your charitable dollars to work!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
I figure that if anyone values hard work, it is this group of 20 entrepreneurs. I always want to assure them that donations to Mission Resource bless some of the hardest working people on this planet.<\/p>\n\n\n
It has been two years since I first visited Ghana to see our staff and clients in action. I remember being struck by the diligence, energy, and dedication of these brothers and sisters – and feeling a growing pride in being a part of a ministry providing the raw materials necessary for their work. All in Jesus\u2019 name.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
It is quite miraculous to witness: When Mission Resource puts a loan in their hard-working hands, they use it to create wealth. At the end of a year\u2019s span, the money is repaid to the loan fund \u2026 but now there is a sewing machine, a boat, or a shop sitting where there was nothing before. And that miracle brings untold blessing to our clients, their families, their communities, and their churches.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
That miracle has three simple but necessary ingredients: 1) God\u2019s blessing, 2) our staff and clients\u2019 hard work, and 3) the generosity of believers here in the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
I consider it a privilege to be involved weekly in promoting #3.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
For about 10 days come mid-November, I will once again get to witness firsthand the miracle in its fullness as all three ingredients are combined there in Ghana. I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
