In Tim Tebow’s autobiography, “Through My Eyes,”For as long as I can remember, this was instilled in me: to have fun, love Jesus and others, and tell them about Him.” If you have given Tebow a moment of your attention you will see that he is living up to these principles in his life. He is having a blast and pointing people to Jesus on and off the field.

You do not have to be a Broncos fan to be a Tebow fan nor would you have to be a follower of Jesus to appreciate Tim Tebow’s work ethic. His contribution as starting quarterback cannot be argued. His dedication to Jesus may not be cared for by some but He is consistent.

For example, former Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer told KGME-AM in Phoenix this week: “I think he’s a winner and I respect that about him. I think that when he accepts the fact that we know that he loves Jesus Christ, then I think I’ll like him a little better. I don’t hate him because of that. I just would rather not have to hear that every time he takes a good snap or makes a good hand-off.”

To which Tebow replies, “a man needn’t express his love for his wife only on their wedding day, but all the time. That’s the way he feels about his relationship with his Lord…That’s the thing about my faith: It’s not just something that happens when you’re at church or happens when you’re praying or reading the Scripture. It’s a part of who you are, as a person, as a player, in your life and everything, and it should be who you are because you’re not just a Christian or a believer at church. That’s who you are everywhere and it shouldn’t matter what situation or what setting you are in. Hopefully, you’re the same guy everywhere.”

There are many books, articles, and websites that can tell you more about the the person, player, and passion of Tim Tebow. I would like to draw your attention to something that is common to all of us. You and I are may not (and I mean by that are not) be NFL football players. We may not have daily tv interviews. We may not have people buying our autobiographies but we do have influence.

Our influence may come in various doses but never the less all of us have some measure of it. How are you using the platform of your God given influence that is given to you? Could it be said of you that people hear of Jesus in the dynamic equivalent of you every “snap and hand off”?

Tim Tebow has given his life over to Jesus which means that in every situation He is looking to draw attention to our Him. Think about this tomorrow when there is a lull in conversation in the break room, when you have the opportunity to respond to the boss in front of your colleagues, and when you have a choose to make an easy choice and the right choice.

All of us have different platforms. Some seat higher than others with a larger audience but all of them as Christians should be given to Christ to use for His glory.

Moha’s Story

Moha lives in Qsar Moui, a red mud-brick village of only 3,000 people lying in a picturesque green valley watered by a lone natural spring and surrounded by brown desert peaks close to the border of Algeria and Morocco. Everyone speaks a native dialect of Berber called Tamazighet. Most have learned Arabic at least in the Moroccan dialect. There are four mosques in Moha’s town and no churches. In fact, there are no Christians at all within a two-hour drive that we know of…except Moha.

Moha heard of Christ in 1994 through short wave radio. He accepted Christ over ten years ago and has received many threats for his faith. He has been praying that God would send someone to help him convince his wife, ten children, and many grandchildren of Christ. Through the Voice of the Villages project we are giving Moha the tools and knowledge he needs to reach his family and village for Christ.

Would you prayerfully consider helping us in this endeavor? The Voice in the Villages projects really understands the great need on the mission fields and meets a need in a very simple, tangible manner. We are very grateful for their partnership.

I currently serve as the provisional director of Vision Baptist Missions. You can learn more about us at http://visionbaptistmissions.com.

Our Generation Summit 2011 from Christian Ministry Videos on Vimeo.

I am more excited than I have ever been about our upcoming events with Our Generation. Our Generation is a mobilization team I work with to create awareness and bridges for world evangelism. You can read bios on some of the men I work at at www.bcwe.org.

For the Sake of His Name will be the theme for all the Our Generation Events in our 2011 season. This is a theme that is very dear to the hearts of all us on the Our Generation Team. We believe as you hear stories from the past and present about young men and young ladies going “for the sake of His Name” you will be motivated to help those going in the future go for the same purpose. You can learn more about the story that inspired this theme by reading about the lives of John Leonard Dober and David Nitschman.

Spring Break 2010 for the Vision Baptist Church

“There is too much to do to be bored!” That is my message to the teenagers for this Spring Break. We don’t want to them to sleep their spring break away – we want them to serve them away! Next week, during Spring Break, our church will be having a Children’s Crusade. I am so excited about how our teenagers will be able to be highly involved in this campaign.

We are calling our Spring Break campaign called “me no bored”. Poor grammar but a great plan. That is our response to people asking us if we are bored.. “me no bored”. There is too much to do to be bored!

Many of the students filled out a questionnaire before they left the camp, so here are some of their answers to the questions & testimonies showing what the students themselves thought about the camp (without their names given). I would like for to consider bringing a group next year. If you are not already on our e-mailing list please let me know.

“Every experience went toward showing me my responsibility in spreading the gospel to the lost?”

The mission trips were “Practical experiences which helped to open my eyes to the need of those around the world and here in America.”

“The Camp has helped me to realize God’s hand in my life and to serve Him wherever He leads.”

“Thank you so much for providing this camp!”

“God really opened my eyes to see lost souls and realizing these people are on their way to a literal hell.”

“God called me to the mission field!”

The Missions Trips “opened my eyes to how blind the world has become.”

I enjoyed the “interaction with missionaries from around the world and with worshippers of different religions.”

It was convicting to “see how great of a need there is for God’s truth in the world and how little I do.”

“The preaching was absolutely amazing.”

“Every single message was convicting to me.”

“We as men need to stand in the Gap…we need to stop playing with pacifiers.”

It was convicting “seeing all the people worshipping false gods; talking to the Nepalese family in Clarkston but not knowing enough of their language to share the Gospel with them; all the preaching and workshops.”

“I really enjoyed the preaching and music.”

I enjoyed “being able to talk with missionaries & pastors about what God was doing in my life.”

Would you come back and recommend this camp to your friends? “Most Definitely”

I enjoyed “the emphasis on missions, the preaching – getting to see the various temples and mosques.”

“It was awesome to see those places because it makes all the stories you hear about so real, and shows how blessed we are to know the truth.”

These testimonies represent students from all different parts of the United States that attended the 2009 Our Generation Student Leadership Camp. For more Information, please visit: www.ogcamp.info
