Cowards Need Not Apply

UPDATE:  WE ARE IN SERIOUS NEED OF SOME FUNDING.  WHILE THE CHURCH ITSELF HAS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF FINANCIAL THINGS (WE RUN LEAN) THE PASTOR AND HIS FAMILY NEED TO BE ABLE TO EAT AND PAY THEIR BILLS.  PLEASE GO TO THE WEBSITE AND MAKE A DONATION TODAY IF POSSIBLE AND PRAY, PRAY, PRAY FOR OTHERS TO DO THE SAME.
I'm looking for some missionaries who aren't afraid to love with the love of Christ.  This mission field is dangerous.  You may get dirty.  You may find your heart bleeding for those who need Him.  You probably will lose your head-it happens!  I know you will lose your heart!  The language is sometimes difficult to understand for the uninitiated.  You'll be on call 24/7 and yes you will be called.  You can't hold back and you can't fake it.  The natives can sense fear and they are very discerning when it comes to those who aren't being genuine. You'll have to participate in some of the tribal rituals and gatherings which are sometimes going to be outside your comfort zone.

Here are the qualifications:

Must be able to love unconditionally as Jesus has loved you

Must be passionate about loving and serving Christ

Must be able to allow Christ to change the hearts and habits at His pace (you are only a facilitator)

Must be willing to go where they are

Must be able to admit your own failures

Must be transparent

Must be a sinner saved by grace

Must be able to listen more than talk

Must be able to hug really well

Must be able to look past any and all outward appearances and see the beauty within

Must be able to forgive

You can handle messy love

Must not easily get your feelings hurt

Need to have nerves of steel

You aren't easily shocked

Need to exhibit the fruit of the spirit: love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control

Need to love God's word and be able to reference it in conversations

Need to be able to appreciate that not everyone is in the same place spiritually as you

Need to be able to give more than receive

Need to be able to not come with a consumer attitude (it's not about you)

Need to be able to lovingly confront without being judgmental 

Need to be able to boldly go where no man has gone before (ha)

It's not necessary to:

Know six-sylable words to explain the scriptures

Have all the answers

Have your act together

Say Thee and Thou when you pray

Be old or young

Be cool like me

About the mission:

This mission is located not more than 15 minutes from anywhere in Little Rock

The tribal gatherings can occur any time during the week with the main one on Sunday nights so it won't interfere with other gatherings you may have

The natives are primarily in their twenties-many are Christ-followers and many are not

You don't have to be in your twenties or be old either-all ages are needed

There is a harvest waiting right here in our city.  it's waiting on us.  Are you up for it? You don't need a passport.  Some funding would be greatly appreciated.  Prayer is the best thing.  

If you haven't felt needed in a long time and you think you have what it takes message me.  I'll send you the application.

Cowards need not apply.
