intro from (one of) us

Hey everyone! well, you've found our website, Operation Mustard Seed. yes, this is our website because there are two authors to this blog. i'm one of the authors and co-designer of this (seemingly) insane operation. my brother may not be posting for a little bit (i haven't sent him the info on how to log into this blog yet haha...) but he and i are on equal ground here. for the sake of time though, let me explain to you the rough sketch of what this operation is all about...

Operation Mustard Seed (or OMS for short...cuz it's a really long name to type over and over again...) is a dream. a BIG dream, that my brother and i have come up with. our dream is to send 1 billion Bibles to the persecuted church starting on January 1st, 2008 and ending on December 31st, 2008.

*sighs* no, i did not mis-type...i am a writer so i check my work frequently...YES!!! i typed that correctly!!! 1 BILLION BIBLES...

but that's crazy you might be thinking....that's absolutely insane! there is NO way two people can get 1 billion Bibles to the persecuted church...it's just not possible!...

and guess what? you're 100% right! it ISN'T possible...my brother and i are two people who want to send 1 billion Bibles at $4 per Bible to the persecuted church in the course of 1 year. it's absolutely impossible. which is where the name "Mustard Seed" comes into focus...

Passage Matthew 17:20 (NLT):
20 “You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.

Aha! Did you catch that last line? here, lemme retype it so that you understand it clearly...

NOTHING WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE

(i'd type it bigger but it doesn't get any bigger....)

this is something that will only get done with God as our driving force. Matthew 17:20 is our driving verse but God is, without question, our driving force. we're crossing every boundary you can think of....for this entire operation, my brother and i are just a couple of non-dom Christians a.k.a. non-denominational Christians because personally, i have yet to see any way that denominations have helped further the Kingdom of God....(but that's just my opinion...)

ANYWAYS...

so yes, that is our absolutely insane, absolutely impossible plan....we both know that it can work and it WILL work because we both know that God is more than capeable of making this work.....

we're not pastors....we're not Bible scholars...we haven't been Christians for years and years and years....we're just a brother and sister (in Christ) and we know the power of God....

so that is my intro...i have a habit of not being able to write short blogs... =) .....but yes....we will be planning this thing out and on January 1st put the whole thing into action.......i guess the real question i've got to ask you is...

you want in?
