Inspire, Influence, and Impact!

Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes or daily food, and someone say’s to them, “Shalom! Keep warm and eat hearty!” without giving them what they need, what good does that do? Thus, faith by itself, unaccompanied by actions, is dead. James 2:15-17

At 212 Degrees, we exist to inspire individuals to influence those around them to impact the world for Christ. We believe that part of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ and encouraging our fellow believers, involves not only a deep and growing relationship with Jesus Christ, but also a deep conviction to putting that faith into action. We believe that their is great benefit to accomplishing our goals to inspire, influence, and impact through action oriented relationships.

In March of 2011, we will embark on 2 very significant ministry opportunities in 2 very different parts of the world. Amy Mulvihill has put together a team of women who will be going to the northern coast of Haiti to provide training and encouragement to 150 Haitian women through a weekend Woman’s conference with our Haitian partners at Open Door Haiti. During this conference we will seek to encourage these women in their faith, teach them from God’s word, and offer them some very practical and important training in the areas of women’s health, community education, and nutrition. We will be raising $15000.00 in order to cover the cost of the conference for each of the 150 women who will be in attendance. This will cover materials, food, lodging, transportation, and even a fun day that they will spend together outside the church. We will seek to inspire thee women to have a greater influence on their families, their villages, and their country, and to be a voice that brings good news to the captives!

Also in March, Scott will be leading a team back to the country of Nepal. For two weeks Scott and his team will be reaching out to families that we have been investing in, seeking to provide food, education, and even some micro businesses to those who have deep and significant needs. All of this will be done along side the local church as we seek to bring the love of God into their lives, their homes, and their communities. Our work with these families have resulted in several coming to church for the very first time, meeting with Pastor Raj Kumar on a regular basis, and asking profound questions that we hope will lead them into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Both Haiti and Nepal are spiritually dark places and we covet your prayers as together we live out of mission to inspire, influence and impact our world through our trust and faith in Jesus Christ accompanied by actions that are motivated by the love that He has for us. Thanks so much for being a part of this ministry, for your prayers, for your support, and for inspiring me to live out the mission!

Lead well,
