The Hangout

The first of many campaigns we look forward to launching in the future begins with the Love Letters Challenge. This is an incredible opportunity to not only put our beliefs into action, but to assemble with brothers and sisters in the faith to plant seeds of love, hope, support, and encouragement around the world. The challenge is to write an anonymous Love Letters and leave them anywhere in plain-sight for someone to pick up, read, and be touched by this act of love. We are simply the messengers of this love and our belief is that God will use these random encounters to personally introduce Himself. The written letters are to be personal – be in prayer about what message you would like to relay; the only requirement is that the notes are first, loving and second, easy to understand. Remember that the reader may have never even heard of Jesus, have misrepresentation of who He is, or have never seen a Bible. In order to be effective, we need to make sure that this love is communicated in a way that everyone can understand and comprehend. The full directions for this challenge can be found on our Facebook Page: The Hangout Movement.

The Love Letters Challenge started as an international campaign and has already reached many countries and cities around the world including London, Oxford, Paris, other cities in France, Kenya, Belgium, Nigeria, Guatemala, Orlando, and New York.

He promised to never leave us nor forsake us and after experiencing this first hand, it is something I will never forget.

After trying to find ways to fulfill my sense of loneliness, like dating different women and playing sports, I had finally reached my breaking point. It began affecting my studies in college, my priorities, and the relationship I was in with Michelle Gomes (Jenkins). I was completely broken. God pursued me, speaking through many people including Michelle, a good friend, and even directly to me in my quiet moments. It was then that I decided to rededicate my life to Christ. Through Him, the feeling of loneliness vanished and the void was filled with His love, His friendship, and His loyalty. He transformed my heart immediately and now I know my complete value in Him and I am no longer lonely. He rescued me from all of my insecurities and made me whole. Becoming a humble man of God brought along my gift -- marrying His daughter Michelle. It also created a passion in me to see others know their true worth in Christ. More than anything, I want to see people live a fulfilling and passionate life through Christ.

I can remember the day I fell in love with Christ and after that, my whole life changed.

Growing up in church, I always believed that I had truly known who God was. I was a “good” Christian – I tried not to sin, I read my Bible, and I prayed almost every day. But something was missing. I never knew how to explain it, but I knew that I was still somehow a mess. It wasn’t until God began to heal me and graciously re-introduced Himself to me as my Dad, that I discovered the void in our relationship. It was love. I hadn’t known God; I knew His law, His anger, and His disapproval, but when I allowed Him to love me all I could think to do was to reciprocate and share this amazing love with others. I am who I am because I am loved by Jesus. My confidence, my laughter, my tears, my gifts and talents, my passions and desires, my everything comes from knowing Jesus. My only desire is that others realize who they are in Christ and how deep His love runs for us. I guarantee it will change your life!

God’s ways and thoughts are completely opposite from mine and that is where my faith is found because I'm always led to trust Him.

Born in a rural town in East Africa, I never would have thought that God would place me in the United States 14 years later. I grew up in Rwanda and as a child I only knew religion, not Jesus. Growing up in the Catholic Church seemed like enough because my entire family was Catholic. It was not until I was about 9 years old, in Sunday school, in Kenya that I experienced the love of Christ and from then on decided to follow Him with all my heart. This is also where I embraced the passion to make Him known in any way I can. I remember waking up at 7am and taking a bus to Sunday school just to experience more of His love. Now that I am in America, I have be given a platform to make His name, His love, and His hope known to those that feel unloved, orphaned, and lost. This hope is what saved me and has now become my purpose in life.

God is real and this I will scream at the top of my lungs.

Three Years. That's how long I went barely uttering a word. As a child I experienced a series of traumatic events. Hardly anything audible came from my mouth. I only communicated by simply nodding yes or no. At the young age of five in Kenya I prayed the boldest prayer I could think of at the time, daring the God that I heard my mom call to all so often to prove He existed. I Prayed, "God if you take my family to America I promise I will talk, I will go to school which I had refused to do at the time, and honor you as God. I didn't even know what America was or where it was, all I knew was that it was a place that offered my family a better life. Well God answered my prayers and proved Himself to be true in my life. It was then that I had boldness in Christ through His love and strength. God gave me the courage to have a voice and to use it proclaiming His name and helping others realize there voice in a world so full of noise and confusion.
