I wake up every single morning to the perfect example of mercy and justice and compassion in the person of Jesus Christ, Emmanuel.

The God who, though He was rich, for our sake became poor so that we might be rich in every way: The perfect example of generosity.

Who, though He was righteousness, for our sake became sin, so we could become the righteousness of God: The perfect example of sacrifice.

Who, though was by very nature God, for our sake became obedient even to death on a cross: The perfect example of obedience.

Who laid down His life for me: The perfect example of love.

Yeah, He’s the one. God with us, living in us! And every day I wake up to His loving challenge to meet the needs of the people He has created in His image and loves. The impoverished…the orphan…He is passionate about people like this, you know, so I really can’t help but be passionate too because He’s living in me. In fact, I’m really starting to obsess. I want my life to be a reflection of His and the world to see Him for who He is through me.

I know there are people out there who feel this way – who want to be a tangible, visible demonstration of Christ’s love and reflection of His character. Many are just waiting for the opportunity to be presented. I hear them talk about it, much like I do.

But no one ever left a legacy by talking about what they WANTED to do, or even what they were GOING to do. A legacy is left because you stopped talking and did something. So putting wheels to our words is what the Mercy Justice Compassion Campaign is about.

Our goal is quite simple, actually. 150 children sponsored with Compassion International, $5000 raised to support a village in Ethiopia through Compassion’s “Complementary Intervention Program,” and an additional $5000 raised to help support the adoption of our little boy there in Ethiopia. Sounds simple, right? Absolutely, because there are literally millions of people in the church across this nation who know that this is what Jesus has called them to be about. They just need the opportunity.

This is where you come in to play; here is how you can be a part. The MJC Campaign will consist of a series of concerts for the months of September, October, November and early December. We are willing to travel anywhere, but would like to focus on weeknights in the Midwest (Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Illinois) or basically anything 5-8 hours away from Saint Louis. We need churches and colleges that are passionate about this mission of rescuing children out of poverty in Jesus name to host and promote these concerts.

In these concerts, we will simply focus on the need, the example of Christ to meet the need, and the call we have to follow Christ’s example. Our hope is to not pressure people with statistics or guilt trips, but rather point to Jesus and the gospel as our motivation for generosity, obedience, sacrifice, love and worship.
