Missionary to Brighton's clubs


« on: January 03, 2008, 09:35:59 PM »

So, I just wanted to throw out another post about my missionary adventures.
Im heading back out to Brighton England to do ministry in the dance clubs there. If you could keep me in your prayers, I need another $450 or so before I can head back out. I'm trying to get out there by March. Please keep me in your prayers, throw my name out to your churches, friends whoever. I'll have another letter out in the next few days for you if you want to send it to your churches and such.
I also have a website coming, a DVD promotional thing and a few other promo things coming out soon. Please send me an email if you have any questions or want any materials for your church.
Alex

Update: So I wanted to also go ahead and put in abit more information about what I do and whatnot. As I have been praying and seeking God on how to reach the dance music community in Brighton, I really felt that the most effective way to go about doing that is to become a part of the community. So I will be going in as a DJ, promoting myself and any other Christian DJs in the UK that want to be a part and hopefully throwing some successful events. I work with Youth with a Mission in Brighton, which is what we call a satellite base of Holmsted Manor (you can google both). I will be building relationships with those in the dance music scene to do relational evangelism and serving the people in the clubs (taking drunk people home, giving out water to rehydrate people, and the like).
Now, there are several different ways to get involved. The first is to commit to prayer for me, for my finances, and for spiritual strength for me. Anyone who has been a part of the secular dance music scene knows the dangers, and they are great. The second is to take my mission to your sphere of friends, church or whoever, the more people know about this, the quicker I can get out there and get to work. The last way is to give financially, either in a 1 time gift to help me get there, or or on a monthly basis to keep me there. Monthly commitments need to be on a 1 or 2 year basis, that way i i know i can count on a certain amount of money until a certain point.

If someone ever charged you with being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

where is the paypal address that we can drop money into it to donate to your cause.  Is the 450 the total amount you need left to make it.  Surely tastyfresh can hook up this club missionary and make it happen quickly.

Alex is a real neat guy, who is passionate about club-goers and their eternal path.  I met him over NYE and hung with him for 3 days.  I think he is a serious young leader for the global dance community.

So yeah help him out with his support.  Now where do we give support to?

Also, please keep my in your prayers over the next 2 weeks. The next 2 weeks are my churches missions Sundays. This means that pretty much the entire church is going to be praying about how God wants them to give. I have my work cut out, I need to get my name out.

Welcome to Tastyfresh, DeBadge. Can I ask you a serious question? Do you always type in slang? I'm not trying to start something, I just don't understand how people can type out phonetically how they would actually say it. If you speak like this in real life, I get it. It helps to define who you want to come across as. Totally understandable. But when you type out HOW you want it to sound to the reader, it makes you look unintelligent and young. I am not saying don't use shortcuts, I am saying try to type like you have some sense. People who post like you do really make it hard for the rest of the class to read what you are trying to say. Do us the favor and type like you want to be understood.

...and no, I'm not always a douche. I'm cranky and irritable because I am stuck in the hospital. Tomorrow, I might look back on my post here and hate myself for being so arrogant. For now, I'm right. LOL

Blessings, dude. (Don't let me get to you.)
