From 1984-1986, I had the privilege of attending the Navigators Leadership Development Institute in Colorado Springs, Colorado then led by Dr. Stacy Rinehart. We've remained friends over the years and as a family, we now support Stacy who is the Founder of MentorLink International.
In 2007, while serving onboard the Africa Mercy during it's maiden outreach in Monrovia, Liberia, we met Keith Brinkman who has fast become a good friend. Keith serves as the Programs Coordinator for the ship. Part of his ministry includes showing The JESUS Film in the country the ship is currently in.
Last week, I sent an e-mail to Stacy mentioning that Mercy Ships shows The JESUS Film. He responded with an amazing offer - MentorLink has freely offered the ship a mentoring tool called Forty Days With Jesus that crew can use to disciple those who come to know Christ through watching The JESUS Film.
Imagine - you're one of the poorest of the poor in West Africa. You watch a movie called The JESUS Film and then you're offered a free Bible study to go with it that you can get on your cell phone! How can you not say, "Glory!"?
MentorLink has offered to send someone to the ship to provide the training. If you pray, when you read this, pray that these two ministries will be able to connect and that God will work out all of the details so that those who see The JESUS Film though the ship will also be mentored and grow in Christ through Forty Days. Can I hear an "amen!"?
