BATON PASSING

 

More than ever before we need men and women who reach out to younger Jesus followers in order to coach & launch them into a 24/7 life of ministry in Jesus Name.  At KBM we call it, "baton passing".  Check out KBM "baton passing" tips for user friendly help in making that critical connection. 

God's unexpected "Father's Day" gift to me...

I was standing in the doorway of the Kidzworld games room on Father's Day Sunday morning.  I was volunteering in the Children's Ministry that my wife Linda directs.  The kids sometimes call me Mr. Linda (I actually told them to call me that).  I had just finished handing out the "Crazy Cash" for the wild mob to go and spend at the store located at the far end of the games room.  Standing there in my V.I.P. T-Shirt (Very Important Panda)... The theme for our upcoming Kidz Camp is "Pandamania"... not looking very tough... when one of the boys walked up to me and delivered an incredible Father's Day present.  While the other kids were playing he had created the "My Dad" book in the pictures above.     

He is a young boy, 7 or 8 years old.  A wonderful woman from our church adopted him and his sister sometime in the past few years.  He looked straight at me and said, "I don't have a dad, so I wanted to give this to you!"  I was speechless as I received the small handmade book from him.  All I could do was to ask him if I could give him a hug and he accepted.  So, I wrapped my arms around him for a few seconds and then he was off to play. 

You can see that the dad in his picture is frowning.  On the next page which you can't see, it reads "My Dad is" and then there is a blank where the boy had filled in "my friend".  My prayer is that the Lord will use me in his life as a "Jesus following" man who is a true friend to him so that his thoughts of what a father is will change to happy ones and will stir up feelings of gratitude because the Christian men in his life have stepped in to fill the "dad" gap in his life!  

I know that God sent him to me as a wake up call.  In that little exchange was an invitation from The Father asking if I would join Him in being a father to the fatherless. I have tucked his simple little book in my prayer journal to remember to keep him on my heart before God and I don't think I will ever forget this Father's Day gift.  

I should probably post Part 1 of the Maasai Project The Prequel - Haha

 The Epic story begins...

Part 3 of The Maasai Project (Unusual Soldiers) The Crazy Story continues

In 2009, this ordinary young man, Caleb from Nebraska connected with a Maasai brother named Simon to see what God would do if they just walked in simple obedience... check out parts 1 & 2 as well. 

Gathering my "Plan A" Coaching Prayer and Financial Support Team

I am so excited about gathering a support team to work with me in fanning the flames of God's "Plan A" kingdom laborer movement.  Based in Quispamsis, New Brunswick, Canada, I am serving as a "Plan A Coach" with Kingdom Building Ministries   My crucial first step is to create a support team of prayer & financial supporters.

God has called me to invest myself over the next several years in helping high school and young adult students launch into a life of 24/7 ministry regardless of where God places them or into whatever occupation He leads them.  My responsibilities will be; creating online resources, writing for the KBM blog and training teams, local churches and individuals to live "Plan A" lives through KBM's training division called The Laborer's Institute

Is God calling you to join with me in this ministry?  Would you consider serving with me as a Prayer and/or Financial Partner? My goal is to gather 100 partners who will give between $10-$100 on a monthly basis or who will give a one time gift as they feel led.  As this is my full time ministry involvement I am responsible to raise my total annual salary.  I am praying that He will stir up the desire in you to serve in whatever you can to support what He is doing to raise up a generation of young "on fire" kingdom laborers. Here are a few steps you can take:

• Contact me to let me know that you want to join the team in prayer and/or financial support: email: dlamos@kbm.org, phone: 1-506-647-1600 or Dan Lamos Facebook Page
• Make a monthly pledge or a one time gift of $10 - $100 or another amount by clicking the "Online Giving Kingdom Building Ministries" link on the right column of this page, visit  Financial Support  or mail a cheque made payable to "Kingdom Building Ministries" to me at 403 Hampton Road, Quispamsis, NB Canada E2E4V5.

 2011-2012 is going to be an exciting launching year for this ministry and I hope you will be a part of it. Our young adult son, John is currently on "The Experience" with KBM.  You can follow their regular updates at Laborers Institute Blog   Subscribe at the top of this page to receive regular blog updates in your inbox.
Let me know how the Lord is leading you and I would be so glad to hear that you want to be part of this team.  May we live to see more of His kingdom and more active kingdom laborers launch into their destiny in Christ. Can't wait to hear from you!

Grace & Peace,
Dan Lamos
