Youth Venture Knows When to Start Social Entrepreneurship

youthventure I talked with the mid-Atlantic director of Youth Venture, Sarah Soloman, the other week and discovered what an awesome concept this organization is. Part of the Ashoka umbrella of organizations its mission is to offer startup support for young people who want to solve social problems in their community. Youth Venture embodies the simple wisdom that if people get used to taking initiative on these issues when they are in their teens then they are far more likely to carry that initiative into adulthood.

Bethel is even cooler than expected

Within 90 minutes of landing in Redding, I learned of Bethel students engaged in business solutions to extreme poverty. Monday I heard a powerful teaching from Bill Johnson on how life on Earth offers us the only chance to worship God in the midst of our pain, suffering, loss, and confusion. When we are in heaven we won't have the chance to give God that gift. Bill's teaching reaffirmed this ongoing theme that suffering matters. Suffering creeps me out but I can not deny that suffering somehow leads to intimacy with Christ. Monday night gave me a few a hours to meet a great house church where blue collar types mingled with Bethel alum. Prophecy and healing flowed amidst their faith and love. God gave me a chance to pray for healing for one of the guys. This tested my faith when his knee actually got a little worse in the first couple of minutes of prayer. That hurt my pride. Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely. V...

A few things I've learned at Bethel.

After being here for a whole two months I realized it was time log everything I learned about while soaking in the Bethel community. Each of these could probably be a book. But I wanted to at least make them available online. Bethel has ties to Heroes of the Nation, a pro-microenterprise orphanage in Kenya. You need to worship God in the deepest part of your valley, the dark moments of pain, loss, confusion. You will not get to give God that gift when you are in Heaven. -Bill Johnson in the civic center in redding. David was really bad at confronting his own children and family. He overreacted to how he felt confronted by his spiritual authority. You don’t make good, Godly decisions by reacting to evil. You make them by pursuing God. The constitution of your community is more important than the fervency of your prayers. Matt 18:15. - Lou Engle during the OneThing conference. We must have air supremacy over the Enemy through extended fasting. - L...
