I sit on my couch and look out the window. That says everything. God designed the heart of a boy to be adventurous, take risks, climb trees, fight creatures, and more. If you give a boy a stick, he’ll act like a soldier warrior man. Yet, when the life and the world needs these men to be stable and strong, they are docile, domesticated and sitting on a couch watching reruns. God wants to call each of us and specifically today, God wants Adventurous Fathers for Christ.

Are we willing to GO? Are we willing to SEND?
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
