I receive a text from Justin Mayo in Los Angeles explaining to me 400 people need housing. We then go on to discuss Invisible Children which leads me to doing my own homework on their organization. My mind was racing, my heart began to beat faster…. was I actually taking part in something special?

In an instant, this simple text message went from odd to opportunity. I thought to myself, “why me?” and then i dismissed it and said “why not me?’ I instantly sent out an email to my dad Robb Thomson explaining to him this unique opportunity… to my surprise… HE JUMPED ON IT. The past 12 hours I have scoured the internet digesting all I can concerning Invisible Children and possibly hosting their team at Family Harvest Church in Tinley Park, IL.

I got ahead of myself here…. This organization began an “abduction” initiative starting in Los Angeles, California to raise awareness for children in Africa abducted by Joseph Kony. This man Joseph Kony resides in Northern Uganda and is responsible for abducting over 20,000 children and putting them into his army. Most of these children will never see their families again.

Which leads us to NOW… The Invisible Children team has been rescued by Oprah this morning in Chicago and will be in the audience for today’s show. We now wait and see if we can aid this group of nearly 500 strong which is building momentum in our church. Serving another, rooting another on is the simplistic nature of Jesus…. Maybe your church needs momentum like this?
