I Want to be a Threat

From Caffeine Injection - June 2010

Recently the staff and students at the North Africa base were discussing the harsh spiritual conditions that they face -- both in their time with Cafe 1040 and in their futures. In a conversation about the way that Satan attacks them, one student spoke up saying:
"I want to be a threat to the enemy. Because if I am not, then I am not doing my job."
Wow. Read that again! What an amazing attitude to have -- coming from a girl in her early twenties with a world of self-serving possibilities in front of her. Yet instead, she is choosing to advance the Kingdom. Even more, she is serving not just as a passive observer of what God is doing, but rather as a confident, self-sacrificing child of God who is passionately pursing His life-changing work.

The really awesome thing is that she is a great example of all of the participants in Cafe 1040. There are approximately 130 young adults like her; some already overseas, some preparing to go, and some here in the US mobilizing other believers. They are a mighty army that God is raising up! Join us in prayer that they will passionately desire to be a threat to the enemy in whatever God has called them to do.
