How to be a CAUSE for Thanksgiving

“When you produce much fruit, you are My true disciples. This brings great glory to My Father” (John 15:8)

Did you know that one small act from you could CHANGE someone’s LIFE? When I was a teenager, hard-hearted toward God, a Christian told me he was praying for me and that God had a great plan for my life. I had thought God wanted nothing to do with me, and that man told me it couldn’t be further from the truth. That small seed of hope grew into a tree of faith that completely changed my life. I am so thankful to Mark Coffin for showing me Jesus’ love.

When you show God’s love to someone, you are planting a seed in their life—and the potential is tremendous. Jesus said His kingdom is “like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants” (Mark 4:31,32). Like Mark with me, your small act of kindness could change someone’s eternal destiny. Take a moment to think about someone who needs encouragement and how you could show God’s love to them.

Unimaginable Impact. Now, imagine you were not alone in showing Jesus’ love, but joined with Christians all around the world. It’s the difference between one person planting a fruit tree in their yard and a person on every street doing it. If we all joined together, the world could be full of life.

What if we could link the 1-2 billion Christians to do united acts of God’s love to those around us, everyday? That is the vision behind JET: Jesus, Everywhere, Together. Through Facebook and Twitter (each hotlinks), we will be sending you JET moments. It might be a call to pray for your neighbor, or a prompt to tell someone about Jesus’ love. We will join together all around the world to do them and update each other on our stories. Jesus said to us, “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14). Imagine how much light in the world we can produce if we all band together!

How to be Involved:

Join our Facebook Community: We will post JET moments and you can tell the GodLife community how you have participated and share the moment with others. We will post the exciting stories you share in this newsletter.

Get Informed through Twitter: Stay up-to-date with the latest JET moments by receiving GodLife tweets right to your phone or computer.

Invite your Friends: Know someone who would like to be part of the JET group? Forward this e-mail to them. The goal is to unite the body of Christ. The more people, the more light we produce!

Thank you for joining together to share Jesus’ love with the world. I am so thankful for how Mark changed my life; and I know you can be a cause of thanksgiving for many others too.

We love and care about you. If you have any prayer requests, please reply to this e-mail and we will be glad to pray with you. God loves you so much!

Let’s pray together this week that:
  • We could join together as Jesus’ body and show His love to the world
  • God would give us creative ideas to reach others around us
  • www.GodLife.comhttp: would be a place of refuge and healing for people
