As we began to develop our ideas for global impact for the sake of the gospel, we reached an important conclusion. The particular organization cannot supercede what the goal is. In other words, even if we are unable to work in the AS panorama, the ideas expressed during the course of our campaign cannot die. Why?
The motivation for impacting the culture so that the nations may come to know Christ is what propels this campaign. Yes, there will be meetings to attend, funds to disburse, logistics to be determined. However, we want to make it clear that the driving force behind our campaing is the idea of bringing Christ into the world, in ways that shift our known cultural paradigms.
With all that said, we would like to announce that we have plans of founding a movement of intentional and focused believers, striving to impact the world, named The Isaiah Project. This project would involve forums and planned conversations between the many represented groups at Biola, whether they be in the vocational, cultural, racial, or denominational settings.
The Isaiah Project would exist as a network of believers wanting to influence the culture, and striving to shift the paradigms by which our culture operates. Unity for the sake of vocational and evangelistic missions.
Why is it called The Isaiah Project? The prophetic, often revolutionary voice of Isaiah fell many times on deaf ears. Who will rise up and stand against a culture that determines what is or is not impossible to achieve? Friends, it is time for you and I to be such people.
We are victorious, brothers and sisters, for we have been redeemed. Dream with us. Pray with us. Help us RECAPTURE a culture that is so influenced by apathy. Let us unite, through this school, in becoming a place where the light of the gospel shines to all four corners of the earth. AS can be an agent of change if we only believe.
Blessings to all, including the other hard-working candidates, during the days to come.
