The LordsMessage Story

Two years ago LordsMessage.com was a dream. A nameless dream.
We wanted to start a project that involved the community and gave back to the community. A purpose that was bigger than ourselves. A single testimony got it all started. It was the inspiring story of a teenager who ramped himself up on drugs and alcohol to prepare himself for suicide. One divine moment, an intervention that saved his life, and a story that has the power to save others. Instantly we knew exactly how important it was for people like you, and us, and this teenager to get our stories out there. It was like we'd received a message from the Lord. We realized that we had little "know how" to build and launch such a website. It was totally in God's hands, and He provided. One minor hurdle to overcome first - Money. We pitched the idea to a businessman initially over the phone but he was not interested. Over a month later he called us back. As if we'd not had the first conversation he asked if we had any projects going that would require an investor. We pitched the same idea again to him and he wanted to meet. We sat there with him in a downtown coffee shop and described the website to his blank confused face. We pushed that testimonial in front of him and asked him to read it. When he finished he took off his glasses and looked up at us, his mouth half open. His exact words; "This is going to save lives. How much do you need?" And that was it. We started building LordsMessage.com. It is clear to us now, that at that moment when he finished reading the testimonial, God was in that room with us and wherever that testimonial went God went with it as well. After reading testimony after testimony, of varying length, impact and emotion, we honestly believe without a slither of doubt that each story is a miracle of God and wherever they are shared, God is present. You're stories are a gift from God no matter how they compare to anyone else's! They are testaments to the presence of God and His love for us. And that is the message! While the Bible is our blueprints for life, our testimonies are our purpose for being. They glorify God. If someone asks you "why are you a Christian?", you tell them your testimony. If someone asks you "but how do you know God is real?", you tell them your testimony. And if someone asks you "why should I become a Christian?", you tell them your testimony. Our Mission is to provide a website for people to unite from all over the world to spread the Message. Our Vision is that LordsMessage.com will become the greatest collaboration of testimonies anywhere in the world. A website that shares the glory of God's miraculous work within us all. A place where people can be inspired to overcome adversity. A place where every church of every Christian denomination can unite with one purpose. A website of Faith, Hope and Love. The Name as presumptuous as it may sound was chosen because we believe that we all have a message to share of God's great love. Each of us sharing our own stories together in one place becomes a powerful and inspirational message of unity and faith. |
I have been enjoying the website so far and wanted to tell you that this story of how you were inspired to create the LordsMessage touched me deeply. Bless You for all you do for the Lord and His followers. Take care, Karen
