LEGACY LIVE!



Oh please! It's not a t-shirt, neither do we want it to be a bumper-sticker kind of empty doxology. It's who you are!! It's what you leave behind as you live your life. It's a calling hanging over your head. It's your name tag as God's missionary on campus and beyond.

Yup, that's the only thing that doesn't change. Your status might, your financial success might, but your identity remains ~ MISSIONARY ON SITE. And right now, your site is your campus.

I laugh my head off (that's why I'm the headless one!) when Christian students in campus tell me they want to go on missions. How blind we have become ~ the missionfield we have been sent to, we do not want to acknowledge. Do you know how many failed missionaries we produce at our annual convocations in our campuses?

What do we do? We live our lives well. We touch other lives. We fight for others' rights. We go out of our way for them. We share with them Jesus' love and sacrifice for them. With every passing day, every week, every semester and every year, ... we leave behind legacies. "Live" in and through our lives.

Come on, this is your missionary news letter. Share your success and share your obstacles. We must challenge each other on. Remember, it is "Legacy Live!"

human nature - it's always easier to say, "i WANT to do this" rather than "the situation right now is this, and i'm going to do a, b, c"...

hehe... let's strive to be DOERs of the WORD, instead of just READERs and SPEAKERs of the WORD...

yet another anonymous ;)

Yes, this year I have a resolution - to be a blessing to others. It's very challenging to leave a legacy. Because a legacy isn't just anything. It's really a real life testimony, something people can remember for a long time.
