Reality

I can't do ministry. Marriage or no, my ministry goals will not be reached this year if things do not change.

As always there are several paths in front of us. More partners, more work hours, different jobs, multilevel marketing, the lottery, etc. Some of them seem wiser than others. The two that I see most likely to happen are these:

1. God lays it on the hearts of people, and those people respond with "Yes!" to partnering with my wife and I as we do outreach here so that we can plant churches, disciple new believers and if my ultimate dream is reached start a life center to help people from all ages and all walks of life develop the skills to succeed in their dream jobs as well as open a camp with a ropes course devoted to developing team work and critical thinking skills.

2. I take on 12 hours of extra teaching per week to get us to where we need to be. I can do that. Hard work has never scared me. But what does scare me is not having any extra time or energy to do the things God has put me here to do. If all I am going to do with my life is work 60 hours a week as a wage earner, then me being in Thailand is a waste of time. I can move back to America and get a job working the same hours, for more return. 

That being said, I know I am here for a purpose. And that purpose is to do discipleship and build genuine relationships with friends and disciple others in how to walk as Jesus did. Jesus said not to worry about tomorrow, because today has enough troubles. Since this past weekend, I have bought one meal for myself because I have no money left. But God is faithful to me and provides for me through friends and my girlfriend's family and they don't even know it. Either of the above paths I above that I take, I will be provided for by the Father, and I will be working my tail off. I like hard work. So I am content.

So I'm asking each person who reads this. Are you going to partner with me? Option 2, I do it alone, just me my God and my wife. Option 1 I walk forward hand in hand with each brother and sister in Christ and as a body we can do like Jude said, and snatch people from the flames of hell. We can do our part in the final commandment of Jesus and make disciples of all nations. But we have to do it. I can't do it as just Zac Whertvine alone. Not even Zac & Anne Whertvine. We need a community of believers around us who will support, pray for, and encourage us as well as keep us accountable.

So will you join with me in seeing the Kingdom grow here on NCU campus and in Hang Dong and through out Thailand?

If you will, my email is zacwhertvine@gmail.com

Thank you

PS - tomorrow I  am going to Immigration to find out if there is any way to avoid having to go to Laos, but if not, I will have to go to Laos early next week as my current visa will expire on the 7th. PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS!!!
