Wow! What a journey the last 11 months have been! Around the beginning of November of 2009, along with some friends, I started launching a new non-profit organization called The Sending Project (TSP). TSP's mission is to unite the Church to eliminate physical and spiritual poverty in the world. It has been a fantastic season of pioneering this work, and I've had the privilege of meeting many wonderful people along the way. Now, we actually have functioning teams, 9 churches that have joined TSP Alliance, and we're facilitating our first conference later this month. God has been orchestrating some amazing things along the way! Can't wait to see what the next 11 months have in store!
In April, I launched two businesses. Never started a business before, but have wanted to. Allow me to introduce you to Green Kite Travel (also doing business as Eric's Travel Club) and MediaBoiler. Green Kite Travel is a comprehensive travel agency that specializes in group travel organizing for church groups including mission trips, while Eric's Travel Club is more focused on group leisure travel. MediaBoiler is a media company that provides high quality media for churches and non-profits at reduced rates. Both are brand new, and I hope both of them will help cover part of my cost of living, enabling me flexibility of schedule to provide leadership for TSP. Stay tuned for more updates about all three of these ventures in the near future!
