I started hearing about the I am second movement on twitter. Didn't really look into it or understand it. It wasn't until I signed up and joined E3 Ministries that I found out that they are the ones who created IAS. We will be using the IAS curriculum to help witness to the Vietnamese in Sept. I have not heard how exactly, as E3 usually uses the Evangicube to witness.
I also have joined an IAS group at First Baptist Church led by Joey, our Assistant Pastor. We have about 6-8 men who meet every Sunday. We review specific sets of scripture and ask questions about it so we can grow in understanding what is truly being said.
So in essence- what is I Am Second? It's a gathering of people who want to put Jesus first in their lives. People who know the freedom found in Christ and want to pass it on to others. Online, you can find short videos of celebrities, sports figures, pop culture individuals, musicians, etc who sit on a white recliner/chair and give their testimony. A book has been written that ties into the online videos and there are shirts and black rubber wrist bands that help proclaim IAS.
I Am Second... Are you??
Donations have started coming in. I'm about 1/4 of the way there. God is in control and is making his presence known daily as I continue to watch the website for donations and receive checks thru the mail. I really need to start praying more for God's providence.
My team here in Greeneville are now starting the I Am Second curriculum that we will be using in North Vietnam. I also have learned that I have to make up to 50 salvation bracelets to give out on site.
I have the support of friends and family, but I still am in desperate need of funding. Especially since the full amount is due August 28th!!
Just pray!!
Well, I never thought I would say this- but I am now a Handgun owner! Proud user of the 2nd Amendment!
After seeing friends and family's handguns and knowing the world we live in... Pam and I agreed that in the interest of protecting our own- it was time to get a handgun.
I started researching types of handguns and prices and decided on the Ruger P95 9mm handgun.
So far I have broken it down and cleaned it twice! Nerve racking at first, but the gun is really easy to clean!
Daniel and I went with a friend from work to a small shooting range in Cherokee National Forest last night. It was only $2 to shoot. I was able to fire about 70 shots down range and it was awesome! Absolutely nothing like firing hot lead at targets! The gun performed perfectly with no jams, the trigger pull was so smooth and the recoil was nothing! Pam wants to shoot it now!
I have signed up for a safety course in August as I plan to obtain my Concealed Carry permit ASAP. Will I carry in public one day? Who knows- probably. I want that option and the ability to exercise my 2nd Amendment right.
I now am hooked on handguns!!
