I love people who’re “missions minded.” These types of people are constantly mindful of others instead of themselves. They make constant sacrifices in order to aid the purpose of missions. They live life in with an adventurous approach; putting their faith on the line many times in order to see people lives touched by God.
These types of people are liberal thinkers. No, not the “liberal” that we think of today in the culture of “political correctness.” Actually, it’s the opposite; it’s a liberality that comes from a heart of giving. And that heart of giving is a giving of one’s resources and self for a cause greater than themselves.
We all see many injustices and tragedies in the world but find it difficult to identify with them. It’s because they haven’t manifested in our lives, homes or churches. We hear about them around the world… but that’s just it. Missions minded people are those that care about these situations and desire to do something about it.
I want to highlight a certain person in our church. His name is Elvin Villalobos. He’s one of those “missions minded” type of people. He’s going with me to Peru next month. But what I really love is that he’s using his entrepreneurial aptitude to work his second business that’s solely designed to support his mission’s travels and giving. Now that is passion!
Although I try to pray for and promote all the businesses in our church as much as I can, I really want to blurb this one. It’s a waterless mobile car wash with the potential to franchise. It’s called MOBILE ECO WASH. He’s able to work this business very hard because his other business is properly leveraged and constantly producing for him.
If you live locally and enjoy a clean vehicle, try MOBILE ECO WASH, the profits are geared towards missions– it’s “cleaning with a cause!”
