hello I'm Ted Hahs and this is my
vision for 2020
I believe 2020 is gonna be an incredible
watershed year this is the most exciting
time to be alive
pretty much ever especially if you're a
follower of Jesus I am a biblical
Christian I read the Bible and I believe
all of it and when I read the New
Testament
I believe the description of the
followers of Jesus that we see there is
not only available for us today I
believe that it is what followers of
Jesus were designed to be and designed
to do and even take it a step further I
believe that is the standard which the
Holy Spirit is inviting us to measure up
to so what do we want to do I'm honored
that were able to be career missionaries
23 years this is what we've been doing
and we're excited to serve the followers
of Jesus to help them reach the lost
more effectively also to solve big
social problems our nation the world are
facing huge issues the housing crisis
recidivism with our prison systems mass
incarceration the mental health epidemic
the opioid epidemic what's happening on
our schools these are huge problems and
I believe the followers of Jesus can
follow them that's what Jesus wants us
to do and we want to help the body of
Christ reach individuals and solve big
issues so how are we gonna do that two
ways both of them are massive
opportunities intercession and media and
these go together first I want to talk
about media what is happening right now
in the media industry is so exciting it
has been completely disrupted and it's
in the process of being disrupted again
the disruptors are going to be disrupted
this presents a huge opportunity for the
followers of Christ to learn how to use
media to communicate our message more
effectively when we look back now we see
what God did with the Roman Empire he
used the Roman Empire to establish peace
all over the known world both through
the political peace and also the
infrastructure the
built you know we talk about the Roman
roads and we look back now as we say
that was the fullness of time so that
when Pentecost happened in an
unprecedent amount of time the gospel
could go out to the ends of the earth
and literally change the world
we are in the fullness of time again
what is happening with media is changing
everything and I believe it has one
purpose it's designed by God for the
gospel of the kingdom to go out to go to
the ends of the earth and to change the
world one opportunity is media the other
which is the foundation is intercession
and something's got to be transformed in
Silicon Valley terms they call it
disruption
I believe the Lord wants to disrupt us
spiritually and this disruption is going
to be through a deeper revelation of the
power of intercessory prayer for us to
change things we are called to do the
works that Jesus did and even greater
works than these I believe the Lord
wants to take us back to first
principles it's as simple as this he
wants to teach his people to pray more
effectively to lay hold of this
incredible power that's available to us
and intercession is the foundation we
are called to serve the body of Christ
so we're looking forward to partnering
with different organizations to serve
them to help them be more effective
because we're all one body one of the
organizations we're going to be
partnering with is called 40 days of
hope this is a prayer movement across
California it was launched by my friend
Michael Griffith. It's the 40 days of
Lent leading up to Easter so there is a
long history of Christians training
through this time pretty much uh forever
we've been praying for the 40 days
leading up to Easter we want to continue
that it's a call to pray to fast to
worship the Lord to take care of the
poor and to reach out for those 40 days
leading up to Easter amazing things are
happening last year was the first year
it went statewide this year is all of
California Alta Baja California were
partnered with Mexico but in there is at
least 500 pastors who will be involved probably more.
It's growing. Saints are going to be
praying. I am going to be
participating beginning right now. You
can find out more about that 40daysofhope.net
40daysofhope.net - I encourage you to participate
we're also helping them with their media strategy
So here's the offer I want to
make you we are faith driven social
entrepreneurs
that's a cool Silicon Valley way of
saying we're missionaries. The reason
this has worked for so long is because
we have partners who have believed in
what we're doing
pray with us and also support us
financially. This is how you can
partner with us one we want you to pray
with us we are seeking the Lord we are
praying and we want to invite you to
pray we have a need we want you to pray
for us but we also want to pray with you
what is your big need i want to partner
with you let's pray with you we talked
about the mental health epidemic or the
opioid epidemic has that touched you
personally let us know is there a loved
one who's in that place you want to
agree with you for for God to come
through in powerful ways pray with us
too we want to invite you to give there
has been a change we're with a new
mission organization we are now with
strategic indigenous mission SIMissions.org/Hahs
it's right down there we want to invite you to get
behind us. It is God's time for the
nation it's God's time for his body we
are honored to serve Him we want to give
this away but for us to give this away
you've got to partner with us.
Let's do this together all right
