The journey to infinity
by Jarrett Meek, Founder/Pastor/Executive Director
“I love you to the Moon and back, infinity times infinity.” Each of my children heard that phrase as a consistent part of our bedtime routine more times than they could count. Even if the concept of infinity is difficult to grasp, my children knew that it meant my love for them was without limits, that it rippled through space and time without ever reaching an endpoint.
How can ministry impact reach to infinity and beyond? The answer is found in leadership development. Investing in young leaders who will in turn develop others. Like a wave of light emanating from a distant galaxy, the ripple effect of developing young people travels through generations to infinity, reaching times and places never imagined.
A child grows up in our urban neighborhood. She finds a safe place to learn about Jesus. She learns and grows, receives love, encouragement and help in school. She’s invited to serve her community. Mentors invest in her life. As a teenager, she joins an internship where she is challenged to begin leading in new ways. She invests in younger kids. Her peers come to her for advice. Her love for Jesus continues to grow along with her love for her neighborhood and her heart for children and youth growing up in similar circumstances to her own. She overcomes many obstacles to become the first person in her family to go to college. She serves, she loves, she builds. Her children know Jesus and they love others well. She shares her life and life and love for Jesus. She develops others and many “honor her for all that her hands have done. Her works bring praise at the city gate” (Proverbs 31:31). The journey to infinity has begun.
