My Favorite Place On Earth !!

I have been extremely blessed to have been raised in a Christian family and have wonderful examples of people who love the Lord with all their heart but somehow something was missing from my life and I couldn't figure out what it was. I have been a Christian since I was 7 years old, but through my pursuit of business and success, I somehow had replaced seeking the Lord with pursuing stuff and success.

Then something happened last year that changed my life, I stood in a city dump in Santiago, Dominican Republic. I saw men, women, and children who were living in a dump where they scoured for food and shelter, humbled by the reality of parents raising their kids in a dump, I reached my breaking point when I saw a woman 8 months pregnant walk by me looking for food. I couldn't decide which was worse, the fact that the baby was conceived in the dump or that it was going to be born there. In the middle of this scene God asked me, “What are you going to do with what I have given you? How are you going to use your influence, your leadership and your resources in the world around you?” For the first time I realized that God had a purpose for my life that was greater than the pursuit of the next and bigger thing, so I decided to walk away from the American dream.

G.O. Ministries provides clean water in communities where thousands are dying every day of preventable water born diseases. God is committed to provide abundant resources in support of those who are living according to His purpose. I just want to tell as many people about the Gospel as I can.

After spending a week around precious children who eat a small cup of rice a day, the question I have come back home asking God is “Why He has blessed me, when others have so little?” And this is what God has shown me, “I have blessed you for my glory, not so you will have a comfortable life with a big house and a nice car, not so you can spend lots of money on vacations, education, or clothing. But I have blessed you so that the nations will know me and see my glory.

All my life I have completely disconnected God’s blessings from God’s purpose and now I realize what I had never seen, God has blessed me to show his love to the Dominicans. God has blessed me to show his mercy and grace to children in the Dominican Republic. That is why God has given me income and education and resources. God saves me so that the nations will know Him. He blesses me so that all the earth will see His glory.
