Hopes and dreams are beautiful and necessary parts
of life.
A heart filled with hopes and dreams is the fuel for attempt-
ing something great in this life. People who have lost their
hopes and dreams refuse to take risks or aim for greatness.
As young people, you haven’t been beaten and battered like
some of us who are a little older, and so you’re not afraid to
try to do the impossible.
The kingdom of Jesus here on earth needs your hopes and
dreams. We need you to be willing to risk greatly for the
cause of Christ. The hard part is keeping your hopes and
dreams alive once you have experienced grave disappoint-
ment and failure.
32
I burst out of college ready to take over the world for
Christ. As I worked in the trenches of ministry, I discovered
it wasn’t going to be as easy as I thought. Satan did his best to
stop me at every turn. Yet the hopes and dreams that burned
in my heart drove me to attempt to do things that others
thought couldn’t be done.
Over the last 23 years of ministry, we haven’t taken
over the world for Christ, but we have seen countless lives
transformed by the power of Christ. I had no idea how hard
the work would be. I didn’t realize that often people who
called themselves Christian would be our greatest obstacles.
I didn’t know that many would start the journey with Christ
and then abandon Him and us.
