I'm so excited and humbled to be used to start the FIRST CITYWIDE YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY! God spoke to my heart and gave me a vision in 2009 for the young adults in my home city, Tucson, AZ. Churches in Tucson have great programs for Jr. High and High School ministry, but the entire city lacks in outreach or even positive fellowship for young adults. I distinctly remember the challenges I faced before I moved to Tulsa, OK in May of 2005. I remember what it was to have a numb heart, to feel like scars were the only bond holding my broken heart together. Even when I tried to turn my life around it felt like a hamster wheel, because the same people I partied with also attended church with me. In my mind/heart, there was no evident difference between the world and the church. I had given up hope. Praise God my brother had attended Victory Bible College and changed his life. Through the two toughest years of my life God used him to pray for and encourage me diligently for two years until I gave my heart back to Christ!
Since 2009, I have witnessed a hunger for something real in Tucson. A real hope, love, and encounter with a loving Father, the very things I had lost hope for. IT'S TIME TO RESTORE THAT HOPE! I have committed to fly home the last weekend of every month for 10 months starting in January. January through September I will be coordinating a young adult ministry CITYWIDE for any young adult ages 18-30. My heart is not only to help raise up strong Christian leaders, but also to love and reach the young adults who don't know the Father yet. In October 2014 I will host a young adult conference with the relationships I'm believing will be founded with people and churches we partner with. I'm submitting an application to hold this ministry in the very center of the University of Arizona Campus.
If you are reading this and God touches your heart with compassion for this vision and you want to be involved, there are many ways I can use YOUR HELP!
1) PRAY! I believe prayer is the most powerful weapon we wage warefare with. Please pray for hearts to be softened, provision for our monthly needs, and most importantly, for the city of Tucson to have an Awakening. 2) I'm looking for people who will be willing to travel with me any one of the ten months and help volunteer with the monthly events or the conference in October. 3) Financially, I've estimated that the conference and basic needs for the ministry will total approximately $8,000. The link for donations will be active until October 31st, 2014. Thank you for your seed! You're sowing into someone's eternal salvation! You have no idea how far your seed will reach!
Thank you for taking the time to support this vision.
Much Love,
Justin Cody
