Underground, Undercover & Under the Radar!
For years we fought the spiritual war for souls just like most Christians do. We dressed up and went to church faithfully, preached, sang and testified to our hearts content. This was very rewarding in and of itself. Souls were saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost, and to God be all the glory!
However, as we took inventory of the situation, it seemed all we ever got done doing was babysitting, diapering, burping, re-warehousing, and spoiling the so-called "Saints." It was the same few people that caused all the problems and needed all our attention over and over, lest they backslide again and again. It seems you spend so much time on them that all others get neglected and lost by the wayside.
So, we decided to draw back and reinforce. The Lord dealt with us to change our tactics to reach the lost, even as if we were in a real warfare. He showed us that our vision was too small, our God was too weak, and our tactics were too predictable and ineffective. We needed to go underground, undercover and under the radar to really get things done!
Since then, we have been operating ministries that are controversial to the average Christian. The natural eye can not see what God is doing. Even as the Jews would never have understood what Mordecai was doing by giving Esther to the wicked king. He used an underground tactic and told Esther to not tell anyone she was a Jew, but to keep it undercover, until the right time arose. They stayed under the radar, and in the long run, God used Esther to bring many souls to Him and save her people from extinction.
Nor would people have understood why Moses' mother put him in a basket in the river where he could have drowned, starved or been eaten by crocodiles. But she did not care what anyone thought. It was desperate times, and he was likely to die anyway, so she launched an "underground, undercover, and under the radar" operation. Moses was retrieved and raised as a king's son, but hid his true mission to deliver the Jews until the perfect time. His mom went undercover as his babysitter and as we all know now in hindsight, God worked everything out for good in the end. If they had not operated undercover, then Moses would probably have been killed just like all the other Jewish sons at that time.
So, explains our reasoning for an online ministry that tells the truth about salvation and the Lord's second coming. It is not popular to preach post trib in this shallow age of Christianity, and most churches will not let anyone teach it. In fact, they will attack you if you even mention it. But the possibilities are limitless online. We can reach more people with an online ministry in one day, than a missionary can reach in years. Yet, there are those who preach against Internet.
Regardless, we had to go undercover and underground by taking the truth to the world by Internet. This keeps us under the enemies' radar, and they can not stop us online. God is so wise and all powerful. He will make a way!
Our daughter is a model/actress and reaches a whole generation of body-concious, beauty-obsessed individuals that we could never reach. Our son and future son-in-law are Computer Science Programmers, and are reaching out to the higher echelon of society, and even down to the nerdy gamers, etc...
God has people in all walks of life that are doing what they can to let their light shine in their corner of the darkness. And where the darkness is the darkest is where the light shines the brightest.
Church is great and everyone needs fellowship and inspiration, but when God's house is full and His fields are empty, then there is a great void and lack of vision. Go into all the world and preach His Gospel. But go undercover, underground, and under the radar and you will reach many more souls for God in these last days.
