Five weeks ago I launched Project Jubilee with the goal of raising the cost of a rescue mission for the International Justice Mission, an organization that fights human trafficking, slavery, and other forms of violent oppression. I am now pleased to report that we have raised 12% of the goal amount! I say “we” because though this project may have my name on it, I am only one of many who are deciding to pool their resources to do something great. It’s so wonderful to have the help and support of like-minded people.
If I focus on how far there is to go, I become disheartened. If I focus on how far we’ve come, I forget to keep pushing forward. And so I have to do a little of both. I have to celebrate the journey thus far, and at the same time keep pressing forward toward the goal.
