Aslan's Army Vision

"Jesus said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.  Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." ~Mt. 9:37

Aslan's Army Mission
To support missionaries and their supporting organizations.

The Vision:

• Fund & support qualified missionaries & interns
• Create performing arts training DVD's to help missions and church organizations
• Disciple missionaries through Web and email.  Something that keeps the "fire" of a short-term missions experience alive.
• Partner with missions organizations
• Partner with churches to enhance missions programs
• Link supporters with qualified missionaries

On February 23, 2003, Cindy and I publicly launched Aslan's Army at Jubilee Fellowship Church in Littleton, CO. Cindy and I shared about Malori's accident, how we've dealt with that life-changing event, and how that event has led us to start Aslan's Army. The title of our message is "Eternity or Death," illustrating the choice we have had to make repeatedly in dealing with our situation. Our choice was simple: choose an eternal perspective and move forward or get lost in the "life isn't fair" cycle and retreat in despair.

Today, nothing in our lives is as we planned before the accident. In July 2002, God gave us a vision to start Aslan's Army—to support missionaries. In August 2002, we read Malori's vision statement, which amazingly, matched our vision statement perfectly. You can read Malori's vision statement on the Aslan's Army website

This message starts with a 5-minute introduction by Pastor John Leach and then Cindy and I speak for the next 45 minutes or so. About 15 minutes into the audio presentation, there is an actual video presentation (you'll be able to hear the audio). There is a brief, 30-second spot with no sound. The audience is looking at the following Letter to God written by Malori a few days before she was killed:

Dear Lord,

I realize more everyday how pointless life is without you. Everything I want to do and want to become are things you’ve already done and who You already are.

Jesus, I want to be like you. No matter what my flesh says, I know that complete satisfaction and fulfillment comes from being in your will. God, keep me in Your will.

I want Your plans for my life to come to pass. Give me a willing heart. You know my desire to be better and to grow. Day by day, lead me step after step, drawing closer to Your throne. Thank You for all that you are in my life.

Your Daughter,

Malori


The message was very well received and Jubilee Fellowship Church gave Aslan's Army one of the largest offerings in its history. This money is going towards funding more missionaries.

Where are we going?

Aslan's Army is just beginning it's journey to fulfill its mission.  Right now, we're building our infrastructure as we simultaneously fund missionaries, partner with missionary organizations and build the street evangelism DVD.
