What is People of Purpose?

This blog was created for the sole purpose to encourage and motivate people to know that God has a plan and purpose for every individual on this earth, as they seek God's will through Jesus Christ. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the Plans I have for you says the Lord".

Our hope is all who read this blog would be inspired and empowered to know that God has made you uniquely you for a reason and purpose and as you read these interviews you will be motivated to make an impact on others lives also.

We will have interviews from people who are using their gifts, talents and abilities along with life experiences to make an impact in their own community and abroad. Some will be using their voices, athletic abilities, writing, community work, evangelism and service for God's glory to minister and make an impact one person at a time. Check back every month and sign up for our monthly newsletter to read the new monthly interviews posted here.

May Issue - People of Purpose Introduction


People of Purpose
People Making an Impact!


I am very excited to share that next month; the last week of June I will be submitting my first "People of Purpose" interview. It will be posted the last Sunday of every month with interviews from people who are making an impact in their community and abroad by fulfilling their God given purpose in Jesus name.

These interviews will be coming from people who are involved in a community ministry, organization or foundation who are definitely touching the lives of others using their gifts, talents and abilities to impact,others to live the abundant life that God has planned for them.

Some of these interviews will be coming from people who are using their athletic abilities, their voices, writing, teaching, mentoring and discipleship to fill a need and be used by God to make a difference one person at a time.

The main purpose for the "People of Purpose" segment is to stir up and motivate others to know that God has a plan and purpose for each person on this earth and as they turn to Christ and allow Christ to work in them and through them He is able to use them to make an impact on another person's life.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." NKJV

Notice that this passage says the plans He has for you and not our plans. In other words God has a plan for you and that plan is to bless you, give you a future and a hope. God's ultimate plan is that we would glorify Him and love Him forever and as we fulfill our purpose here on earth He is glorified, because He created us uniquely for that very reason.

I want to encourage you that God has a plan and purpose for your life. If you don't know Jesus, please ask Him to come into your heart, confess your sins and ask Him to take over your life and He is faithful and will do it. It was 22 years ago that I made this same choice and it was the best decision I have ever made. Christ Himself dwells in my heart and has given me a new life and a new purpose and now I live for Him.

I hope that you are encouraged to know that Jesus loves you and has a plan and a purpose for your life. Please keep a look out for our first interview in June from Pastor and Coach, Raymond Toilolo who runs Gridiron Ministries and find out more about how his ministry reaches out to many kids in the community and abroad. I gaurantee you will be encouraged!
