TGIM – Mission Monday at Disney’s Fort Wilderness & Wilderness Lodge
Today, the Lord led my family and I to one of our favorite corners of the earth, where we are called to fulfill the great commission to advance the gospel and share the good news about the life, death and resurrection of Yeshua, the Christ.
I believe picture are indeed worth a thousand words, here are a few snapshots for you to ponder over… Enjoy!
We started our Mission Monday at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, where we boarded a monorail and rode “freestyle” all the way to the Contemporary Resort. From the Contemporary, we boarded a shuttle boat which took us to Fort Wilderness…
At Fort Wilderness, Trinity prospected for rare gems then, along with her sisters Faith and Grace, ran themselves silly on freshly cut grass while I planted Christian tracts, this week fake $50 bills for Disney guests and cast members to stumble upon. The word of God never returns void!
While at Fort Wilderness, we visited the Tri-Circle-D Ranch & Farm where the girls were awed by the giant horses, and got to pet a pony. We were blessed to fellowship with a believer at the ranch, where Christians are typically few and far in between.
Then, it was on to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, where we all cooled off, soaking our feet in a cool Disney stream. At one of our favorite spots on Disney property, the girls and I played a serious game of splash daddy. After I had cooled down, I was led to spell Jesus’ name in stones for countless of guests and cast members to wonder upon.
Before calling it a day, I logged on to answer a few emails by the cozy fire, and called Cici’s to order our delicious $4 cheese pizza which we love to eat on the road back home. The perfect mission Monday, made possible by the mighty hand of God, and sponsored by Thrive Through Christ ministries, our non-denominational home based fellowship.
Hi! Even though I’m an atheist, I really enjoyed your post, and blog. I read this reddit rant http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/18toba/my_friend_received_this_a_couple_days_ago_as_a/ about fake bills then being curious as to why someone would describe your blog post as disgusting, landed on your site where I found a normal guy doing things I admire. I admire how you involve your family in your trips to Disneyworld, and use those opportunities to preach to an unsuspecting audience. To me, that takes guts! I really like the way you used stones to spell Jesus’ name in the stream, that was clever. I’m glad I was led to your blog, and admit I never pictured Christians quite the way you and your family come across, as genuine, imperfect people who seem to know something most of us don’t…. Food for thought.
Allan, thanks for your comment. Indeed, we are all imperfect, as all sin and fall short of God’s glory. I’m sorry that I will not be reading the reddit rant you shared as I have no interest in filling my mind and soul with hatred, rather I seek the magnificence, joy, wisdom and love of God in His word, in songs of worship, in fellowship and the breaking of bread with like-minded servants. The word teaches us that, as we strive to fulfill our mission to advance the truth about the resurrected Christ, the world will hate the Lord’s disciples. It brings me joy the reddit rant you mentioned is indicative my family and I are doing a good job… :)
I hate you Christian freak!!!! You’re such an idiot to believe anything other than evolution!!! But I do like your pictures; seems you’re good at somethin even though you’re a JESUS JERK!!!
John, wow, what can I say. This is how you invest your time and energy? In spite of the fact you hate me, I am called to love people like you that dwell in misery, and despair. So I do, but only a tiny little bit… ;)
Awesome blog, thanks for sharing Daniel!
