BACK Forrest Fullaunthrop'E!
As a young adult, there were 3 things that I wanted to pursue passionately in life: motherhood, ministry, and missions. That is why when the idea of becoming a massage therapist was presented to me, I knew in a flash, massage was the perfect fit for all 3. As a massage therapist, I would be able to maintain a flexible schedule for children and ministry, and through my massage work, be able to give generously to missions.
As years passed, I understood that motherhood wasn't part of God's plan for me, but children absolutely were! I've been Aunt Kelly most of my life, and "motherhood, ministry, missions" has become "children, cheer, chair'E'teas!" and my many years long pursuit has come together in BACK Forrest Fullaunthrop'E!
BACK is an acronym for
Bless the Bought'tea! (the Bought'tea! is the purchased people of GOD, bought with a price, from every tribe, tongue, and nation, our "Bought'tea" is the Temple of the Holy Spirit)
Awaken the Morning! (the letters AM are the 1st and 13th letters of the English alphabet, so AM is 113--Psalm 113 is the heart of BACK Forrest Fullaunthrop'E! and ATM means cash!)
Cue the Music! (Let the Nations be Glad! Good News! Great Joy! All People!)
Kindle the Campfires! (Christmas Campfires of Perpetual Praise Everythere on Earth as it is in Heaven!)
BACK means many things in BACK Forrest Fullaunthrop'E! BACK Forrest Fullaunthrop'E! has been designed to maximize opportunities to invest in Kingdom work, based on the idea that Jesus came and Jesus will come BACK for His Bought'tea! BACK is the big why and the big way we do everything in BACK Forrest Fullaunthrop'E!--- BACK those who share "Good News of Great Joy for All People" in all the ways! Money, presents, and presence! Financial backing (money) sharing our gifts and talents (presents) and prayer and fellowship (presence).....
Forrest has layers of meaning: "For rest" is why people receive massage, and "For rest" means more than just us, but "For rest" of the world, "For rest of the Bought'tea!" as there are many people in the world who have yet to hear the "Good News of Great Joy for All People!" (Luke 2:10) and Forrest is filled with trees! Forrests grow from seeds. Pine forrests grow from seeds stored in pinecones. Forrests are a beautiful place for rest and peace and refreshment.
Fullaunthrop'E! (sounds just like philanthropy!) carries "Children Cheer Chair'E'teas!" in the name!
Children: Aunt is the heart of Fullaunthrop'E! Full-aunt-hrop'E!
Cheer: Full is the beginning of Fullaunthrop'E! Full-aunthrop'E! begins with the ministry of massage, and backs
Chair'E'teas!: throp'E! is the Great Grand GO! of it all! To "hold the rope" as William Carey asked of Andrew Fuller, when he said, of going to India to share the "Good News of Great Joy for All People"-- "I will go, if you will hold the rope!"
E is for Evelyn! Fullauntrhop'E! and Chair'E'teas! both were named in honor of my Mother, Evelyn, who was the most enthusiastic, entrepreneurial, philanthropic person I've known--Fullaunthrop'E! is fully all of those things--and that is fully Evelyn!
E is for Everything, Entrepreneur, Enthusi'East!, Eat!, East, Embrace, Esther, Ephesians, Eager, Ends of the Earth, Epiphany, Eternity, Evergreen, Everlasting, Emmanuel, Encourage, Edify, Early, Empower......
BACK Forrest Fullaunthrop'E! also carries the idea of storybook, and is meant to remind us that our lives tell stories! May they be true stories, of the Kingdom of Heaven!
While the Black Forest in Germany is most likely not close to where William Tyndale hid from the King of England to translate the Bible into English, (it is believed he was in Hamburg and Wittenberg, 700-800 miles north) because Tyndale found refuge in Germany for his forbidden work, and because the Black Forest is in Germany, BACK Forrest Fullaunthop'E! also speaks of William Tyndale, who turned his BACK to the King of England, to carry on the work the King of Heaven gave him to do.
