As far back as I can remember, I have had a strong desire to bless the nations. Desire has become calling, and with the calling, has come vision. The calling has been confirmed in many ways over many years, and the vision has grown into what I now call a "Grand Canyon Vision" and I continue to prepare and position myself as I trust GOD, and know everything He has shown me will come to pass! (Part of being a Comepass!onaire is believing His promises are true and His WORD will Come-to-Pass!)
By the time I discovered Social Entrepreneurship in 2007, my vision was huge! The discovery of the framework of Social Entrepreneurship exploded my desire and confirmed to me the great need for more business models that were designed for social change, and for sustaining charitable work.
Y'SSE! MAGI: Y'earning Seashell Sowshall Entrepreneurs Making A Giving Internationally
Y'earning is spelled Y'earning to imply what you are earning, y'earning for the work you do, and also that what you do with what y'earn shows where your heart is, and for what it is that you yearn, desire, long for, pine. Jesus said, "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
A Social Entrepreneur is someone who innovates and finances a solution to a social problem. This can be community based, global, or both. Social means people, so a Social Entrepreneur innovates and finances a solution with other people for a people problem.
A Seashell Sowshall Entrepreneur is a Social Entrepreneur who innovates and finances a Kingdom solution with Kingdom people to solve a Kingdom people problem motivated by an eternal Kingdom perspective.
SEASHELL came to me along the way, as I was thinking over and over: SOMETHING needs to change, we must pour in EVERYTHING, and we can ask GOD for ANYTHING....SOMETHING EVERYTHING ANYTHING, SEA! Habakkuk 2:14 is one of my favorite passages of Scripture. "The knowledge of the glory of the LORD will cover the earth as the waters cover the SEA!"
Something: Give them Something Matthew 14:16-18 Jesus replied, They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat....bring then to me. A Sowshall Seashell Entrepreneur believes that when we bring what we have to Him, He will bless and multiply it to meet an overwhelming need for people. From 5 loaves and 2 fish, the disciples were able to feed 5000 men, and that's not counting the women and children! They could not have done this on their own, but by faith, what was impossible, happened quickly before their eyes! The immediate physical need of the people was met.
Everything: Pour in Everything Mark 12:44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything-all she had to live on. The widow in this story gave everything she had to live on to the temple treasury. Since Jesus referred to His Body as the Temple, and we are His Body, and He gave His life to purchase peoples from every tribe, tongue, and nation.....A Sowshall Seashell Entrepreneur pours in everything they have to the Temple Treasury, or for the "Bought'tea of Christ"....... Bought represents the purchase Jesus made and tea is an acronym in Greek for Ta Ethne Alleluia! meaning in English, All Peoples Praise the LORD! John 2:7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim!
Anything: Allaska Anything Psalm 2 and John 14 are the basis for Allaska Anything. Psalm 2, Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. John 14, You may ask anything in my name and I will do it. "Allaska Anything" is asking for the nations, and taking Jesus up on His offer to ask anything in His name! Alaska means "the mainland" or "the great land" and literally means "the object toward which the action of the sea is directed" --so, to a Sowshall Seashell Entrepreneur, this means asking for the nations in Jesus' name is the main thing---and the nations are the object of which the action of the sea (something-everything-anything) is directed!
S: Give them SOMETHING!
E: Pour in EVERYTHING!
A: Alaska ANYTHING!
S: SEED first the Kingdom of GOD!
H: HEED The Great Commission!
E: EverLastingKingdom!
L: Love GOD with ALL your heart, soul, mind, strength!
L: Love your neighbor AS you love yourself!
Seashell Sowshall Entrepreneurs pour in everything for others. As a play on words, we say, "four otters" since sea otters are social creatures, they live in the sea and they love to play! Our model of GrandCanyonGiving is based on the number four, so four otters is a fun fit!
Seashell comes with All Authority to "Seas hell" --A Seashell Sowshall Entrepreneur understands that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, and All Authority belongs to Him, so through Him we can Seas (Seize) hell! 1 John 3:8 A Seashell Sowshall Entrepreneur understands that social problems persist where darkness dwells and the Kingdom of Heaven can turn that upside down to bring things to be on earth as they are in heaven. A Seashell Sowshall Entrepreneur works and prays the LORD's prayer.
Seashell is a picture of giving everything for the value of the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 13: 45-46 The Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. A pearl is a jewel of the sea, and so this story reflects the purpose of A Seashell Sowshall Entrepreneur to give everything in pursuit of the Kingdom of Heaven, as the merchant who gave everything for the pearl.
Sowshall comes from Isaiah 55. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. A Seashell Sowshall Entrepreneur bases everything they do on the power of the WORD OF GOD and therefore is confident that their work, what they sow, will prosper.
