Great Back Forrest Fullaunthrop'E! begins with Pinecone Promises--this is how the Great Back Forrest grows!
Great: The 4 Pinecone Promises are all Great! Live the Great Commandments. Love the Great Commission. Lavish Great Comepass!on. Leverage Great Comepanyons. These 4 Promises are summed up in 4 words: Seed Firs' and Sow Great! So that is the Great in Great Back Forrest Fullaunthrop'E!
Back: Jesus is coming Back! John 14 and Acts 1
Back: support, especially money, that someone gives to a person or plan
Back: CameLLback Christmassage is a Great Back Rub!
Back: Bless Awaken Comefort Keep (acronym) Back the Bought'tea!* (Body of Christ)
Bless: "all peoples on earth will be blessed by you." Genesis 12 "do good to all people, especially believers." Galatians 6
Awaken: "Arise! Shine! for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD rises upon you!" Isaiah 60
Comefort: this is word play to mean comfort, and Come is for Isaiah 55 "Come, all you who are thirsty...." and "Your Kingdom Come on earth as it is in Heaven" and "Comefort" as I see it means a fortress (fort) of comfort, a steadfast welcome...
Keep: ongoing, unending, continuous--the kind of backing for the Bought'tea! that is sustainable
Forrest: the rest and care and refreshing of our physical bodies
Forrest: the rest of the Bought'tea! (our brothers and sisters in Christ)
Forrest: the rest of the world, commonly call the Unreached- I call the Purchased
Forrest: Four Otters Remember Rejoice Embrace Strengthen Train (more to come on this)
FULLAUNTHROP'E! (pronounced just like philanthropy) is named in honor of my Mother Evelyn (the 'E! is for Evelyn, the exclamation mark because she was an absolutel Enthusiast!) and her mother (Mama Sisson) whose lives shaped me into who I am today. Fullaunthrop'E! (as you can see in the word) is 'throp'E!' that symbolizes Cheerfull Unending Provision for Kingdom work, in particular, sharing GOOD NEWS of GREAT JOY with ALL PEOPLE! Luke 2:10
Will You Hold the Rope?
William Carey (born August 17, 1761) was a missionary extraordinaire to India, and Andrew Fuller (born February 6, 1754) was his chief support. Carey famously said to Fuller (and a few others) "I will go if you will hold the rope." He had likened taking the Good News of Great Joy for All People to India, to going down into a mine, wherein was great treasure and great risk, and a venture not to be entered into alone. To this mission venture he pledged his life, as long as his friends would "hold the rope" by supporting him with prayer and resources.
"Our undertaking to India really appeared at its beginning to me somewhat like a few men, who were deliberating about the importance of penetrating a deep mine, which had never before been explored. We had no one to guide us; and whilst we were thus deliberating, Carey, as it were, said, "Well, I will go down, if you will hold the rope." But, before he descended, he, as it seemed to me, took an oath from each of us at the mouth of the pit, to this effect that "whilst we lived, we should never let go the rope." -Andrew Fuller, in a letter to Christopher Anderson
"throp'E!' of Fullaunthrop'E! (Fuller's name is in Fullaunthrop'E!) is braided together with 3 strands: Children-Cheer-Chair'E'tea!
Children "Let the Little CHILDREN come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Matthew 19:14 Cheer "In this world you will have trouble, but be of good CHEER! for I have overcome the world." John 16:33 "Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a CHEERFULL Giver!" 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 The most pronounced spiritual gifts God has given me are CHEER (typically called encouragement) and GIVING, so CHEER-FULL GIVING are the best gifts I have to share with the Bought'tea! of Christ! CHAIR'E'TEA! "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6:21 CHAIR'E'TEA! is spelled this way like chai tea, and with the chair for chair massage, E for Everything! (PourINEverything, PINE) and tea! ta ethne alleluia! All peoples praise the LORD! This is the treasure we invest in, so that this is where our hearts will be!
*Bought'tea! is a word for body, our temple of the Holy Spirit
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from GOD? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor GOD with your bodies."1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Bought'tea! is a word for the Body of Christ among "all peoples" Jesus bought peoples from every tribe, tongue, and nation with His blood
Again-this is why I use the word Purchased rather than Unreached 'tea! in Bought'tea! is an acronym for "ta ethne alleluia!" which is Greek and means, "all peoples praise the Lord!" When Jesus gave The Great Commission (Matthew 28) He said to make disciples of "ta ethne", "all peoples"....so... if we make disciples, they will praise the LORD and since "alleluia!" means "praise the Lord!" then "ta ethne alleuia", "all peoples praise the Lord!" fits Fullaunthrop'E! to a 'tea! Wouldn't you say?
