Just Speak Life

Just Speak Life is a new ministry that exist to lead people to experience and express Jesus in the NOW.  The goal of Just Speak Life (JSL) is to witness to the Life, which is Jesus Christ. Our desire is to equip and mobilize the church to share Christ's love around the world.

Brandon Scott McDaniel (7/1/88-3/17/09)

…a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend. He went to “live it up” with Jesus on Tuesday, March 17, 2009. Brandon wrote his journal on a mission trip to India where he learned what it means to truly be a “follower of Christ.” He planned to tell everyone he could about what God taught him while he was on his mission trip in India, but our Creator had a more perfect way of telling Brandon’s story.

Even through the grief, his family’s only request was that life would prevail over death--Brandon’s story would win more people to Christ. Brandon’s journal was put together by friends and family so that his vision could be shared to a multitude of people. Brandon was a messenger, a disciple. He was the person he challenged us to be in this journal. This is not just a sequence of events from his trip to India, but rather a challenge that we cannot take lightly. In the words of Christ, echoed by Brandon, “It’s quite simple…Go. Make. Baptize. There is no excuse. We have been given all of the ways to do so…what determines what we do with it is our heart. There is such a bigger picture than our safe and free America.”

The quote above was taken from the introduction to Brandon’s journal, which has now sold 1000 copies @ $5 each (Proceeds go to India.) Throughout his journal, Brandon asked God over and over to “just speak life” through him to those he met:

 

"Jesus, just give me the words to speak life into others 

that You have spoken into me.” --Brandon
