Meeting people with same passion

If you ever want to be inspired in life, take the time and find someone else that has the same types of passions that you have. There is something special that happens when you hear the stories of how other people have come to this place in their lives and what drives them.
I had the unique privilege of meeting one of those people while I was at SoulFest. He is the leader and director of an organization in United States called "Forsaken Generation". He shared his story of how God called him to start an organization to reach the homeless teens of his country. He shared the stories of some of the people that changed his heart for the homeless and the trafficked teens.


As he talked about his heart I found mine in full agreement. As he shared some of the challenges in starting and operating a ministry like this I understood those too. As he shared his vision for the hurting, mine was stirred again. As he talked about some of the ideas they have for ministry, I felt like it was the same message God has been drilling deep into my heart.


Here is a poignant news article that talks about the reasons for teen homelessness. It will make you think, just as Sean's talk made me think even more. Sean didn't write this article but it was written by someone with the same passion:
