I would like to share with you straight from my heart what I believe God has been revealing to the board of Worldview Warriors and me.  Worldview Warriors has been doing ministry officially since 2006. We have reached countless students and equipped adult leaders to sink into these students, in person, in 22 states in just the last two years of ministry. We have also reached every state in the United States building up fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ through our internet presence. (We have reached 71 other countries around the world as well.)

This year we are entering into that crucial 5th year of ministry. As you may or may not know, many ministries and businesses fail before the 5th year or in the 5th year of operation. We know this is a big year for us. So let me share with you what the Lord has shown the board and me personally regarding the direction and focus of our ministry over the next year of 2011:

#1 – Slow down

I believe God has shown me that He wants to use our family as a testimony to those we come in contact with. We have already seen amazing fruit and encouragement to others through this.  I need to make the order of my relationships / priorities as follows:

• God
• My wife, Jaya
• My six children
• My relationships with others
• The ministry of Worldview Warriors

#2 – Get focused and do a few things with excellence

I believe God is calling me to stop booking and promoting the ministry of Worldview Warriors and focus on being still and meditating on God’s will. This will help me to focus on making our audio ministry even stronger than it already is. The board, staff and volunteers will be focusing in on promotions, syndication and booking. This focus includes:

• Our weekly 2-hour radio show called Do Not Keep Silent
• Our podcast, also called Do Not Keep Silent
• Our Worldview Warriors Fastcast / A 60 second nugget of truth for radio stations to play.

I am also called to focus in on writing. This includes:

• Weekly Blog posts
• The new book God is calling me to write

#3 – Continue speaking, but use our other speakers more often

The board, staff, and volunteers will be focusing in on promotions and booking.  We also have an outside person booking for the ministry as well. This includes:

• Jason DeZurik speaking more this summer and less on tours and focusing on implementing God’s direction.
• Implementing our other speakers more into the mix this year.

#4 – We are to build up our support base this year

This includes:

• Prayer Warriors
• Monthly Financial Donors
• Volunteers in the office and elsewhere.
• Educating people on how to give toward the ministry.

The ministry has already begun implementing the above changes to reflect what we believe is God’s direction. We have a full-time office person now. Her name is Marie Wise and she has been just amazing. We are honored to have her involved with what we are called to do here at Worldview Warriors. She is a major asset and will help greatly in implementing this pursuit of excellence in not only serving Christ but for us to pursue our mission of “Equipping Students to Impact This Generation for Jesus Christ.”

• I would ask you to please prayerfully consider God’s direction in giving Worldview Warriors an end of the year 2010 financial gift and/or becoming a monthly financial donor of the ministry if you currently are not a monthly donor.

• I would also ask that you please prayerfully consider telling people you know about the ministry of Worldview Warriors as we move forward into our 5th year of operation. We absolutely need more volunteers, prayer warriors, and monthly financial donors for this vision to move forward.

• Please pray for God to bring in the right people as we are looking to expand our board this year from 4 members to 6 members.

Some of you may be wondering to yourself, “Is this radio show really reaching people?” We can answer that question with an unequivocal, “Yes.”  Just on Facebook alone in the last month we have seen our activity jump from an average of 250 people per day to over 1,000 people a day. That’s per day! On Sunday night when the show is live we generally see over 4,000 people that are active on our Facebook profile.  Just last week there were over 9,500 people. Thanks for checking in and listening. We have also seen activity on discussion boards we put up and we are getting almost instant results from what we are doing for the Kingdom. People are not just listening, but they are learning and doing.  We hope this includes you. We hope not only others are putting their faith into action but you are putting your faith in Jesus Christ into action!

I hope you can see the vision of where we are heading in 2011. God has blessed us in the past and we are leaning on Him to supply our needs with this aggressive vision. Maybe He wants to use you, or someone you know, as a vehicle to help supply our needs this upcoming year.  If you have any questions please contact our office at 419-310-6249 and we will try to answer any questions you have to the best of our ability.

Thank you and God Bless,

Jason DeZurik

P.S. A good friend of mine says, “When God supplies a vision He supplies the provision.” We are excited to see how God works in and through you and us to equip students to impact this generation for Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord!
