Are YOU Ready??? So You Want To Be a Political Science

By Kristin Reed
I was asked to share a little bit about my
experience in New Zealand. The one thing
that hit to the core are a couple of questions
“Am I Ready” and “Do I Believe”?
One day in my time alone with God in the
morning I was reading in 2 John. The one
thing that stuck out was that in confidence
we can ask for anything when we live
according to His will. That morning I asked
to experience God’s power and to allow me
to be ready to receive it. That day we had a
healing evangelist speaking to us. When he
was done speaking and praying over
people I felt like it was my turn. Since I was
a child I have had one leg longer than the
other. I really felt like God wanted to heal
me that day. I believed that God was going
to heal. Weston prayed over my leg and I
physically watched my leg grow. Praise
God!!! If God says that we can come to Him
and ask anything in confidence why don’t
we? Are you ready to ask God for healing
and believe that He wants to heal? If we
can come to God with any request why not?

The Marie Sandvik Center By TJ Schellman So You Want To Be a Political Science Major?! -Continued - - -

The Marie Sandvik Center is a Christian based 501(c)3 non-profit
charitable organization providing for the material and spiritual needs of
the poor living in the inner city. The mission is supported solely by
churches and private donations, not the government. This way sharing
God's message of love can be our primary focus. It is located on Franklin
Avenue in the Phillips neighborhood of south Minneapolis.
There is something going on at the center every day: evening church
services, women's meetings, after school Bible clubs for children,
Saturday Kids Club and special events like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
But there is another thing political science kids can do, and that involves
the glorious world of the nonprofit. Places like WorldVision, So Others
Might Eat, and various rescue missions look at political science people
with respect. In that world of nonprofit aid work, interaction with
government is unavoidable, and much of their work has political
implications. It takes smart people who are willing to serve the least of
these by engaging the great of these to make a difference in our world.
So, if you’re not one of those power-hungry political science kids who
wants to be Secretary of State someday, perhaps serving Christ in
nonprofit work is right for you.

Through these programs we distribute clothing, quilts, baby layettes,
food, diapers and financial help to thousands of people each year. This
opens up a wonderful door to share the Gospel message and God's love
with each person that we help.
As for me, well, I chose to become a political science major because I
wanted to serve Christ and his Church in understanding more that great
question of “how do we be in the world and not of it?” With the many
new questions arising in our church, a political science perspective,
biblically grounded and Spirit-led, sure is helpful.
