Several years ago, there was a popular movie out in which a popular line caught the attention of the nation. It was copied in comedy skits, other TV shows and as well as millions of people jokingly repeating it. That most famous line from that movie was, "I see dead people."
This was all in fun, but there is a truth to that. There really are dead people walking around us. Do you see them? They could be your neighbors. They could be your co-workers. They could even be right next to you right now. Before you stop reading because you think I'm crazy, consider this.
In the Gospel of John 10:10, Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly." Let's see, if Jesus came that we may have life, then if we don't accept Him, that means that we are dead spiritually. Those are the dead people we see walking around. We see those who have not accepted Jesus in their spiritually dead state. We that are alive in Him shouldn't ignore those around us who are dead in their sins. It is our job, our ministry if you will, to share life with them, to tell them about Jesus. Look around you. See all the people you encounter daily? Ask yourself, do they know Jesus? Are they alive in Him? Now, think what would happen if they were to physically die that instant? They are exactly were you would be if someone had not told you about Jesus. They are an instant from dying without Christ. Do you really want that for them? Think about that for a moment. What do you plan to do about that?
When Jesus left the disciples on the Mount of Olives and ascended to heaven, He told them in Matthew 28:19 to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations". This command did not end with them. It passed through out the ages even to us today. Disciples make disciples and that is what we are to do, make new disciples. Why would we want to keep the promise of Jesus to ourselves? Go therefore today and tell someone about Jesus. You could be the one who finally convinces them to follow Jesus.

Our Mission
Here at Tell Someone Ministries, our mission is plain and simple. Acts 26:18 "To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may recieve forgiveness of sins." For me, I feel that I have not done enough to tell others about Jesus.
Even though we live in what was founded as a Christian nation, we live in one of the most needful mission fields in the world. I have always wanted to travel to foreign lands to help a missionary to proclaim the gospel of Jesus but I have come to realize that I can do that right here in America. I started Tell Someone Ministries in March of 2010 with a simple Facebook page. Since then, that page has been viewed by 29 different countries around the globe. This list includes current and former communist countries where the gospel is hard to spread as well as Islamic countries where missionaries are all but denied the permission to teach and to preach. I have been able to go to places via Tell Someone Ministries facebook page that is nearly impossible to reach in person.
For the future, I will add video messages and music to the Facebook page as well to the new additions to this ministry, our website, Twitter and now Blogspot. I also have the dream of hosting live events in my community with Christian bands and worldwide or local evangelist. I have not made definate plans as of yet for these events. Just help me to pray that the Lord would provide a venue to hold these events as well as ministry partners. I am doing all this for the simple reason of telling someone about Jesus.
If you have happened across this new blogspot by accident or if you are here because it was mentioned on one of the other Tell Someone Ministries locations, please join with me in this endeavour for Christ. I am always looking for new and exciting ways to tell someone about Jesus. If you want to know more or if you would like to become a ministry partner just drop me an email at tellsomeone_ministries@yahoo.com. Please take the opportunity to check our our Facebook and Twitter pages as well as the website http://www.tellsomeoneministries.webs.com/.
Thanks for taking the time to read this first attempt to blog.
