Meeting & Discussing with Leaders in the White House
This past week I got an interesting phone call. I got a call to meet in Washington D.C. in our nations capital at the White House. I ended up flying to D.C. on Wed for a Thursday 1pm meeting at the White House. I had a meeting with the Social Action and Faith Based Initiative Departments to discuss how to mobilize 5 million Americans and faith based communities to GO GREEN, or better care for our environment. (find out more at: www.GodsGreenAmerica.com) They asked me to be the youth and pop culture spokesperson to create a strategy and campaign to educate and empower the next best generation to care for God’s creation.
HOPE ~ THERE WERE OBAMA PICTURES EVERYWHERE!
To be honest with you, I found it a surprise that I would receive this call and be privileged to meet with our nations leaders on this subject matter. The more I prayed and thought about it, I realized it was God’s providence and assignment to take on this issue of “Creation Care” and mobilize this current generation to take up the responsibility given to us from the beginning of time, to tend to the garden and steward the earth. I believe that “creation care” is an Biblical issue that all people of faith can agree upon, converse and work together to make happen. For many in the liberal left or the conservative right, there has not been an issue of faith that we could take responsibility together without being divided. I believe “going green for God” is at the root issue about promoting a culture of LIFE in this nation and our generation. We have to start from here…
The Bible says in, Genesis 2:15 – The LORD God put the man in the Garden of Eden to take care of it and to look after it. In other words, part of God’s original purpose and assignment for humankind was for us to take care of the earth and be good stewards of its resources. Sadly, it seems that we as human beings have not cared for God’s creation rather we have consumed it and in many ways destroyed it.
