Jason was a young Christian who had a vision to reach youth. He worked hard to organized a rally as a means to bring gospel to them.His enthusiasm was certainly not lacking as he called others to join him in his vision of winning his peers to Christ.
Although there were many who supported Jason's work and shared in it by giving of their time,finances and prayers, Jason quickly learned that with any worthy cause comes opposition. Jason heard the comments firsthand."This is never going to work"."I don't believe anybody will attend, even if it gets organized."Some questioned his integrity-"Jason just wants to be the boss or "he has to be in the limelight".
After hearing these comments, it didn't take very long for Jason to begin doubting whether he should continue to try to launch this outreach rally. Then came the other disappointments. People said they would help and then would not show up.Rumors spread that the rally had been canceled due to lack of of interest. The posters, which had already been mailed out, had the main speaker's name misspelled.
Jason, however, continued to pray. He continued to seek support from those who shared his vision.He pressed forward despite opposition and doubts,and the rally was held as scheduled.There have been many more rallies in Jason's community since that first one, each having some sort of opposition and each being used by the Lord to further His Kingdom.
