Marcus Young is both inspiring, and challenging, to be around. He's inspiring because if you spend even a little time listening to him, you quickly become aware that he's invested in some eternally significant work. He's challenging to be around because listening to what he's lived through as He's said yes to the LORD's lead in his life, makes you realize that there are more 'yeses' right in front of you that you have yet to give to God.
Marcus has taken on, developed, and launched major initiatives in numerous countries to "rescue children from cycles of violence and human trafficking, educate and mentor them, and clear the way for these children to become the next leaders and peacemakers in their communities." The events he's lived through are unbelievable, and the reward of seeing children rescued from lives of violence and death - priceless. Spend a little time listening to someone who's dared to risk it all to rescue another.. and see how God has taken that act of trust and multiplied its impact for the good of countless others.
During the interview, Marcus suggests a book for listeners to read called, 'A Banquet Seat and A Listening Ear: Stories from the Kingdom Frontiers' by Rev. Dr. Bill Atwood. In the United States you can find it here on Amazon.
You can find Marcus' book entitled, 'Love Your Enemy: A 30-Day Guide to Compelling Expressions of Faith' in the Amazon store in both paperback and Kindle formats.
If you'd like to find out more about the work of rescuing child soldiers, you can do so via Marcus' ministry, InFire. You can also follow Marcus and InFire via Facebook, twitter, and Instagram. Please consider donating to this integral, powerful, and significant work, and if you're the praying kind, don't forget to join in the fight that way too! +++
