by helping build a school in Zambia
 We at World Vision are shocked and deeply saddened at the sudden death of Mike Yaconelli, the author of several books and owner of Youth Specialties, a Christian ministry that trains and provides resources to youth workers worldwide.
Mike was a prophetic voice who, in his own unconventional way, challenged individual Christians and the church in America to examine their faith and relationship with Jesus Christ in an honest and open manner. World Vision’s relationship with Mike was brief, but very powerful. His passion for helping orphans and vulnerable children, affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, sparked our collaboration on One Life Revolution. He played a significant role in making AIDS a cause for thousands of young people. It is because of his passion for this issue that One Life Revolution would like to build a school -- named The Mike Yaconelli School -- in his name.
He once said, "One Life Revolution says to the student, 'Look -- you are the church now. Not the church when you become an adult, but you are a church now. And you can take your one life and you can actually make a difference in somebody’s life in Zambia or in another place in the world, and you can actually do something about this. Not just talk about it. Not just watch a video about it. Not get teary about it and cry about it. You can actually do something.'"
Your gift, in memory of Mike, will help thousands of children in Zambia realize their full God-given potential by building a school in his name. |
