Dear Bruce, I want to help…

Bloggers,

You are here, on Friday, as usual, fully expecting a “Dear Bruce” letter and response, no doubt. Well, this edition is just a bit different, but equally helpful in a YOU focused sort of way! Today, Optimuslife.org is giving YOU the chance to help many others. But first, the brief letter that inspired this little change in approach today.

“Dear Bruce, I have followed your writings for some time and have been loving the new blog. I want you to know that I look forward to the blog everyday and feel like I have missed something if I skip a day. I would like to know how I can support and further the work you are doing, so, please, tell me what I can do to help Optimuslife.org”.

So, folks, there you go! A Dear Bruce letter that opens the door for you to play a major role in the work we are doing. Now here is the answer, and here is the OPPORTUNITY!

Reader, Blogger, Supporters,

We at Optimuslife.org are committed to championing God’s call for people to embrace life to the full (Jn 10:10). As the vision grows and expands, and as we have the thrill of carrying out the mission we believe God has placed in our hearts, we fully expect God to do amazing things in the hearts of many.

Our aim in the coming year is to develop a number of venues by which many more may have access to Optimuslife.org and its resources. Below are a few of the things we hope to develop:

* A fully-functioning Life Coaching/Life Counseling venue (to give people access to a fee based, real-life, real-time coaching/mentoring/counseling setting.

*A “story page” on Optimuslife.org that will showcase amazing stories (audio, written, and video) of life transformation that will inspire people to thirst for the life God is calling them to live.

*A scholarship program for young adults who exhibit excellence and leadership potential. We seek to build into and build up those young adults who thirst to live BIG lives for God and who may need a little boost along the way.

*Optimuslife seminars. Our aim is to create a two or three day venue that will provide inspirational teaching and training for individuals seeking to develop into fully devoted followers of Christ. We aim to reach and equip people to pursue His life with a passion for excellence and integrity.

* We hope to see Bruce’s new book published and offered widely.

* We aim to produce/publish pamphlets, small books which are inspirational, affordable and life changing. Ideally these would inspire existing Christians and draw those not yet convinced to consider what Life to the Full looks like.

Those are but a few of the initiatives we aim to see fulfilled in the coming year. Obviously, we cannot begin to carry out these goals without the generosity of many of you. We desperately need those who believe in what we are doing to take a leap in our direction and offer a financial gift. As we are just getting underway in the last 45 days or so, we are already seeing God bless us. The stats show that up to 600 people at a time are visiting the blog site, with more viewing Optimuslife.org. I am told that these are very strong numbers for a start up this young.

We are just beginning, are in need of a major capital infusion, and we need your gift during this time of year-end giving. Our prayer is that years from now, we will be able to look back and view these humble beginnings as a precious moment in our history.

Please, today, as you are going about your shopping and giving, take time out to give to Optimus Life. We really do need you, and your gift will be used to carry out the visions we have set forth. Your gift could very well change the world for one or more individuals, it could actually change the world, period. As people are changed, families are changed. As families are changed, communities are changed. As communities are changed, nations change. And on it goes.

As a simple “Thank you” for any gift of $50.00 or more Optimus Life will send you a signed copy of Bruce’s first book, Soul Storm: finding God amidst disaster.

However you are led, please, send a gift today to the following address:
