Fireworks for Freedom is an idea birthed out of prayer and love for the people of Southeast Asia.  It is about putting hands and feet to the story of Jesus, continuing His ministry by helping people arrive at sustainable freedom.

It’s a challenge and a call to celebrate freedom this 4^th of July by giving it.  The idea is to funnel thousands of dollars towards a ministry that is already on the ground throughout Southeast Asia, the Rapha House.  Check out their website for more info.

Fireworks for Freedom might look like a guy who decides to give Rapha House the money he was going to spend on fireworks.

Maybe it’s a family who decides to match their “fireworks budget” with a gift to Rapha House; the family celebrates their freedom while giving it.

Maybe it’s a youth group that runs a fireworks stand, with all profits going to help others arrive at sustainable freedom.

Maybe it’s a youth group that runs a fireworks stand, with a certain percentage of the profit going to Rapha’s safe houses in Asia.

Maybe it’s a church that hosts a Freedom Party on the 4^th of July, with a $5 entry fee that will go towards to the Rapha House.

Maybe it’s a young adults group that wants to invest in something that won’t end in a pile of burnt trash, so instead of burning a bunch of stuff themselves, they have a great slam dunk shindig and then caravan to a local fireworks show that costs nothing.

Maybe it’s a teenager who designs a shirt to raise awareness.

As most people, I guess, we feel pretty helpless as to what to do to help with the current crisis in Japan.
