David

 

 

 

Hi there, I am David Lowry. 

 

I attended a seminar in 2006 on  Christian Entrepreneurism and walked away with two principles that made me think.

 

The first is that "life begins at the edge of your comfort zone".  I was convicted by this because I have lived most of my life smack dab in the middle of mine.  I can remember times when I got close to the edge of it but very seldom stayed there.  It might have been that I got comfortable enough close to the edge that my comfort zone expanded but I have not ever experienced pushing the limits of mine consistently.

 

The second  is "money flows to integrity with a purpose".  I agreed with this one immediately because I have seen huge sums of money show up for projects when communicated to the hearts of people. 

 

This one also made me think because I have been working on the integrity thing for around 30 years but there has never been a purpose that was larger than what I could accomplish that had called out to me.

 

After the seminar, I started praying that God would show me a purpose that was bigger than anything I could accomplish without His help.  Within a week, it was if he called me up on the phone and said "David, you need to build a retirement community for Americans in Honduras".
