MINGA! What is it...

It's amazing! It's a new year and God is doing a new thing, just as he promised he would. During the last year, I encountered a lot of young entrepreneurs who struggled with building their businesses and who are in desperate need of a coach. Yet, their current budgets do not support the prices requested by most of those in the coaching industry.

On December 30, 2015, the Spirit of God spoke this to me. I wrote it down and filed it away. No, actually, I forgot he even said it. Then just 2 days ago in prayer, about 3:00am in the morning, he woke me up and spoke this word to me yet again: Prophetic Coaching and Consulting. The uniqueness of this concept is this: The charge is "whatever the person is able to pay". The way he put it was "for a donation of any size".  That is alright with me because I have been serving others for 30+ years for a donation of any size. This makes my assignment as a "marketplace" apostle much easier.

God doesn't have to fit inside our little boxes of what he should do and how he should do it. If I am yielded to him, then that means that I'll do whatever he says, whenever he says it in the way that he says it. So I present to you my new assignment: PROPHETIC COACHING & CONSULTING 2016.

I've created a program called  the MINGA program to help struggling entrepreneurs get their footing in the marketplace and excel in  2016.  MINGA in a certain South American language means "communal work".  I once heard a story that explained MINGA this way:

"There was once a missionary in a certain South American village who was there to build a school for the children. Because of the terrain, the school was being built up the mountain and he labored daily with a few volunteers to get the work done before the rainy season. This included carrying the building materials up a crooked dirt road. If he could not complete it before the rains came, it would be impossible to complete because the road up the side of the mountain would become impassable. He explained his dilemma to the few men working with him. "Go see the old woman in the hut at the edge of the mountain," they instructed.

Though he was diligent in his pursuit to haul supplies and work faster, the school wasn't going up fast enough, so he came down the mountain and stopped at the hut of the old woman.  He stepped inside the hut and spoke to withered old woman sitting alone amongst her meager belongings. While he was speaking, his heart sank because he could not fathom how she would be able to help. She was old and weak. The volunteers had instructed him that she would know exactly what to do. After he finished pouring out his heart and his fears that the project would not be completed in a timely manner, the old woman stood up and stepped outside the door. 

With a strong voice she spoke one word, "MINGA". She then returned to her resting place in the little one room hut. The missionary was so frustrated and confused. What good had that done? He left the hut broken hearted because he knew all hope was lost of completing the work.

The next day, when he arose to begin the fated work, much to his surprise, there was a line of women volunteers that stretched down the mountain road and into the village. And they just kept coming. He was so excited and encouraged. He hastened to employ every volunteer that arrived. When the work was completed, he asked one of the villagers, "what happened that all these people are here?" The villager explained that when the old Elder spoke the word MINGA, everyone who heard it passed it on and the call traveled to nearby villages. The women had come from miles around and several different villages. The man explained to the missionary, "in our country, when someone has a pressing need, we all come together and work until the need is met and the word for that is MINGA. What do you call it in your country?" he asked. 

The missionary marveled but did not answer because in his country, there was no such concept.

I'd like the opportunity to with you this year of 2016 in a MINGA project. You are worth it. So come, let us pass the word, MINGA. If you or anyone you know needs a life coach or a business coach, tell them about me. I've been doing this for 30 years or more only back then, we called it ministry. When God sent me as an apostle to the marketplace, I didn't really know what that meant but I said Yes Lord anyway. Now he is revealing more of the facets of what I am really here to do. I absolutely love it and I could do this all day!

This MINGA program will cover three areas: HEALTH, WEALTH & RELATIONSHIPS
