Next week I will be going to Beijing China with Ian Vickers on a business as mission trip. Ian and I met when we were both attending a bible study at our church called Noble Men. Ian and I quickly connected because of our love for endurance sports.
Ian and Christ Community Church recently spun off an organization called Global Partners in Hope with a mission to help churches spread the word of God in China. They do this through a variety of platforms. Ian asked myself and two other Christian business leaders to help him give a talk entitled Ethics in Management to 50 Chinese CEOs. Because of the broad range of people Lisa and I deal with in owning our businesses the topic of ethics is especially close to us.
I am asking for three things:
- 1. If God is leading you to support this mission please send a check to:
Global Partners in Hope
C/O Christ Community Church
404 S 108 Ave
Omaha, NE 68154
**Write on the memo Paladino China Trip - Pray that God gives us the opportunity to have an amazing impact in men lives.
- As you many know this will be my fourth business as mission trip in fourteen months. International travel combined with the change in my routine creates a wear and tear on my body that is comparable to that of running a marathon. Pray that I feel God’s strength during the trip, that I am able to sleep well despite the 12 hour time difference, that I do not become ill from eating different foods among other things. And finally that when I return that I do not get anxious about anything that happened at work while I was gone and I smoothly transition into my normal routine.
