     Hi there Greg,

     Do you have any contacts for me in South Africa. We are trying to implement D2S in SA and are not sure of how to get hold of the materials we need etc.

     Would appreciate it if someone from the office could pop me a mail.

     Blessings

     Warren
     South Africa

   • Hey Greg,

     This is Caleb Wynn. I went to Dare2Share in Atlanta last year and I loved it. I have come a long way since then, and I mean that in the worst ways possible. I have done just about anything and everything to ruin my relationship with God. I have grown up in church my whole life, and I live in one of the greatest Christian homes a kid could ask for. The sad thing is that im not that kid anymore. I graduated last year from high school. I have not been in church in over 6 months. Something came over me the other night, though. I built up the courage to go to church last wednesday night, not my church though, I was too ashamed and scared. The youth pastor played a video for Dare2Share for this year, and a lot of signs have been thrown in my direction lately. Ive been watching some of your videos on youtube, lol right? I didnt know how to get in touch with you or anything. This is completely random, I know. Please email me back, I would like to talk things over with you because that long story does not even touch the basis of this past year for me.

     Hey Caleb, Thanks for your honesty and courage to share this with me. Here’s the deal, I’m not much of a counselor (especially from 2,000 miles away.) But here’s your next step, go back to your church and find a godly man to confide in (youth leader, elder, pastor, etc) and share. If you can’t quite muster the courage for that get plugged in to a good church near you and fellowship there. As someone said “A coal is in danger of burning out if it is out of the fire.” Get back in the “fire” of fellowship and pray that the Lord opens the door for you to find someone who can pour into you and restore you. I will pray for you. Hope that helps brother!

   • Hello Mr. Stier…it’s been a long while since I’ve left a comment. I usually don’t ask for prayer or advice from someone clearly as busy as you seem to be…but I’m going to. Please take your time to respond…I’m in no rush.
     Any-who…ok…I like a girl…woah big suprise! Now, my pickle is her situation, not mine. When I first met her I had just transferred from my Starbucks to her’s…I met her, thought she was amazing and soon realized she was already dating a co-worker and her boyfriend and I really hit it off…needless to say out of simple respect toward both of them (wether or not I liked the guy) I didn’t let my interest in her go beyond simple co-worker status. I forced myself not to think about her. I thought that was that. Then she left him… and even then I didn’t pursue her because I knew the last thing she needed was another guy…and lets face it to most people…I am “just another guy” and that’s fine. I knew she needed to focus solely on growth with the Lord and the last thing I wanted to do was get in the way of God’s plan for her life. Then her X came back into the picture…(I should sell this to a soap opera) and she found that she had never really gotten over him…big suprise…long story short; he turned into a real jerk, she easily got over him and then…drum roll…we started talking more and spent time together outside of work.
     At first my feelings toward her were managable…a simple liking was all I developed. However, the more I got to know her the more I fell in love with her heart for the Lord, for children in slavery and ministry in general…she is a truly wonderful woman of God.
     Now, in light of all that…my problem is me. As I stated earlier, the last thing I want to do is get in the way of her realtionship with God by imposing myself upon her in any way. Even in simple friendship. I genuinely care for her, I genuinely love her and because of that I’m pretty sure that the best thing would be if I completely cut off contact with her. I can’t be like every other guy…I just want what’s best for her. The last thing she needs, I think, is more guys and I don’t want to be that guy…but I can’t help my feelings toward her.
     I think I know what I need to do. I will cut off contact beyond simple friendly conversation.
     I’m sorry this took so long to write and trust me, I never write like this to anyone. I guess I just need some advice or prayer…either will be fine. So stupid I know.
     Keep on truckin Greg.

   • Greg, if you are going to post Blogs via your “lair” then I think we need to get you some lighting and maybe a cool background. Just throwing it out there. I really do enjoy your posts…Looking forward to more via your web cam.

   • Greg I am coming to the conference at the end of the month in Lincoln. I am going to be filming a video while there, about sharing your faith, and was wondering if you would be up to doing some kind of devotional while in town? I know your a busy guy, but just pray about it. It would also be a cool post to put on your website.
