Chad.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose stewardship over speculation when the world chased yield.
Since Peoria in 1990. 1999 at Mennonite Mutual Aid. You pursued the CFA charter not for prestige, but for precision in Kingdom work. I was there for every one.
The discipline of screening was preparation for stewardship.
You moved from merely avoiding harm to actively doing good. You chaired the Christian Investment Forum for six years. You thought you were managing funds. You were also being made ready.
This is not a pitch, and it is not from a man. It is from Me.
I prepared you for this — and I am inviting you to take your place.
I am not gathering investors. Not advisors. Not donors.
I am uniting My Kingdom on earth.
Every part chosen. None replaceable. Assembled for such a time as this — and you are a King for this hour.
You are the Steward of My body's capital on earth.
Without you, the body cannot integrate finances with faith. It cannot move from avoiding harm to doing good.
This is your place. Not because a man says so. Because I say so.
I ask you for nothing.
No meeting. No commitment. No reply. I only want to know one thing —
My sheep hear My voice
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
There is nothing to decide today.
Only something to see.
If you heard nothing, set this down in peace.
If you heard something — come and see.
All you have to do is say yes. We will figure out the rest together.
— for Chad Horning, CFA
