Many people can support organisations. This is what organisations are made of: people who share the same point of view about a specific subject or debate. I, as a christian, am part of an organisation called Come&Live! Some people would say that this association is nothing but run by vampires who only want your money. I don't think so. Many christian associations, including Come&Live! are not "prophets". They don't go and violently talk to kids, saying that God is the only option for their life. I believe that the future of Christianity is held in dialogue.
Many people can support organisations. This is what organisations are made of: people who share their stories, their experiences. I have the luck to feel the love of God and feel Him breathe into my lungs. Experiences are what define ourselves. I would be nothing without my own personal vision of Christianity. As I already explained, Jesus is my saviour, not my religion.
During this summer, I have been to Japan. Japan is a completely different country in the way they feel things. It is so different from our occidental models and standards. I think the most striking part of this trip was the visit of the different temples. Japanese are both buddhist and shintoist (at the same time, which shows that they are are not struck in religious shackles). But they have a very different way to worship their gods and pay respect to the deities. There is not all this religion concept. Yes there are some monks and clerks but you can worship on your own. There is a direct bond between the gods and the people. This is what I'm looking for in my life: free myself from all the tricks that "they" built. I'm searching for a more straightforward relationship with my God.
This is what associations are made of: people who share. As I like to share my experiences and impressions about my beliefs, I like to read, listen to the others. Today, thanks to the website of Come&Live! I found the story of Aaron Gillespie. His story deeply touched me. Aaron is more than a musician I like. He's a person I respect because he's making the things move for the christian community.

This is his story. This is how he is living.
You can listen to Jake Luhrs as well, speaking of how he gave his heart to the Saviour.
