Free Hugs Campaign

Sometimes, a hug is all what we need.

Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann (One Man), A man whos sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.As this symbol of human hope spread accross the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After all, If you can reach just one person

How it all started:

I'd been living in London when my world turned upside down and I'd had to come home. By the time my plane landed back in Sydney, all I had left was a carry on bag full of clothes and a world of troubles. No one to welcome me back, no place to call home. I was a tourist in my hometown.Standing there in the arrivals terminal, watching other passengers meeting their waiting friends and family, with open arms and smiling faces, hugging and laughing together, I wanted someone out there to be waiting for me. To be happy to see me. To smile at me. To hug me.So I got some cardboard and a marker and made a sign. I found the busiest pedestrian intersection in the city and held that sign aloft, with the words "Free Hugs" on both sides.And for 15 minutes, people just stared right through me. The first person who stopped, tapped me on the shoulder and told me how her dog had just died that morning. How that morning had been the one year anniversary of her only daughter dying in a car accident. How what she needed now, when she felt most alone in the world, was a hug. I got down on one knee, we put our arms around each other and when we parted, she was smiling.Everyone has problems and for sure mine haven't compared. But to see someone who was once frowning, smile even for a moment, is worth it every time.

Ten Litttle Christians

Ten Little ChristiansTen Little Christians came to church all the time;One fell out with the preacher, then there were nine.

Nine Little Christians stayed up late;One overslept on Sunday, then there were eight.

Eight Little Christians on their way to Heaven;One took the low road, then there were seven.

Seven Little Christians, chirping like chicks;One didn't like the singing, then there were six.

Six Little Christians seemed very much alive;One took a vacation, then there were five.

Five Little Christians pulling for Heaven’s shore;One stopped to take a rest, then there were four.

Four Little Christians each as busy as a bee;One had his feelings hurt, then there were three.

Three Little Christians couldn't decide what to do;One couldn't have his way, then there were two.

Two Little Christians each won one more;Now don't you see, two plus two equals four.

Four Little Christians worked early and late;Each brought one, now there were eight.

Eight Little Christians if they double as before;In just seven Sundays, we have one thousand twenty four.

In this jingle there is a lesson true;You belong either to the building, or to the wrecking crew.-

Author Unknown

A worldchanger is someone who is committed to do just that, change the world.

A worldchanger is not someone who blends in. A worldchanger sticks out!

A worldchanger stands up ready to make a difference.

A worldchanger goes beyond the usual expectations of Christianity.

A worldchanger finds the most intense demands that Jesus places on Christians and doesn't shy away but goes after then passionately and does whatever it takes to get the job done! She is not just doing it because her parents make her or because the youth pastor bribes her.

A worldchanger has been radically, completely, and totally changed by a relationship with God!
Christianity is not some boring thing that a person halfheartedly commits to just because they have been in church their whole lives. You are not hanging on to your parents Christianity.

A worldchanger had found Jesus for them-- not just for mom and dad or just for the pastor. And because Jesus died for them, they are ready to give their lives for him. Christianity. is not just lip service.

Worldchangers have a fervor to seek God with all of their hearts, and to do everything they can to let the world know that God is real and that he is alive! Worldchangers are not stuck in a bunch of boring rules and regulations, but they have the fire of the living God burning inside them! And they just can't keep it inside of them.

Worldchangers are serious about learning the word of God and then taking that word and applying it to their lives. Worldchangers are constantly changing and becoming more and more like Jesus.

Worldchangers develop a vision for their community and do everything they can to take the living Christ to a lost and dying world!

Worldchangers are sick and tired of a watered down, namby-pamby Christianity.! They want the real thing and don't care how hard it hits them or what parts of their lives they have to change. They are sick and tired of the attitude that lukewarm Christians bring into the church, and they are ready to do something about it! They are especially ready to attack attitudes in their own lives!

A Worldchanger loves the Lord with all of his/her heart, soul, mind, and strength and loves his neighbor as himself. Write this scripture down. Carry it with you! Begin to pray over what you have just learned about a worldchanger.
