Vision for Mission - interview with Benjamin Turarri Ep05

Podcast Episode 5 Summary

 In M4M episode 5, we have a special treat as I am interviewing a good friend in East Africa, Benjamin Turarri. Recently, Benjamin discussed with me what he calls his “Vision.” He has some helpful perspective for our discussion on Moment for Mission.

If you give 10 minutes to listen Episode 5, you will hear a determined man share how he is overcoming many hurdles to begin realizing his mission and vision. I think you will find his story inspiring and the ‘on location’ recording is just fun!

 Quotable and Notable

 I summarize 6 important ‘take-aways’ from my interview with Benjamin: 

• Moment for Mission 1: Do what you know, are good at, and enjoy.
• Moment for Mission 2: Don't grow weary; accomplishing our Mission will take time.
• Moment for Mission 3: It is OK to start small. The important thing is to start.
• Moment for Mission 4: “But People…” there will always be naysayers and criticizers. Don’t listen to them or be beat down by their negativity. Press on!
• Moment for Mission 5: When opportunities come, take a risk, step out in faith, be excited the chance to augment your mission.
• Moment for Mission 6: As we pursue our mission, take every chance to help others along the way.

We have known and worked with another dear friend, Elphas Ongongo, for over20 years. He is not only an expert and handling any type of travel arrangement, he has a heart for what I call “travel with a purpose.” Elphas can, of course, get you to awesome locations and adventures, but he can also plug you into some meaningful and helpful community projects where you can lend an hand and your expertise to assist an East African community.
