Field note

Sent out with nothing

Just like the disciples in Luke 22:35, we lacked nothing.

When it was time to move into business, God sent us the way Jesus sent His disciples. With almost nothing. And like them, we lacked nothing!

“When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.” Luke 22:35

When it’s time, you move!

We left at the Lord’s direction. It was time.

Wherever the disciples went, the message brought them every resource they needed.

That’s how we were sent. We left behind good jobs where we had seen real success. We took the skills God had built in us, and the call He gave me in 2018.

Into the great unknown.

God will give you direction and fill in the details along the way. Because we desire to do the best we can for the body of Christ, we find ourselves walking by faith, a lot!

Abram was told: go “unto a land that I will shew thee” (Genesis 12:1).

In our promised land we are blessed to be a blessing. But first we had to possess our possession. Obadiah 1:17 says “the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God gives the land. His people still have to go in and take hold of it.

That’s when we built the business

During this time of “possessing our possession”, we have built a remarkable service for businesses at R7 Creative.

Here’s what we did:

  1. I got the business off the ground. Structured, serving clients, and making them money.
  2. Improved the speed to value. Went from taking 2 months to deliver assets that bring in leads, to 2 weeks.
  3. Reduced costs through custom software. I built a unique software platform that creates efficiency and increases delivery of marketing results.
  4. Reduced costs to our clients. Not only did I reduce the effort required to get results, I lowered the cost to my clients proportionately.

But wait, there’s more!

We also have a ministry.

This has allowed us to truly put our own action to what we believe in: Fund the mission through R7 Creative, do the mission through Commissioned You.

What does “sent out with nothing” teach a business owner?

You don’t need everything before you go. You need the word, and you need to obey it.

The resources come as you go. They came for the disciples. They came for us. And they will come for you.

That’s not a promise that it’s easy. We still had to possess what God gave us. That took work, structure and time.

But we never lacked what we needed.

Why does this matter if you work with us?

We built R7 by obeying a call and doing the work.

If you’re building something for the Kingdom, we understand where you are:

  • You might be starting. But we can help you speed up your marketing.
  • You might be building with less than you’d like. But give it everything you can every day.
  • You might be holding a word you haven’t fully seen yet. It will come to pass.

We’ll help you make your vision plain, and build the marketing structure to keep sharing the mission and attracting the right people.
