Welcome to Go Beyond • Live Adventurously for God
Great Wall of China | 2003
My adventure with God started in high school. A Christian friend gave me a copy of the New Testament on February 19, 1973. I took that New Testament home and began to read it that same night and continued reading it every night. I was fascinated by the life of Jesus and by the lives of those who followed Him. The more I read, the more convicted I became that something was missing in my life. Within a matter of weeks, I heard a presentation of the gospel message. For the first time, I understood my sinful condition and my need for Jesus Christ. I repented of my sins and placed my faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
My walk with Christ has been the greatest adventure of my life and one that has taken me to more than thirty countries on the planet. My life has been enriched by the people I have met and the places I have seen — all reminders of the beauty and diversity of God’s creative activity.
This site is dedicated to reflections on my journey with Christ. As a Christ-follower, I believe that I have a personal responsibility to share (proclamation) and to show (incarnation) His love to others. I hope you enjoy the thoughts I record and the insights I glean along my journey and that you will take a moment to offer your thoughts about what it means to Go Beyond — to forsake contentment and to continually “press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:14). And, I hope that you will live adventurously for God — daily taking the initiative to demonstrate His love to others in practical ways and intelligently articulating His message to a world in need, one person at a time.
May God bless you as you live adventurously for Him.
Blessings,
Omar C. Garcia

I got your twitter invite but I don’t use it. Are you on facebook? Facebook couldn’t buy twitter so they change the look to copy it.
You brother in So. Tx.

Hey Jon…
Hope you are well. I have not made the move to Facebook yet, although I have had lots of nudging to do so. Perhaps soon. Between my blog and my website I don’t know that I can squeeze out any additional time for Facebook. However, I’ll let you know if I take the Facebook plunge.
Blessings,
Omar~
