OUR STORY

by Genelle Asamoah

The Founder of The Philanthropical Faith

I am a 15-year-old girl, who one day, out of the blue, felt the impression of the Holy Spirit to start a devotional blog. The first thing that popped into my mind was to tell my mom that this is what I was feeling, and she encouraged me and said "I think that would work. Let's do it!" I was so so so excited! Over the moon, I tell you. 
​
Since the feeling was to do a blog that leaned towards my faith and devotions, I began to dive into my Bible and find and read random verses of the day, pray about them, and let the Holy Spirit speak to me. The revelations I got were CRAZY. It was like my brain had opened up a whole new tunnel in which my faith grew, and I was gaining insight from verses that I had read many times before but saw them in a new light. I am so very grateful that I heard the voice of God so clearly, and followed His instructions when it came to starting this blog.
​
I was sitting on my bed one day after church, praying and asking the Lord for a name for my blog. I wanted the name to be something powerful, catchy, and unique. All of a sudden the word "philanthropic" popped into my mind, and I immediately looked it up. Philanthropic means "to be seeking to promote the welfare of others or to be generous." I just about flipped out! That word is the epiphany of everything that my blog was about! An instantaneous miracle, I tell you! It was powerful, catchy, and unique ALL IN ONE! So I modified the word a bit and came up with "The Philanthropical Faith" as the name of my devotional because our faith is a generous one; we are called to share it with others to promote their welfare and put their souls in better places. 
​
The hand of God is all over this blog, and my heart's prayer is that The Philanthropical Faith will encourage you and allow you to see God in a whole new way!
