My vision for SKAR begins with my belief of where we are on the timeline God has graciously given and set for mankind. I’m NOT setting dates as to when all things end, but if you have eyes to see and ears to hear, you too sense the return of King Jesus in this hour.

I believe with all my heart the church’s time here on earth is short. I think of Jesus returning for His church at the “rapture” and I can’t help but think of the people who will be left behind and how confused they will be. As a way of explaining the vanishing of millions of people from the face of the earth, numerous forecasts have already been made of an alien invasion, which is in direct opposition to the truth of God’s Word. They will try to plant seeds of confusion after the rapture and many will believe this alien invasion lie over the church being caught away with Jesus. We need to counter that lie on this side of the rapture by allowing the Gospel to have its place, so that truth can be ministered to people’s hearts and they not believe this great deception.

I’ve had the name Survival Kit After Rapture, acronymed SKAR, and its content on my heart for about 20 years now. I knew I wanted to include a letter addressed to those left behind explaining what has happened and what to expect in the days ahead. Recently, I’ve sensed an urgency to quickly develop and manage what the Lord has put in my heart to do. NOW is the time!

This has been a difficult letter to write because I envision people reading it on the other side and know what they will have to endure. My HOPE and vision is that many will receive SKAR on this side of the rapture and get saved. I pray this becomes a witnessing tool and a great conversation starter in homes as our unsaved friends and family see it sitting in plain sight and ask “what is this?”

Everyone seems to have questions about the end times or time ending. Even Hollywood is obsessed with end of world movies, disasters or apocalyptic events. So why not use it to our advantage?!  Why not steward the emotional instability of our times by bringing hope in a positive way?! People seem to be most receptive in desperate situations. We hear the expression “keep your head on a swivel” often in our circles. It is primarily used as a caution, but in this case, it’s used as a line of help and rescue to the people around us. Be available and listen for those with in your reach who are hungry for Jesus.

SKAR may not be the familiar salvation invitation used, but I pray great favor for those who pick it up.

I pray you are successful in all your outreach endeavors and I speak blessings over you as you take your place in the Great Commission.
