From 1972 until 1983, M*A*S*H (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) was an iconic and often controversial weekly television sitcom with quite a bit of political commentary, satire and immorality mixed in. The fact is that my generation was greatly influenced by this show and the many other so-called ground breaking television shows of the 1970's. Sadly, the underlying themes of counter-culture and immorality were usually veiled by really funny situations, one-liners and tear-jerking tragedy. While we laughed and cried with the characters, the underlying messages helped my generation along a path of acceptance of immoral behavior and attitudes as "normal".
In 1988, Jesus Christ changed my outlook on everything. I can still laugh at some of those M*A*S*H episodes, but I cringe at the immorality and lost condition that the show represents among my generation.
The world is in need of a totally new M+A+S+H. So, Jody Kennedy International will field our own M+A+S+H (Medical Assistance for Spiritual Health) in Masatepe, Nicaragua. While we will not be doing any surgeries we have no doubt that many heart transplants will take place.
Won't you pray for us right now? Will you consider how you can help us during 2011 by going, giving, sending and praying?
Thank you for 10+ years and thanking Him in advance for the next 10.
