Our Aim in Austin

Not too long ago here in Austin I was sitting across the table from a multimillionare who made most of his money in commercial real estate. He said something that really stuck with me. "People shouldn't be looking for a job, or a role to fill when they think about their vocational choices, instead, they should look for an opportunity. Mike, look for an opportunity!" And this is exactly what we've found here in Austin-An opportunity. Let me explain: 5000 international students study at the University of Texas. These men and women who are the future leaders of their countries. Some will stay here in the U.S., but most will return to their countries to lead in the area of business, education, and government. Many of them are also from countries that westerners have extremely restricted access to. Iran would be a good example of this. We have about 60 Iranian students here at UT. They are all here for a short period of time. Then they will return to their countries. What will be their message when they go back? Who will influence them while they are here? What could be the potential impact of one leader sent back to Iran, Oman, or Saudi Arabia who will live out the rest of his days for Jesus Christ? Sound like an opportunity? I think so!!
