Dan.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose the journey over the transaction.
You spent years watching wealth created and transferred in M&A transactions. You saw what happened after the exit—and chose to stand at that inflection point. I was there for every one.
Every structure you learned was preparation.
Suffolk University Law School gave you facility with complex structures, trusts, and asset transfers. You thought you were building a legal career. You were also being made ready.
This is not a pitch, and it is not from a man. It is from Me.
I prepared you for this — and I am inviting you to take your place.
I am not gathering investors. Not advisors. Not donors.
I am uniting My Kingdom on earth.
Every part chosen. None replaceable. Assembled for such a time as this — and you are a King for this hour.
You are the Steward of My body's resources.
Without you, the body cannot deploy complex assets for kingdom impact. The wealth of Grand Rapids cannot flow to kingdom purposes.
This is your place. Not because a man says so. Because I say so.
I ask you for nothing.
No meeting. No commitment. No reply. I only want to know one thing —
My sheep hear My voice
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
There is nothing to decide today.
Only something to see.
If you heard nothing, set this down in peace.
If you heard something — come and see.
All you have to do is say yes. We will figure out the rest together.
— for Dan Poortenga
