How We Began:
“How do you want to be remembered?” This was the question in the early 1990s by one of my college professors that planted the seed for Yellow Umbrella Ministries. On a rainy day, where are the yellow umbrellas? They are rare, but they stand out like a ray of sunshine on a dark day. My answer to my professor’s question is this: “I want to be remembered as a person who carries a yellow umbrella.”
Jesus tells us to be the light of the world and let that light shine among the darkness. The Yellow Umbrella is a symbol of the joy of knowing Him. This is a ministry about joy—true joy, complete joy, lasting joy—how to find it, share it, and protect it.
What are we seeking to accomplish?:
Inspiring others to discover their joy, identity, and abundant living through Christ.
There are Three Principles to The Yellow Umbrella:
- Carry It
- Have you ever been caught in the rain without your umbrella? Before we can share joy with others, we have to have it ourselves.
- Open It
- Open your umbrella and let it shine before others and share your joy with them.
- Protect It
- Don’t let your umbrella get flipped inside out from a gust of wind. Many things lurk in our lives trying to steal our joy. Busyness, disappointments, frustrations…the list is endless. We must protect our joy from being robbed by circumstances.
