Imagine the average Adventures in Odyssey fan. You're probably thinking of a roughly 12 year old, white, American, (maybe Canadian) upper middle class christian. Possibly homeschooled, perhaps goes to a private school, they probably come from a functional American family, speak english and, well... are much like you, right?
Focus on the Family has always focused on (in addition to the family
![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/wink.gif)
So, here's my idea: we set up a non-profit (perhaps Focus would consider taking it on as a part of their work, or we, as fans, just start it up, whatever) that buys Adventures in Odyssey albums (and CD players) at a preferrably reduced rate from the distributer and ships/sends them to/with short and long term missionaries throughout the world. We could reach people with Odyssey sort of like Gideon does, we could put them in homeless shelters, after school programs, juvenile delinquent centers, orphanages, etc. throughout the english (and now spanish and manderin chinese) speaking world in order to bring glory to God and further his kingdom.
So, what do you think? Achievable? Un-achievable? Already been done? Just plain stupid? Should be altered? I'm just looking for basic ideas here. While pondering this, I wondered "how does one go about taking action on a thing like this? how do I get started?" I decided the best way would be to just start a thread in Whit's End. So, I'm not really even planning on doing this, I'm just wondering what people think of the idea and why it hasn't been done in the past?
Thanks,
