I was reading one of my favorite marketing blogs the other day, Seth’s Blog, and as usual, it didn’t disappoint. His observations on “Enormity” dovetailed nicely with a post Eric made a couple weeks ago.
There is no doubt in my mind that enormity is …dare I say it… the biggest problem facing us today. Consider the following:
• Our politicians are able to run up massive debt because of “Enormity.” We stopped talking about real numbers for most of us after $1 million. Our eyes start glassing over once it gets past 9 zeros; we get despondent when faced with the 12 zeroes that make up $1 trillion. We disengage. “Enormity” wins.
• Look at how we talk about the “Enormity” of AIDS in Africa – “Each day, 6,000 Africans die from AIDS and an additional 11,000 are infected.” {Lester R. Brown, HIV Epidemic Restructuring Africa’s Population, World Watch Issue Alert, 31 October 2000 }. 6,000 each day?! That’s 250 an hour. We don’t even see that many deaths in an entire season of Law and Order – there’s no way the average American can relate.
• We’re told, “15 million children die of hunger each year.” Most of us don’t want to think about a child dying; the stark horror of this fact leaves us feeling impotent. In the end, we often keep the need at arm’s length so we don’t have to deal with it.
As ministries, we fall victim to trying to spread our “vision” by showing people the enormity of need. We reason “If only they understood the need like I do, they’d share my vision, open their wallets and fund my ministry,” and then scratch our heads and wonder what happened as they seem to exhibit cold indifference. Yes, the facts are accurate, but along the way we overwhelm people with the enormity of the challenge. As a result we don’t just get averted eyes, we get callousness, as Eric rightly pointed out. And it’s not callousness because people are just cruel or want to be left alone – we’ve given them such a huge problem there is no way they can deal with it. Caring less becomes a coping mechanism almost out of necessity.
But when you break things down into more manageable chunks, suddenly the enormity of the situation doesn’t seem so daunting.
Think about the daunting challenge facing an alcoholic looking to be freed from his addition. He can’t hope to recover it all at once; the enormity of the challenge is best dealt with “one day at a time.”
This is why KIVA is doing well…and why I turn the channel whenever I see Larry Jones or Christian Children’s Fund come on the air. At KIVA, I have an opportunity to address any number of the enormous problems one small project at a time. I don’t NEED to know exactly how many children die each year from hunger…I’m aware of the need. What I really want is a way to do whatever I can to make a difference, a way to join the cause. And I want to see that I’m making a difference now, not “someday.” If I keep hearing that we still have 15 million kids dying each year after I’ve been “doing my part” I will withdraw and try to find a different way to accomplish something.
Thomas Aquinas warned teachers not to dig a ditch in front of a student and fail to fill it in. “To nearly raise doubts, and to ever seek and never find is to be in opposition to education and progress.” And yet, too often that’s what we do with our donors. We dig a ditch with our facts as we present the need to them, hoping that “Enormity” will make them want cross it and join “the cause.” Is it any wonder why we get averted eyes or “uncaring” people? We forgotten our responsibility to fill the ditch in by inviting them to participate and own just a little bit of the cause…and make an immediate impact one day at a time.
When you stop and think about it, this is exactly the same steps our Heavenly Father does with us through that amazing process called “Sanctification.” Like Isaiah, I’m overwhelmed – undone – with the enormity of how evil my heart really is when I’m confronted by the Holy One. I can’t ever hope to fix it. And yet God, in His amazing wisdom and grace, doesn’t just save us and then leave us to figure out the process on our own. He proceeds to transform us one day at a time into the likeness of His Son. And He invites us to join Him in His cause – restoring the human heart, truly the most enormous challenge facing the world. And He does it on a small scale, one person – one heart – one day at a time.
This is a process we can model!
