About The Book
Jason and Haley Bilotti’s Sink or Sit will inspire and challenge readers to get out of their comfort zones and step into God’s call, to stop sitting in place but to be willing to take risks, even if that means sinking while doing it.
It’s probably happened to you. You felt that nudge, an urge, from deep inside you, calling you out of your comfort zone. Calling to you to take a risk.
You have felt that call from God, asking you to step out of the boat, to do something significant.
Jason and Haley Bilotti each felt it—for years. But as they began to have children and their obligations with Chick-fil-A grew, they didn’t see a way to answer the call of their hearts: to serve God through missions. When the opportunity presented itself for them to take separate missions trips, they learned just how creative God truly is.
They began leading separate teams to Niger, in western Africa, and to serve the neediest of all, the children. Through their work with Schools for Niger, Africa, an organization the Bilottis and their business associates started, they found inroads to countless communities throughout Niger. Their work also led them to meet their future son, Rachid, a child they first sponsored and later adopted.
Jason and Haley tell their touching story using alternating perspectives, while also bringing in their grown children to help tell it from their own points of view. In reading this book, you will sense their passion for serving the lost and forgotten, and you will feel the love they have for the people God has brought their way.
The Bilottis’ story, Sink or Sit, will both inspire and empower you to take your own leap. To get out of that boat. To trust that sinking is better than sitting.
