The PROBLEM – National & Local
NO vision
“Where there’s no vision (God’s Word & Design) people cast out restraint.”
Proverbs 29:18
NO stability
3/4 children’s homes have no father present. Often these children and families are living in survival mode.
NO hope
Financial (generational), Emotional (imbalance), Academic (apathy/failure), Relational (dysfunction/disrespect)
The SOLUTION – Child/Mother “Connections”
God’s Word
“So faith comes from hearing the Word of Christ.” Romans 10:1
“The Word is “profitable for teaching.” 2 Timothy 3:16
Mentorship Team
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2
There are 59 “one-anothers” in the Bible!
Time (9 years)
Jesus (God in the flesh) modeled that deep connections over time are a vital part of people development.
The Desired OUTCOME
Vision (God-Size)
P.A.R.K.S. their life in the secure “Garage” of God’s way and God’s design. (soul thirsts for God – Psalm 42:1)
Stability (Rooted)
Long term socio-economic transformation happens best in a “natural mentor” relationship (not mentor program).
Hope (Temporal & Eternal)
“For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE.” Jeremiah 29:11
