The PROBLEM – National & Local
NO vision
“Where there’s no vision (God’s Word & Design) people cast o 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.”
Rom.10:1
The Word is “profitable for teaching.”
2 Tim. 3:16
Mentorship Team
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
Gal.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 – Ps.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.”
Jer.29:11

Silent Night
Singing Silent Night by candlelight at the midnight Christmas Eve service is one of my favorite events of the year. There is something about coming together in the dimly lit church singing “all is calm, all is bright,” and reflecting on the unconventional birth of our...
