One of our visions is to find two locations to host satellite churches or meeting places. This initiative is based on the fact that some family members or individuals returning from prison have difficulty in group settings and prefer small groups. I hope that with these satellite locations, they will feel comfortable coming to watch live streams from different churches throughout the country.
We can also invite pastors to come in, teach lessons, and mentor the participants. Due to the unique backgrounds of the participants, this program will not be open to the public and requires special attention for former inmates. The locations will be appointment-only, allowing individuals to work on resumes and job applications and apply for state and federal assistance. We have two Chromebooks, a good printer, and basic internet access.
We have games and toys for the kids to keep them entertained while their parents are busy. Most importantly, we want to provide food. We will have "Foodie" options for kids and families to enjoy good meals. If you want to know more, you can Google Ninja products.
This is a long-term vision, and I ask everyone to pray for it. I plan to start using these locations after camp next year. In the meantime, I have begun the planning stage and assessing the costs involved.
Regarding this vision, knowing that a God-given vision is the foundation for setting meaningful goals is essential. Without these goals, we lack direction and the necessary tasks, leading to disorganization and inefficiency. As we embark on this journey, I kindly ask everyone to pray for this initiative. Your support is invaluable. Thank you, and may God bless you all!
