Rejoice with Me

God has answered many prayers and thankfully a major milestone was passed. I have finally gone public with the ministry of Our Stewardship Community.

That was a major breakthrough so I invite you to rejoice with me. Dozens of internal and external challenges were met.

After years of research, preparing and planning it is time to go public with my dream of launching and leading an innovative educational nonprofit organization.

I have been working for weeks to set up a crowd funding platform for raising the initial seed capital. This will get the ball rolling. I will use the money raised by this first campaign to start to go on road trips to 5 cities and 3 countries. There I will present the vision and game plan for Our Stewardship Community. I will enroll a Launch Team of intercessors, advisers and donors.

Together we will collaboratively create and distribute educational modules that will bring practical education about the basics of agriculture, literacy and Christianity to those in developing countries. We will aim to serve subsistence farmers, orphans and rural pastors. They will access these materials at community centered libraries. There will be basic audio and video recording equipment so that local teachers can teach their people as well as the materials we will provide.

I believe that there will be plenty of college students that will volunteer to assist with this enterprise online. The significant and measurable results will appeal to generous donors. All along the way many will be praying. And answered prayers is the only way I have gotten this far.

This is a huge and complex undertaking that will reach all the way around the globe. We will be bridging the gaps of language and culture as we bring together people, resources and opportunities.

Today I am requesting your very best prayers. Pray for the fund raising goal of only 3 thousand dollars to me not only met but exceeded.

There are some ways you can help me today.

You can go to this blog where I have a list of prayer requests http://oscintercessors.blogspot.com/

You can go to this blog that has links to the short videos and text versions of the presentation. When you get there I welcome your comments, suggestions and questions. http://oscadvisers.blogspot.com/2014/09/links-to-presentations-for-your-feedback.html

You can use this link to go to the crowd funding platform and from there you can share it with those in your social media contact base. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/road-trips-to-relieve-severe-poverty/x/8411792

When you get there then you are asked to give a generous donation. Your money will make a big difference as it is added with others who together get the ball rolling. After others notice some momentum then they will more likely give. Your dollars today will help to convince them to give later.

Together we will provide practical education that will relieve severe poverty for future generations.

Shalom
