Many of us have a source of strength to draw from. Where get inspiration and encouragement to carry out our life’s mission. For me, it is the word of God. While it’s important to have excellent work ethics and great relationships, it is of greater importance to honor God in all that I do.
I believe that crowd funding has the potential to help me get where I want NowJax to go. However, I believe that all things are possible to them that believe. Additionally, faith without works is dead. Oh and, I will not get it, if I don’t ask for it. Continue Reading…
I came across a daily confession for the family from Dr. Creflo Dollar, Pastor of the World Changers Church International. Pastor Dollar is a profound teacher and someone that I respect greatly for his work in the Kingdom.Speaking life over my family is something that I do daily…so I thought I would share it with you.
Confess and be blessed!
Love ya!

(Confession over your family)
God’s favor causes my family to increase more and more (Psalm 115:14).
(For the Husband to say):
My wife is blessed and highly favored among women (Luke 1:28).
She is a virtuous woman who prospers in everything she does at home, work, in business and in other affairs (Proverbs 31:10-31).
My relationship with my wife is good; together we have obtained the favor of the Lord (Proverbs 18:22).
He sits in places of authority among other leaders (Proverbs 31:23).
(For the Wife to say):
My husband is blessed and highly favored among men because God is with him (Genesis 39:2; Luke 1:28).
He sits in places of authority among other leaders (Proverbs 31:23).
(Confession over your children)
My children are blessed and well favored of God. They are skillful and wise, and they stand before kings (Daniel 1:4-5, 9).
Like Jesus, my children increase in wisdom, stature and favor with God and men (Luke 2:52; 1 Samuel 2:26; 16:22).
Well, I found another video about the work of Project Turnaround through Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, TX. It’s a few years old, but I’m sure you can see areas where duplication is possible in your community.
The school needed support to curb gang violence
The school needed an opportunity to provide parents with job training
The school needed mentors
The school needed partners to assist in a number of areas
OCBF stepped up in many ways (and continues to). Sure, there is a separation of church and state. However, this doesn’t mean that there has to be a separation of good works from taking place.
Do you see how your church could partner with local schools?
I see a common thread among the ministries engaged in community work. They are being deliberate about meeting the needs of their target community. As miniscule as this may seem, it isn’t. Too often, groups try to aid challenge areas with what they think the solution, as opposed to learning what the needs are that will be more of help and not a hurdle.
On a side note, another key element is the historical reference of the National Adopt A School Initiative to the establishment of the White House Faith-based Community Initiative.
What steps are you willing to take to learn more about meeting the needs of schools in your area?
