Soldiers for the Kingdom Boot Camp
We see the need to help people who are down and out. The best witness to someone who is at the bottom
is from someone else who has been there.
We feel the Lord wants us to raise up an army of soldiers from the
streets to take back the streets. We
feel the Lord is calling us to the heart of Texas to start this and we need
your help. We need volunteers to go to
the streets with us, we need financial partners to set up a facility, we need a
volunteer staff to teach, train, and love these people as they get their lives
back together.
God has
showed us that these people need much more than what they get from social
services or a 30 day treatment program.
They so desperately need to receive Jesus into that big empty God hole
that they try to fill with drugs, alcohol, sex, gangs, crime, and hate. They need to learn the true love of God; how
to give it and how to receive it. To so
many of them, love is a form of sexuality or lust that when they are loved with
the true love of God it is a life changing experience. They need discipline in their lives. Most of the time when a person is disciplined
properly, they see that as a form of compassion and love. Almost every time a person is into crime or
rebellion it is because they are looking for attention in the way of
discipline. They need direction in their
lives. They will be taught life skills
such as; every resident will learn how to cook and be on a rotation for cooking
the meals. Every resident will learn
basics of car care like changing a tire, checking the fluids and changing the
oil. Every resident will learn the
basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic’s while they are enrolled and they
will have a class on budgeting their money, balancing a check book, and
interviewing for a job. God has showed
us that many of these wayward people have a strong calling on their life to be
in ministry. The last part of the vision
is that it must be free and available to anyone who is serious about changing
their life.
