Breaking the Cycle…..
When we build bridges of serving and restoration, then can those who are vulnerable, marginalized, and pushed away be healed, restored, and guided to have hope for their Futures….
BRIDGES – Colab with NPOs, NPCs and Churches
Woman
Men / Young Guys
Focus: Men….
90 % of all people imprisoned are male.
80 % of these men grew up without a proper role model or mentor figure.
A lack of guidance in their lives, showing them how to care for their families and teach them how to work hard and succeed in life, resulted in a continuous cycle of fatherless generations with no hope.
We have to break the cycle…
Focus: Woman….
We believe that women in poor communities often suffer from poverty, the result of various factors stemming from cultural indifferences by men to accept responsibility for children conceived by them.
They suffer when their men are being imprisoned, often the result of substance abuse and economic pressures these women then become the ‘dumping place’ for problems and unwanted children: the direct result of poverty and crime.
Focus: Bridges….
We believe NGOs/NPCs/non-profits and the Church should focus on where they are called to, as we are all role players in our local community, aligned to make a difference.
However, interaction and support between the organizations are crucial.
When we work together, we can achieve more… When we empower people, they reach greater heights than we can alone…
“
Lao Tzu once said, ‘Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
We believe it should be….
‘don’t just give a man a fish, but teach him how to fish and then teach him how to SELL the fish, and you will feed him and his generations to come.’”
Get involved….. Become what God has called you to be…. Bring HOPE…….
