Visionaries

Being around people of vision is incredibly gratifying. Being around people who are vision killers are incredibly draining. Being a person of vision is something I desire to be. 


This past week I had conversations with three different people that have great vision from God for the future. As we have shared together I have been encouraged to keep pushing in deeper to follow His leading. All three of these people came to me to ask how they could bring their ministries and vision together with our Boaz vision.


These three people represent two different churches here in Fredericton. These folks all shared the same thing, that they wanted to be able to partner their people with our present and future ministries. It seems they are discovering that they want to be active in reaching the lost and we are a ministry that is very active in this on a regular basis.
As we met as a staff today we continued to talk about vision and what our next steps are. Here are some of those things:

  • development of an after school program for our Hawkins St. ministry
  • involve more and more people in the preparation and delivery of food to our Hawkins ministry
  • have a permanent location in the downtown core in partnership with local churches
  • find a location to provide hot meals for students at least once  a week
  • developing new merchandise to be able to promote the ministry
  • empower others to be involved in Christian mentoring relationships with hurting teens and children
  • take a mission trip to identify a location to adopt a village
  • make a more concerted effort to reach hurting teens by having other outreach locations
  • partnering in new relationships with others with the same heart we have
  • planning and providing a self esteem workshop/seminar with well known people as guest speakers
  • having a greater presence at local level by attending concerts and showcasing the ministry, This includes new promo videos and brochures
I believe that God has big things planned for Boaz. There is much work ahead and exciting days await us!
