Light Speed
The light speed project is designed to address the
people for whom most family building material is designed to minister
to, those of us in the fray of life, caught in circumstance, or
life's dangerous crossroads.
To be specific, the actual directives here are those
under investigation of abuse or neglect, and those currently living
in a less than desirable home life situation.
The people we seek to minister to in this project
specifically are the beloved brothers and sisters that maybe
married a little too young, or had children before they were ready
or for whatever reason are unable to rise to the standard of family
living that children need to survive or grow appropriately. I
heard someone say, "Oh, that sounds like social work, and
that is not my job."
Let me encourage you to read you Bible again.
And if you think 3,000,000 children in foster care is bad, wait
until you see what's happening with the Clinton disassembly of
the welfare nation. We are in the roll-over period where many
will no longer receive food and rent from Uncle Sam. Some of which
haven't seen a normal working environment for several generations.
Talk about turning up the heat! Most families find they are more
stressed and less functional under circumstances of financial
instability.
Anyway, some of us need to step up and take the
initiative to help. It's that simple. Some of these families will
require good family building resources, others will require character
building material, and almost everyone will require the love and
word of God. Unfortunately, many will not be able or even
willing, (at first) to pay for such resources, but we all know
they need us at the speed of light. So it is with this in heart
that we at J.C.'s Lighthouse endeavor to network those extensive
resources into the American foster/adopt program, at no charge
to the affected. In this, we may save children, even entire families
from worldly actions that sometimes result from such harsh environments.
We would offer information to everyone we encounter
as to the availability of our networked resources, and the usual
routes to acquire them. This would make those valuable Christian
resources known throughout all of our other ministries. Some of
those ministries recruit new families in areas of foster and adopt.
This would further the strength of existing families that open
their home to the immense need for foster homes. We believe the
Word of God, His instructions, and other works that reflect that,
might help out quite a bit (or so we pray). We began our great
acquisition of resource with the modern day saint, Dr. Dobson
and his Focus on the Family approach. All praise and glory
to God, they have signaled support of the program! That means
we are well on our way to 1 million free resources ultimately
being offered in this one program.
Now we are beginning requisition of other resources
that will compliment this effort as well as networking these resources
into the areas that need them. At any rate soon you can be sure
we will be asking...
"What are you doing to help your community's children?"
Please pray for this effort!
