“IT'S JUST A MOSQUITO, LET IT GO”!

Yes, you may have seen in our recent Road Show Report an encouraging sign of SCHOLARS ON THE HOLLAR.

What are they hollering for . . . "My Destiny." Inside of every person is a God shaped vacuum. This vacuum is screaming for complete me - complete me. The response many of the youth we're serving in the urban community are hearing - pop-pop-pop . . . it's almost like Ukraine but a Norfolk version. There is an enemy that's attempting to claim the territory of their spirit, soul and body. But we're here to say, "IT'S JUST A MOSQUITO, LET IT GO"!

Dr. Hill (as seen above), our Spring presenter for YESUSA Dream Assemblies, coined this phrase in his riveting three school mini tour to 450+ elementary and middle school scholars and teachers of Norfolk: Jacox Elementary, Tidewater Park Elementary and Southside STEM Academy at Campostella. Just what does this phrase mean?

Dr. Hill was attempting to slap a mosquito while driving his vehicle, he realized his attempt to do so was jeopardizing the wreckage of his automobile . . . not to mention his life and other lives . . . plus their vehicles. Yea, you see it? The distractors in life are setups to take our life's purpose off course. We must keep our focus on ABBA/Father God to arrive safely to our destination and create a safe arrival for others. When we don't, we wreck our mind, will and emotions which leave our bodies ravaged with sickness and emotional disease: anger, fear, emotional trauma, under performance: in school, work, family, even our faith community and city!

This week we continued our Transformational City strategic plan: Campus-Community-City-Country-195 nations with our YESUSA Dream Assemblies featuring Dr. Fairest Hill. The Road Show, last weekend, mobilized 40+ youth and adults to Virginia State University. Media leadership from VSU has agreed to a collaborative "Media Camp." This compliments our Film camp in partnership with Transformation Film Institute (TFI). Can you capture the move of God? The strategy from Father is coming into sharper focus - f64. That's a photography measure indicating great depth of field, meaning everything you see in the photo has DEPTH with greater clarity of focus.

WAR CHEST

Your investment into the WAR CHEST is pushing us to focus on our spring and summer goal of $50,000. We're close to 20% of that goal. Will you sow into the fund so our ALL-IN Football Camps new Media Camp will be completed. Why? We want to continue telling stories in the magazine Kingdom Life Today, capturing the stories you are experiencing on video, documentaries, photo exhibits: We're Still Here . . . We want to SHOW what Father is doing. Why? So, others can join Father in the collaborative work of the Body of Christ through the Community Classroom in Norfolk and 757.

Our ripple effect of impact is 3,700. students (This represents six Norfolk Campuses: Lake Taylor, Booker T. Washington, Ruffner Middle, Southside STEM Academy at Campostella, Jacox Elementary and Tidewater Park Elementary). We call this our TRANSFORMATION CORRIDOR. That's a cost of about $13.50 per child. Will you sow for ONE CHILD, $13.50. Two children - $27.00, Three children - $40.50 - Four Children - $54.00 . . . . How about giving monthly for a child? Your prayers and gifts of love are making a huge impact. 90% of our Road Show seats were sponsored by donors like you! For this we are grateful . . . and now those we are serving are giving to the effort as well.

Let's remember . . .”IT'S JUST A MOSQUITO, LET IT GO”!
