We started this web site to support the 14^th and Chestnut Community Center.  They are doing a fantastic ministry and many of us do not have the gift or gifts to work within it.  It is now a year later and our web site has mushroomed.  We have had a high of 20 visitors per day from the United States and 22 foreign countries in one month.

The site has become a ministry for displaced Christians, and you will find many of us watching TV evangelists on Sunday mornings.  The question is why and it is a simple answer.  We are searching for answers to our questions, and the secular church is not providing them only more questions.

A minister friend advised his church would like to set up some programs to work with the college students.  To find the people to do this work he would have to steal them from other churches.  This is where we come in as there are a lot of us displaced Christians, and we have ministers willing to work with families to determine how they can best serve God’s people.

Probably our biggest goal will be to get the United Methodist Church, Volunteers In Mission, and the Church of God, Cleveland, TN, Men and Women of Action and People for Care and Learning to work together on an interfaith basis for projects in Honduras and Russia.  This is quite an undertaking, but we feel it can be accomplished.

The Church of God, Cleveland, TN is the fastest growing church in the world.  This is the result of the work of the Men and Women of Action and People for Care and Learning.  Their activities is what is bringing the displaced Christian back to church.  When you review the photos on our web site for the MWOA projects you see the young to the old all doing God’s work.

It has been said that there are two kinds of church people: the throwers and the goers, and it takes both kinds for a program to be successful.  Those that have the financial resources should help provide both the financial help for those going and the projects themselves.

By allowing God’s Holy Spirit to work through us let’s see what the year will bring.
