A SOLUTION:
There is a need for young people to experience both a DISCIPLING and MENTORING relationship, committed to provide emotional stability, character modeling and demonstrate Biblical truths.
YOUR TRADE IS YOUR STRENGTH: Through your trade, craft or profession, even in very short interactions, you can become: a reflection of our Heavenly Father, a disciple maker (like a Barnabas) to teach them spiritually, a mentor to teach them character and a master crafts person to teach them skill.
BIBLICAL OBJECT LESSONS ATTACHED TO YOUR TRADE IS OUR STRENGTH
We create and attach customized life lessons and Biblical principles to the tasks of your trade as conversational interactions, to impact the lives of those in great ways!
Many young people including returning veterans and formerly incarcerated people find themselves as a crossroad. Finding purpose involves more than just a job skill. The character development found in biblical principles and building the relationships to be able to communicate these life lessons can be greatly enhance through consistent workplace mentoring.
Relationships build trust, and only after trust is established can truth be poured into the the life of another. In response to the need for investing employable skills, positive character and biblical principles into young lives, our mission is to provide personalized trade specific discipling and mentoring object lessons as tangible marketplace ministry tools.
By equipping and training the business and trades person to utilize their skills and trade specific tasks, we can enable you to disciple and mentor others. Activating those in the workplace to impact lives for today and eternity.
By using our object lessons which are attached directly to your work skills, we will enable you to invest more than skill and ability. Pouring God's Word and principles into the lives of others through your professional skills will reinvigorate your passion for what you do.
Our ongoing curriculum development needs skilled professionals to help us expand the fields we can impact with principles from God's word. Will you partner with us? Call us at (203) 578-5480 or email Forgingfoundations@gmail.com
Trust only comes after a relationship is built. Spending time in an area of common interest. Our programs are written with specific attachments to your trade to facilitate relationship building.
God never asks us to bring more that He has already given us. You have professional skills and we have Biblical object lesson creation skills. By combining what we have, you can pour timeless truths into the life of someone else.
Through mentoring and discipling programs, small business owners, trades people and crafts people can develop a well trained and skilled apprentice and foster a succession plan to transition their experience, skill and business to the next generation.
Working directly with you, we develop a personalized curriculum to create small interactive and easy to use training modules. These modules directly link Biblcal principles to the tasks of your trade. Instead of losing productive work time, the program creates seamless object lessons written in a conversational manner that ties what you are doing with life changing dialog.
