Changing lives with your trade skills and God's word!
Changing lives with your trade skills and God's word!
THE OBSTACLES TO BECOMING AN EARNER & PROVIDER: Living in poverty often means having limited access to health care, food and housing security, greater risk of school drop-out for children, homeless, unemployment due to lack of education or child care and, unfortunately, not reaching one's full potential. Lack of direction and a mentoring relationship for the young, impoverished or traumatized is the single greatest obstacle keeping people from becoming effective providers for their families. Lack of a moral compass and spiritual foundation adds apathy into their lives and demotivates seeking a way up and out of those circumstances.
THE PROBLEM:
Lack of skill and lack of a spiritual foundation creates a vacuum which is almost inescapable.
A SOLUTION: Mentoring through trade skills creates a foundation to earn and Biblical discipleship creates a solid foundation for decisions making and life growth. There is a need for these key people groups to experience both a DISCIPLING and MENTORING relationship, committed to provide emotional stability, character modeling and demonstrate Biblical truths while imparting trade skills and earning ability.
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 THE STRENGTH OF OUR MINISTRY MISSION:
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!
Our program instructs veterans and active duty military in the art and craft of blacksmithing with the goal of providing a sense of accomplishment, mental and physical well-being, and the knowledge and experience to continue the craft in their own timeline.
Many young people , veterans , formerly incarcerated and people of poverty 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 lessons which are attached directly to work skills, we will enable trades people 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 program 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
It is said that, “In the land of the blind the man with one eye is king!”. Imparting just a little skill and sparking a growing relationship gives some skill and earning potential, but moreso, it gives a vision to that person that they have the capacity to learn, grow, create, become a maker and step into the role of becoming a provider for themselves and their family!
This truth transcends borders and cultures. We are striving to instill biblical training and trade skill mentoring in all areas of need regardless of national origin. Do you have a passions to change lives? All you need to do is bring your heart and your job skills!
Join us to create trade programs, teach within your own workplace or take a short term trip to teach others!
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.
