Announcing the Launch of Fathers Eyes Ministries

I've spent the last 2 months focusing on Health and Wellness: My physical and mental health, the physical and mental health of my immediate family, My families financial health and my spiritual health. It's been quite a journey that has been slower than anticipated; interrupted frequently by Snow, illness, and other things. However, in this two months I have been introduced to a new respite provider, my uncle is busy getting licensed to be a respite provider. I have been introduced to Deepak Chopra's writings and have learned new ways toward meditation, health, and wellness through those readings. I have also been introduced to Emergen-C which has afforded me more energy than I have had in a while. In the last two months I have witnessed the increase of gas prices, food prices, insurance prices, medication prices. Funny, I have not seen an increase in pay. Imagine that. Makes financial health somewhat challenging.

For the last several months I have been praying over and planning the launch of a new ministry. This began with me obtaining my ordination through Universal Life Church. I still look toward one day being Ordained in the United Methodist Church in the future. However, for now, I answer God's call in the way that I can. I am excited to announce the launch of Father's Eyes Ministries. This ministry will provide:

1. Outreach to persons who for whatever reason feel orphaned or abandoned by the church.
2. Pastoral Care for those who do not otherwise have a pastor and are not for whatever reason ready to make the step toward joining with a church.
3. Officiating of Weddings and Funerals.
4. Speaking engagements as requested.

There is still a lot of work to do. For now, this will be a part time venture to complement/supplement my full time work as a social worker. When the time is right in the next 5-10 years it will hopefully transition into my life work.

I still have lots of business end work to do as funds become available: business licenses, cards, fliers, advertising, website launching and such. However, I am functioning in this capacity and would welcome any referrals you would want to send my way.

Fully Believing God's love is for all of God's creation and that we are to be who God created us to be, I request your prayers as I move forward in answering God's call on my life.
