GOD EXTENDS HIS HANDS TO THE MOST VULNERABLE

Heavenly Bridge Ministries strives to make a difference in the lives of Africa’s most vulnerable children, women, and marginalized groups through supporting, equipping, and training them in skills that apply to their daily lives while keeping in mind that education is key to long term change in Uganda and in Africa as a whole.  They are offering hope for today and tomorrow's generation.

Founded by Pastor S. A. Moses, Heavenly Bridge Ministries strongly believes that Jesus Christ is the only bridge between God and man and that we should share that with the suffering world.

In the Old Testament, David’s brother, Eliab, tried to stop David from confronting the giant, Goliath.  In response David said to Eliab, "Is there not a cause?" (1 Sam. 17:29)

Heavenly Bridge Ministries believes there is a cause of concern today when we see:

• Families going without food.
• Gifted students unable to go to school because of lacking means.
• Children raising babies when both or one of the parents has died from AIDS.
• Young girls caught in the sex slave trade of the 21st century.
• Young boys in war zones as child soldiers.
• The list goes on and on.

Heavenly Bridge Ministries quickly recognized that education is the key to long term change in Uganda and Africa. Thanks to you, the friends and partners of Heavenly Bridge Ministries, more children are being provided with quality education they would have otherwise gone without. Also, their families and hundreds of people in their communities are receiving help in the form of food, medical assistance, and the Word of God.

With this in mind, Heavenly Bridge Ministries utilizes the concept that if you teach a man to fish, he will never go hungry. This ministry has put in place programs that provide children with both the Word of God and the skills they need to support themselves and others in the future.

This ministry reaches out to orphans and to misfortuned children, those who have lost their family members due to HIV/AIDS, children who have suffered the traumas of war, and children who come from needy homes.  In this way, Heavenly Bridge Ministries is giving them a hand with which to combat and is raising strong leaders for tomorrow’s generation. 

Pastor Moses graduated from Christ For the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas.  Bishop Gabe, the moderator of this blog, has personally known Pastor Moses for more than ten years.  He knows him to be a man of integrity.  He possesses a real passion to enlarge the Kingdom of God and is a nation shaker.

Update:  Pastor Moses will be preaching in the 10 o'clock service on Sunday, August 19, 2012 at The Revival Center in Paso Robles, California.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE PROSPERITY AND SUCCESS
OF HEAVENLY BRIDGE MINISTRIES.
PRAY THAT GOD WOULD SUPERNATURALLY INTERVENE ON THEIR BEHALF.
THANK GOD FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF STANDING BEHIND AND SUPPORTING THIS WORK THROUGH YOUR PRAYERS AND FINANCIAL INVESTMENT.

IRENE JOHNSON, PRIMEMERICA MANAGER

Irene Johnson

Primerica Financial Services

Primerica found me in 1989. I was managing a family deli in San Luis Obispo. We were struggling. A bank teller in San Luis Obispo asked me if I would be interested in earning more money. I said yes. I knew that the deli would not be able to survive and that I would want to do something after we closed the business.

When I first looked at Primerica, I understood the concepts and the opportunity of having my own business, so I decided to do it. Primerica always includes your partner if you have one, so I hired by husband, Marshall.

One of the ways to becoming successful in Primerica is to build a team. I hired my husband, my son, and later on my granddaughter, Christine. After being a part of this great company, I found many Christians within the company. God has always had His hand on this company. Many of the people that belong to Primerica are Christians so we found a good fit.

In the twenty plus years I have been here, I have learned many things about finances. To think that I had lived over half of my life never having anyone explain the concepts and strategies to becoming financially independent.

Some of the rewards, beside monetary, are the wonderful clients that I help to become financially independent, or just guiding them to have what they will want or need when they retire.

But most of all, it is the team we have and friendships we have built. It has been great working and building the relationships we have with each other.  You can see the team here on this blog:  Kevin Gracie, Dottie Gracie, Ruben Ruiz, Juan Espinoza, Christine, my son Marshall, and of course, my husband of sixty-one years. He is always supportive and positive.

We recently moved our office into The Revival Center’s old office. What we need now are more associates. It seems that we have not been able to accomplish this yet, and we definitely could use some prayers to help us. We would like to have at least twenty new people. Hopefully, with the help of prayers and hard work, we can accomplish this task.

I will look forward to God’s answer to our prayers. Thank you for your help. God bless you.

DOTTIE GRACIE

Why I do what I do:

What a joy I receive when I can offer hope and help to people in their financial need through Primerica.

I have over thirty years experience in banking, over twenty years in tax preparation, and ten years with Primerica.

With my financial experience in banking, tax preparation, and the Primerica business opportunity, I am able to understand my clients' issues and I am able to find and offer them the best solutions for their needs.

Through Primerica, I am able to show clients how they can become debt free, financially independent, protect their family against unforeseen circumstances, and show them how they can earn extra income through the Primerica business opportunity. This opportunity is presented every Tuesday at 7pm at 715 - 24th Street, Suite R, in Paso Robles, California.

I love helping people find a solution to issues in their lives that make them and their families uncomfortable.

Families today need freedom from worry, depression, and fear concerning their present and future lives.

I believe this is my God-given purpose in life and what a joy I feel when I can help a family be filled with love, joy, and peace because they are worry-free!

KEVIN GRACIE

Hi, my name is Kevin Gracie. I have lived in San Luis Obispo County (California Central Coast) for most of my life. I currently live in Paso Robles, California. I attended and graduated from Cuesta College 2000. In 1999, I completed my studies as a tax preparer and recieved my certification with the State of California.

In 2003, I joined Primerica, because I saw the financial need of individuals and believed in Primerica's core principles. Primerica's principles are to help people become debt free, financially independent and properly protected. So many middle-income families go through life without a financial plan or a financial road map and that’s why many of us retire broke. Here at Primerica, our main focus is to help middle-class American families retire financially indepent, debt free, and properly protected.

Because we see the need for education, we are offering FREE one to two hour classes every month on different topics such as INVESTING, RETIREMENT, and GETTING OUT OF DEBT.  Our company is focused on teaching people how money works right at the client’s kitchen table in the comfort of their own home. The education we provide individuals allows them to make IMPORTANT financial descions about their future.

Please pray for our Paso Robles office as we want to help as many people as we can to get out of debt and start their road to financial freedom!  Because of the state of our economy, there are thousands of individuals who need our help. We are also looking for self-motivated individuals who are looking for a full or part-time career. No experience needed!  We will train you!

For more information, you can contact us at  805-464-6664 or stop by and see us at 715 24^th Street, Suite R, Paso Robles, California.

RUBEN RUIZ

Hi, my name is Ruben. I've been living on the Central Coast for the last ten years. Early in my life, I was given the gift of a college education from my parents who believed that higher education was one of the greatest investments a person could receive. Spending several years getting an architectural degree has been one of my greatest accomplishments in my life. However, I felt most of the knowledge that I received was only useful to a small sector of my life.

I came across the Primerica opportunity early in my career. I instantly fell in love with the reality that I could own my own business by helping everyone I knew become financially independent. In the few months that I spent learning the business, I was able to transfer key strategies and information to those closest in my life. The implementation of such concepts has helped dozens of individuals with real experiences that often come across one’s life.

Primerica has given me the opportunity to help those who are in financial need -- from simple solutions to more advanced strategies.  Primerica has provided me with a home away from home, filled with extended family who have one thing in common -- helping hard working families like YOURS become debt free and financially independent. Our team effort and wide range of knowledge has given us the tools to help you realize your goals and dreams. But our greatest gift to you is that you will never be alone in your journey towards financial freedom.

I invite everyone to join us in our quest. More importantly, I wish everyone a prosperous and successful life. We’ll see you at the top!

JUAN ESPINOZA

Hi, my name is Juan Gabriel Espinoza. I was born in Mexico and attended school in Mexico until my second year of high school and at that time I decided to leave Mexico and move to California. In September 1993, at the age of seventeen, I moved to Cambria, California. I enrolled in English classes at Cuesta College to improve my communication skills while working at a restaurant until 2009. I continued my English classes after I married and continued and completed my English classes when my first child started school.

My employer, Mr. Blume, owner of the restaurant where I was employed, offered to send me to Culinary Arts classes and offered to pay for part of my education. Life has many challenges and I am not sure what the future holds for me as I have had two surgeries to remove two brain tumors. I am not sure if I will be able to continue my experience in the restaurant business. 

Around 2007, Kevin and Dottie Gracie sat down with me and showed me how life insurance protected families and explained the benefits of a retirement account. I decided to open my retirement account at the time, because I could see how my parents and other friends at the age of sixty-two and older had no money to live on. 

Shortly after that, my first tumor was discovered and my first surgery was performed. Now I do not qualify for life insurance. At that time I did not understand how important it is to protect the family as you do not know what the future holds for you. I understand now how important it is to share my experience with others and for them to remember their loved ones. Do not leave your family unprotected! You must plan for your future and your family's future. Because of my health issues, I have decided to join Primerica and do the business opportunity. Now I can share my own personal experience and teach the people the importance of the services that Primerica offers such as:

• Protecting your family from unseen events in your life.
• Saving for the present and the future.
• Becoming debt free. Owing nothing!

Because of my own personal experience, I beg you to please think about your family now, your future, and your family's future. Do not pass by the opportunity to show your family how much you love them by doing what is right!

I am presently studying to get my State Life Insurance License so I can help people understand how important it is to protect their family.

Do not leave yourself and your family unprotected. It is important to do the right thing!!!  DO IT NOW!!

CHRISTINE JOHNSON

Hi there!  My name is Christine.  I’ve lived on the Central Coast almost all of my life and consider myself a “native” to this wonderful area.  I was attending Cal Poly State University San Luis Obispo full-time when I became a member of the Primerica family.  I graduated from Cal Poly in December 2002 with my Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies and Childhood Development and had high hopes of starting my career in education.  However, due to the downward economy and several schools closing, teaching jobs were scarce. 

I soon discovered that I was on a different path than I had originally intended.  I focused my teaching abilities on educating people about how money works.  Rather than teaching a classroom of 20-30 students, I found myself teaching people how money works while sitting at their kitchen table.  I’m so grateful to work with such an amazing company as Primerica and for the opportunity to earn an income and build a business. The gratification I receive after showing families the light at the end of their dark tunnel is more than I could ask for.

Primerica provides a complimentary "Financial Needs Analysis" to each client to show them where they are today and what they need to do to achieve their financial goals and dreams. After providing my clients with such an informative tool, I know they are on their way to financial success! Primerica has given me the opportunity to build a business while learning how to save money, get out of debt, and properly protect my family and nest egg.  Everyone needs to know the concepts Primerica teaches!

We are on a mission to spread the awareness of how money works and to teach people the simple financial concepts in order to live a financially stable life.  Please pray for Primerica and for the expansion of our local office in Paso Robles, California.

Thank you and God bless!

BETTER DADS

 Bestselling author and speaker Rick Johnson:  "I believe families, communities, and our society can grow stronger when parents begin to realize the unique power and influence we have in the lives of our sons and daughters. This goal is reflected both in the books I've written and through Better Dads, a fathering skills ministry that now equips both men and women to become better parents, spouses, and leaders."

Better Dads is a fathering skills organization dedicated to helping people in the community by offering education in fathering, parenting, and family relationships. We believe that good fathers and good men make a difference in our society. However, we recognize that people who have grown up without a positive male influence in their lives do not understand how to pass that legacy on to the next generation.  Foundationally, we believe changes will happen through promoting and championing responsible fatherhood in men, growing boys to become good husbands and fathers, and providing positive male role models and mentors for fatherless boys.  

God has endowed fathers with the awesome power to influence people’s lives—for good or bad—for generations merely by the things they do and say today.  You may not think you are all that special, but your children desperately need what only you can give them—a father.

Better Dads was founded by author and speaker, Rick Johnson. Rick's books have expanded his ministry to include influencing the whole family with life-changing insights for men and women on parenting, marriage, and personal growth.  Inspiring and equipping through innovative multimedia presentations and seminars, Rick's resources, methods, and personal approach have been transforming men, women, and their families for over nine years.

AND THE DYNAMIC MINISTRY

HE HAS WITH FATHERS.
IT IS MINISTRY LIKE HIS THAT WILL

CHANGE THE WORLD.

Daja is wife to Gana, mother of seven, childbirth educator, and doula.

Both Kristina and Daja are stay-at-home, homeschooling moms, whose passions are home and hearth.

The Provision Room is where two friends, Kristina and Daja, blog about food, frugality, and being prepared.  Click here and take a look around!  You can track our progress of transforming our messy and not-too-well planned pantries into abundant storehouses (without increasing our food budgets!), get healthy menu plans and recipes, and even take a stop in the prayer closet to spend some time praying for your family.  Don’t forget to meet our merry band of homemaking readers in the Apron Brigade!  Be sure to “Follow” the page because there’s new stuff all the time.

Daja:  "Kristina and I have been friends for about four years.  As Anne said of Diana, she’s a kindred spirit.

"It’s truly a treasure when you meet someone who shares your passions.  In my case–my children, my home, and cheese.  We both love cheese.  Oh, and bread.  Homemade bread with amazing crust.  And chocolate.  Good chocolate, don’t try to buy us off with a Hershey bar.  We want the real stuff.  And while you’re out, pick out a nice bottle of wine to go with the bread and cheese.  Thanks, honey."

2 Moms, 1 Mission

To prepare our homes—kitchens, pantries, and gardens—to be ready in case of emergencies or unexpected life changes.  To do so, we will not increase our food budgets, nor cause our family to subsist on bread and water.  We will strive for the following ideals:

~Real Food
We will not recommend you go out and buy food-like substances just because they have a shelf life.  We will learn to make Real Food last.

~Organic, local and sustainable whenever possible
This is not always possible, but is a lot more possible than people think.  We’ll try to show you how we feed our families while being true to our values.

~Frugality
We will search out things that are genuinely good deals and not just short term solutions.  We will strive to be good stewards of the family finances.

~Environmentally friendly
We will try to find ways to store our food and stock our pantries without resorting to a bunch of disposables that overfill already overfull landfills.

~Transparency

We will not act like we have all the answers and will show you our mistakes and learn to laugh at them!

Beginning March 1, we are having some great give-aways.  The first week is a $50 gift card to Azure and an autographed book, Year of Plenty by Craig L. Goodwin.  Each week in March there will be a different and fantastic give-away!

Be sure to visit each week as we announce new giveaways

AND GRACE WILL FLOW THROUGH THEM.
