Mission Statement This web site is dedicated to the teaching ministry of Jesus Christ and the building of discipleship. Sharing the Word of God, exploring the mysteries and revelations of God, and pursuing a more in depth understanding of the Word of God are my objectives.           Social, Environmental Advocacy & Awareness Recognizing the significant role that humankind must embrace in order to move towards a sustainable environment and eradicate systems that impoverish millions of people is part of the central message this web site embodies. By both encouraging and implementing competent stewardship strategies and refusing to contribute to systems that impoverish,  we can help clothe the poor, feed the hungry, and shelter the homeless while simultaneously protecting our natural resources and sacred places and limiting needless destruction of the earth's ecosystems.    Awareness is key to understanding the plight of our neighbors and the hardships they may be experiencing. Part of this sites mission is to highlight issues that impact millions of people around the globe and that are common to all ethnicities.                                                                                                                                                                                           April is very popular month in terms of the campaigns being presented in helping bring about awareness. This site will only name a few. However, each campaign is important for the health of you the individual, your family, and your communities. Most likely you, a family member, friend, or coworker has been impacted by one or more of the following life changing circumstances and would like additional information. Perhaps you are curious to know more about health and prevention.  Please follow The links for additional information to see how you can participate in the below campaigns. April is National Minority Health Health Awareness Month, National Autism Awareness Month & National Donate Life Month. Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, & National Child Abuse Prevention Month. April has some notable days as well such as EARTH DAY celebrated on March 22nd. Observe this day by examining your lifestyle to see how you can become a better steward of the environment. Maybe you are one who enjoys participating in local events to help clean up the bay, oceanfront, or city parks. Or, perhaps you are one who enjoys making your backyard more eco-friendly by building a habitat that provides sustenance and a safe haven for wildlife. Earth Day can and should be celebrated every day. We can do this by simply conserving energy by adjusting our thermostats, not using the heat or the air conditioning as often, using faucet aerators, or using a shower head that can be switched on and off while taking a shower. All easy ways to conserve energy and celebrate Earth Day year round.  As always, as part of health awareness and responsible living, I would like to encourage anyone who has not been tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) to get tested. If you are sexually active, have been sexually active in the past but have not been tested, or use intravenous drugs or have in the past, please find out your status.  Even in marriage, you are not safe.  We would like to believe we are safe within the institution of marriage, but the reality is that many of us are not. Therefore, I would encourage all married couples to get tested also. Remember, you are protected by privacy laws and no one but you needs to know that you are getting tested--not even you spouse. However, if you should find that you are HIV positive and have received the additional test to confirm that you are HIV positive, or have been affected with another form of STD, it is a moral obligation to report to the health department your sex partner(s) or people in which you have shared needles so that they can get tested. Help stop the spread of all STD's. Help stop the spread of HIV. Don't be afraid to get tested. You may be saving your life and the lives of others.
