Our Ministry Vision, Passion, and Call
This will shed clarity, on our a very Pinpointed and Specific Vision Goal that takes center stage of our Ministry purpose. We exist as a Para-Church Ministry connected to the already Established TMCI Missionary Church International. We operate in connection with TMCI, our parent organization as a ministry partner under this establishing partner. We operate under a Group existing EIN, and our ordination group credentials will be available for public review . Therefore our special connection of TMCI is this, we are a Religious organization connected to TMCI, that engages in love, Gospel sharing, Discipleship, Educational training, and teaching, as we go forth and do all works that please God, and this we do freely, in-order to take what He has already given to us into the world to be poured out freely, for sharing the Good News of Salvation with the hungry, we work to distribute traditional educational materials; as well as, the sharing of educational materials with missionaries, with some being crafted specifically by us; such as, flash card style math and science games, to be sent to: overseas missionaries, partner ministries, home school groups, and current church developing after school programs, not to mention, we also have plans to establish, (In the future, after first completing some of our game RnD). We plan to move into, the developing stages, towards our very own after school programs, in several local communities that are lacking.
The above, is best seen as our Vision Statement.
Our Planned Date of Commencement, into Our Passionfire Ministry endeavor, will begin after at least 1 or 2 missionary educator games are completed, for distribution, and sharing via after school help sessions. A hopeful plan to start this is in early (1st Qtr of 2005)
With that said, we also have other less pinpointed and broader goals that go hand in hand with the above vision statement, And this is simply by just being who we are, and serving Christ Jesus with joy.
- There is… Our Call. We are called to Evangelize the Gospel of Jesus Christ using our Resources and Gifts. We recognize these as both Teaching gifts, Worshiping gifts, and also Support/Assisting gifts. All are to be given/shared, where we are directed, in providing support to Missionaries and other Partner Ministries, as led by His Holy Spirit, no matter where they may exist.
- There is… Our Passion. We have a leaning towards a passion for both young students, those struggling in various school subjects, and young Educators. Missional minded Educators often may meet at our house for instruction. God has positioned us, many times in the past to help churches start Children’s Ministries, Discipleship Ministries, Outreach ministries, and more now with our Educational games. We have a Passion for the First Nation Tribes, for Puerto Rico, the Dominion Republic, and other countries and cultures with strong traditions of sharing, and teaching in the Old Ways. Get ready, because that is describing most people, tribes, clans, and groups. Some of our Board members are missionaries that served in education. We work with all that have a passion for others. This includes all that are open to the knowledge of Christ, and all that want to enter into the mission field, In-order to bless the Tribe, of the Lion of Judah and/or any Christian ministry that Glorifies Jesus Christ; as they seek out the Lost, promote the Kingdom of God, and disciple all, in a Life free from falsehoods and lies. We strongly promote and desire for ourselves and others, to be re-connected and filled, with a growing Passionate relationship, with the Father….. we describe this as, … A Passionfire!
- And we recognize… Our Limitations. We understand that we are just a simple non-profit that has a select, limited, and a specific Vision. As Timothy was called to assist Paul, we also, are too assist many others in ministry and in education. And we will serve the Tribe of Jesus, we are members of this tribe, speak the language and teach/discipleship in the blessed Old Ways of God. The Old Ways of God to seek the lost. Therefore, we are, to seek the Lost ones, disciple and share the Love of Christ where we can, serve Missionaries around the world, work with mission teams, serve where we are sent, by assisting select ministry partners, in needy communities where and when we have resources.
- Therefore… We already understand we do not have the resources to distribute (Free Educator Games) to everyone who would like a Free Game. The Reason is …? and Its Simple, because our “Vision: is to assist Missionaries and Communities in need”, and we cannot allow all of our resources that are allocated for missionaries and the needy, to be re-distributed somewhere else that is not, “assisting missionaries” or “helping communities”. This would deplete all of our resources, and we can’t do that! …But you can help. Begin holding us up in your prayers! Or you can begin yourself by doing the same.
- With that being said: Assisting is a vital ministry! And it is often overlooked! This is something that anyone can do. Here are some areas where you can do things by assisting others. You can always seek out your gifts for serving the Body of Christ. And you should start to do it within your own Church, find a Ministry, or a need, in your Community, Serve, or Support; by donating time and/or resources.
- Note: We have Christ Jesus for our all our needs, and we as Christians, will have them met, irregardless of any Earthly Donation. Therefore we are not actively seeking Any Donations from this Earthly Realm. Nor do we wish to do this at all! Or do we believe, that by receiving donations we will accomplish anything for the Kingdom of God. We will trust in what God as He blesses and meets our need, so we are not doing Earthly paperwork things to satisfy Earthly Govt. stuff anyway. Because truthfully, to us, Govt. is that which exists in this Earthly Realm. Now, for those that have a legit educational need, or desire to purchase a game from us, listen up. (We first must complete our RnD, the printing of games, and make them available. If you can need an Educational Game, and even if you are really not a Missionary. We wish to assist you anyway, and we hear your need. But first, you should understand, if God provides a way, then it will happen. And there is a difference between Trusting God, and Trusting in Donations for the purpose of doing things for communities and missionaries that are in need, … and We do not want any Donations. We would rather simply Pay taxes and still fulfill our God calling. We may set up a separate entity for Purchasing something. …Ok… either way we wish to help you, if you have need, and we will pray about and consider a purchasing entity at a later date, you should be helping support missionaries and communities around the World through your prayers and your call to pray and serve your community. If and when we consider creating an entity for purchases, at that time, a huge portion of –ANY– purchase you would make, will (through us) be directed towards Missionary Support through TMCI. Meaning -EVERY- purchase would actually provide a duplicate game, for sending into the missional field or will be placed in a needy educators hands. It must be understood, that any Non-Missional Game purchase; Is considered by us and the IRS, to be treated as something taxable. But, is still (inside of our stated Vision/purpose because we (as the Board or Directors) are giving/any and all profits from future purchases towards needy communities and or missionaries). However, a Purchase (in our view is taxable), and would be this: Simply, what it says it is, a purchase for your own personal use; So, when our games are available, at a later time, you will be directed towards a separate page/entity for purchasing if you wish; (When that time comes with all our RnD completed). Passionfire Ministry, ministry goals, are to set up and establishing within needy communities, desperately needed after school programs/workshops, either inside the U.S.A. or outside of the U.S.A. …Furthermore, just to re-state: (a personal use) purchase, (can’t be considered a donation). Therefore, any game purchase, simply is not going to receive any tax contribution letter. (this is a normal 501-c3 IRS requirement.) And, you should be made aware of this. …So, feel free to consider purchase a game for personal use if/when we decide to create an entity and allow for purchases ….So, when available, 100% of all profits, and anything else, will still be used in supporting Missionaries and community outreach, through the assembly of a duplicate game or setting up as many after school programs that we can. We first and foremost Trust in God’s Kingdom above all to provide for us and our needs. Therefore: we are not accepting Donations. Just know this, with Gods Provision, additional games created, and any additional Missionary support, will be sent by us …Passionfire Ministries Int. (How?) …We will be using established channels of own Missional distribution network through our connection with our parent TMCI. In addition, we Trust God to Provide for: setting up and establishing community after school workshops for kids, providing school supplies for distribution, our needed large scale artwork/teaching displays and sets, any educational props, art expenses, local artist recompense, travel expenses, however, No officer, and or Board Member will receive any compensation or any salary. We Evangelize and Minister and possibly might get a small Honorarium or not. This is a life Call, and not a business.
- Note: Our Games are currently in the Development Stage. None of our Educator Games are available at this time. It takes time to develop and Print up Games; know this, when they are complete, we will provide a direct link just for you, if you have a need. You are important to us. Continue checking back with us. …For now, pray for us to succeed. We are not accepting any Donations yet. We are in start up, However, in the future as we grow, we will consider setting set up a link, or page, with added feature for allowing anyone (to offer prayers and concerns) that help us select the general location, where you would want/or prefer us too geographically, send our support and supplies. And, as for your donations, instead of Donating, simply Trust that God himself will supply our needs. Thank you, Mark and Karen.
Note: not excepting donations.
