Although the printed resources and the buildings used for this work are great tools, they are not the goal of the outreach. The goal is to help people and it is the volunteers sharing their time with others that will accomplish the goal. If there is no local outreach in your state yet, consider...") | ||||

After that, it can be very difficult for that parent to get the children back from foster care. As we volunteered with the ministry to the homeless, we saw numerous examples of this law in effect. It was another family, they were being evicted from their house and for a single night did no...") | ||||

Regular attendance and participation at village and township meetings is recommended. When purchases are to be made (such as office supplies, tools, or equipment), effort should be made to buy locally if it is possible in order to help the local economy. == Offer Community Activities == As able, it is recommended that the staff open the dining hall on a regular basis...") | ||||

This will be used for evaluations, decision making, and providing services. == Community Life == In many ways, those who are living at a local outreach property at any given time is a miniature community. Each family should have their own private rooms while also sharing common areas such as kitchens and...") | ||||

This help can come in many forms including food, clothing, housing, donations, and counseling. It is recognized that helping the children will often require helping the parents. == Importance of Family == A primary belief of the Mission is that children are better off with their parents than in the foster care system. One of the reasons children end up in the foster care system is when a p...") | ||||
| N 06:27 | Volunteer Positions diffhist +1,475 Elder talk contribs (Created page with "The general volunteer positions at a local outreach will require much less time than the staff volunteer positions. Some will have little or no time directly involved with guests. Therefore, volunteers can have a less stringent interview process and need only be in agreement with the first three points of the simplified statement of faith. Volunteers who are able to work with people / children might want to choose a specific family or child and focus on helping that one...") | ||||
| N 06:26 | Staff Positions diffhist +3,696 Elder talk contribs (Created page with "Just to be clear, the staff at a local outreach are also volunteers, but they are volunteers who choose to be heavily involved and often trusted with leading a local campus. == Local Outreach Trustees == The leadership positions at an outreach will require a large amount of time by those involved. They will generally be the trustees in charge of overseeing an individual outreach location. Also, they will have significant interaction with guests. Therefore, those seeking...") | ||||

Any person or group that denies the Messiah as Savior or which teaches other works are necessary to have eternal life will not be able to act as Staff or Volunteer. === The Battle with Evil === There are both physical and spiritual elements to life. As such, the problems that people have should be dealt with both physical and spiritual methods. The spiri...") | ||||

These people may or may not be believers in the Messiah. They may or may not have terrible backgrounds. We should keep our expectations of them low nor should they be expected to act to any type of high Scriptural standard. Initially, much of the help given will probably come in meeting physical needs rather than spiritual needs. Hopefully, as those needs are satisfied and as they...") | ||||

Over the years, I have benefited from visiting various 'headquarters' and learning how their operation works and how they focus their goals. The Encouraging Life Children's Mission is an eclectic mix of these things including: === Activities for Children === One organization focuses on giving children physical activities as well as education both to help round out their life and to help them us...") | ||||
| N 06:21 | Outreach Grounds and Buildings diffhist +4,785 Elder talk contribs (Created page with "== Appearance == Care and maintenance of the physical structures is a priority both for safety and appearance. Buildings and rooms should be redecorated (such as brighter colors and decorations) to make a child friendly area. It should feel more like a home and less like an institution. Long term, the local outreaches should convert existing dorms into buildings with private bathrooms and working heat. One possibility is painting murals with a scriptural theme on the out...") | ||||
