Now, let's discuss the upcoming annual board meeting. State and federal regulations require this meeting, where we will vote on various documents that need to be signed by everyone. I will send an email invitation for the closed board meeting, including all the supporting documents for you to review. If you have any concerns or questions in the 30 days before the meeting, please don't hesitate to contact me. I prefer to keep board meetings concise, so we aim to cover the agenda and complete the voting and document signing within 30 to 45 minutes. During these 30 days, I will send you an agenda and all relevant memorandum records to review. So that you know, we will be conducting the meeting according to Robert's Rules of Order. I will explain each document in a memorandum, with a motion number assigned to it that will be included in the agenda. As you look over the organization documents, I want you to please keep in mind that there may be some errors that I still need to address. I welcome everyone's input so that I can correct everything at once. I like to be direct and to the point, and to ensure a smooth process with limited time spent, it is essential to discuss any concerns during the 30-day review phase. Please do not hesitate to call or meet me to discuss your questions.

I wanted to follow up on the e-book about GROWTH I sent a few days ago. The main goal of this e-book is to ensure that our organization is well-aligned and transparent in our operations. It helps us communicate our serious approach to donors and stakeholders and opens up new donation avenues. I'd like to hear any other ideas you might have about helping us. Your innovative suggestions are always welcome, as they can significantly benefit individuals and the organization. The e-book is intended for anyone interested in personal and organizational growth. I've received fantastic feedback from various churches, which has been tremendously helpful for our ministry initiatives. We've achieved 37 downloads during the soft launch, which is promising! You can download the E-book by Clicking Here. Additionally, the e-book has been narrated, taking about 45 minutes, and you can listen to it by Clicking Here. If you're pressed for time, I have prepared shorter video clips for you; each one is about a minute long, see below.

The organization we plan to help with camp this year has decided to collaborate with another ministry in a different state. As a result, we will be hosting our camp, tentatively called Camp Growth, in 2026. The name may change after some meditation and prayers. This year, I will be partnering with Camp Davis International; you can check their website for more information (Click Here). I'll spend one week gathering insights on starting a camp for boys and girls with family members in jail. The following two weeks will be dedicated to assisting with the camp—one week for boys and the other specifically for girls. I will provide more details about the camp at a later date. As we prepare for Camp GROWTH in 2026, please keep it in your prayers. Remember, without prayer, there is no vision; without vision, there are no goals. With goals come tasks; without tasks, there can be no action. And without action, we no longer have an organization. This principle applies to our camp, lives, ministry, church growth, and beyond. I look forward to sharing more updates in the months ahead.

We have a Chaplain (Brian Darden) who has completed all the requirements to serve as a chaplain for the organization. All his information is available in his designated Dropbox folder, which all board members can access for review. To celebrate his successful application, I have ordered a collared shirt featuring our organization's logo on the front and a quote on the back. If you happen to see him, please take a moment to congratulate him on this achievement. Additionally, the other applicant is still progressing through the selection process. Below is a photo of the organization's collar shirt. What is the difference between a minister and a chaplain? Both ministers and chaplains offer spiritual guidance. A minister typically works within a church or religious organization, providing leadership and pastoral care to a congregation. In contrast, a chaplain serves in non-religious settings, such as hospitals, prisons, military units, schools, or corporations, providing support and spiritual care to people in various circumstances. If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!

Thank you for your attention. I look forward to our continued progress together. I have important information below regarding the organization's administrative files, the e-book/audio, and donation options. Please click the links below for easy access:
