Future Visions for V.C.M.

Future Visions for Vine of CHRIST Ministries

The future for VCM. will be vast. There will be a return to providing the needs of the incarcerated and their families, especially the families.

There will be a broadband of provisions and resources provided through our ministry. Almost that of a social service group, but better organized and far less "hoop jumping." We are Christians and are not here to judge people, but to provide their needs through the providence of GOD!

LORD willing, our services will cover all areas of life, from spiritual, emotional, financial and physical. There are future plans for the set up and operations of a mobile clinic, providing both medical and dental needs. These will operate in lower income areas or wherever the need arises.

Eventually, we will begin to broaden our horizons, reaching out to those in need outside of the United States. There are plans on spreading the reach or our emergency relief program around the world. Similar to other organizations already doing this, but with principles set on bringing glory to the precious name of JESUS!!! I'd heard, through a world ministry watchdog, that eighteen months after the Indonesian tsunami, that very little of the donated funds had reached those in need. Herein lies another aspect of our future.

In our future, we will have things set up for a rapid response to disasters. No longer will people have to wait for weeks to begin getting the help needed. We will have the infrastructure set up, where supplies and services can begin reaching disaster areas within 24 hrs., if not sooner!! This is going to be no small undertaking, but with the providence of GOD and the support of the Christian community and volunteers. It will be done!! This isn't coming from a person that hasn't lived through it. I witnessed firsthand how the government and other groups operated. I rode out the northeastern quad. of Rita and counted 15 plus tornadoes close enough to begin sucking in the walls of the house. I also saw that it took 3 days before the first local police car was seen. I'd been out already, making the rounds of the neighbors homes, on a riding lawn mower! Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful for all the help we received, but things have to work faster and smoother. Less paperwork and more action!!!

Herein lies our needs for a large and competent infrastructure. One that knows the needs, has them on hand and has the means to get them where they're needed. There will be numerous headquarters set up, ready before the disaster ever strikes. The transportation and material handling supplies ready. Plus all the skilled and unskilled people to provide those services needed. We will attack these areas like a well practiced military unit. Going in and clearing the way and not leaving until everyone is taken care of.

As this site gets better set up and we get the needs to do so, there will be far more biblical content. But, first things first and that is taking care of our current needs. These include transportation and construction equipment, to do that work needed to get people back into homes. Sure, we are in need of a new computer system, one that will handle the vast amount of information needed to bring this all together and one that can make this site one that will glorify the name of JESUS CHRIST our LORD and SAVIOR. There will be a need to relocate, into a larger, more functional complex, but this too will take place within the future!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll keep us in your prayers! If the LORD leads you to other things, know that, no matter what it is, we will praise HIS most precious and holy name with all our strength.
