Thank the Pastors, Educators, in-country staff, James, Justin, Shelia, and Daniel.

“Planting SEEDs of HOPE… Harvesting a platform for sustainable transformation” To borrow the words from the Pastor’s devotional on yesterday evening, the VT you are currently on is not about information, rather transformation With that in mind, I’m excited and grateful for the opportunity to present the AART’s long-term strategy for partnership. It’s called The Village Movement What is TVM? - It’s a global discipleship platform where together we are “Planting SEEDs of HOPE”…while “Harvesting a platform of sustainable transformation”

“Global Discipleship through Covenant Partnership” The Village Movement “Global Discipleship through Covenant Partnership” TVM is all about Global Discipleship through Covenant Partnerships It’s about aligning the 3 C’s of Compassion with the 3 C’s or pillars of communities of African Descent

Purpose Statement “It takes a Village to raise a child” “Releasing children from global poverty, holistically, through the local church in communities of African descent one child, one family, one community at a time.” “It takes a Village to raise a child” – African Proverb TVM is based off of the African Proverb… It’s purpose is… I like to describe it this way…concentric circles

Global Discipleship “Planting SEEDs of HOPE in the local church and surrounding community for sustainable transformation in Jesus’ name” And we accomplish this call to Global Discipleship through the SEED model of ministry with an emphasis on global and local ministry. The SEED model of ministry focuses on encouraging, equipping, and challenging a local congregation or student body to grow in four key areas… Stewardship by investing financially and holistically we provide hope for the present (Ministry of the Will…Matt 6:33) The commitment to service the needs of children and families in Jesus’ name When God has your will He has everything else – time, talents, tenths, etc. Encouragement/Enrichment by communicating consistently we provide hope for the present (Ministry of Presence…Heb 10:25) The commitment to be present How can you show up for the children and families in your concentric circle? Evangelism/Missions by engaging spiritually we provide hope for the future (Ministry of Reach…Acts 1:8) The commitment to witnessing locally and abroad How can you reach children and families inside and outside of your concentric circle? Discipleship by living a life of inclusivity we provide hope for the present and future generations (Ministry of Invitation…Matt 28:18-20) The commitment to posterity thru holistic child development How can you invite children and families into your concentric circle to live life together holistically along The Way while developing global disciples to become global leaders?

Mutual respect and benefits… Visible outcomes... Covenant Partnership Mutual respect and benefits… Visible outcomes... Based on our philosophy of partnership… What do I mean by Covenant Partnership? (4 Criteria) Founded upon our identity in Christ Seeks mutually respectful and beneficial relationships Humility, service, empowerment, and sharing of resources (including finances) Emphasizes trust, communication, and unselfishness Accepts mutual responsibility and commitment Produces visible transformation and outcomes (the work that we do together should be greater than the work we would accomplish a part) Any questions about covenant partnership?
