BACKGROUND
• Our nation and our people are in crisis – we have a society of marginalized groups
• The Father Heart of God wants these people to be loved, nurtured, trained and uplifted
• There are 5 players God has put on the field [THE BIG FIVE] who need to work together to facilitate this
OUR NATION IN CRISIS
• The nation has shifted into a serious spiritual, moral, ethical, and political crisis
• Many people have reached a precarious tipping point into despair and hopelessness.
• Government needs help to be effective in eradicating crime and poverty in our society
OUR PEOPLE IN CRISIS
• There is crisis amongst our families, our Business world, our Education system, our Social Welfare Services and so on …unemployment, poverty, AIDS, crime, corruption, the undermining of marriage, disintegration of the Family unit, racism, sexism, xenophobia and the electricity/fuel/food crisis to name but a few.
• Many people have come to a place of serious concern and anxiety and believe we have a corporate obligation to do something. In fact, many works have already started, but need exposure to achieve maximum effect.
