SON Update Report

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your generous support over these past years! We were able to secure enough support by the end of 2023 to make up for our shortfall and pay all of our liabilities!! Now It’s Time!!!

This year of 2024 will prove to be one of “Convergence,” as we learned from Brett Johnson [http://www.brettjohnson.biz/] at our 5^th Annual Marketplace Summit on the National Day of Prayer in Oregon City, Oregon on Thur, May 2, 2013 [https://www.marketplacesummit.org/past-summits.html]. Please take a few moments and review these presentations that laid the foundation for where we are today and what is to come:

Also, this year, Dutch Sheets, via his Give Him 15 - Daily Prayer Updates [https://www.givehim15.com/about], has been stressing the importance for all our Kingdom work to be focused on Revival AND Reformation [http://marketplacecoalition.servingourneighbors.org/events/details/celebrating-oregon-s-165th-birthday-7613] working together, so that we don’t lose the coming Billion+ Harvest of Souls AND we will begin to see strategic & significant Transformation [https://www.transformourworld.org/our-core-values/] of our Society & Culture into our Father’s Kingdom & His Will to be done on earth as it is in heaven! The past great revivals (the Jesus Movement [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_movement] of the 1960-70’s) & renewals (the Charismatic Movement [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charismatic_movement] of the 1960-80’s) did not move into reforming our cities, because most Christians were living as orphans, waiting for the Rapture and did not operate in any understanding of who God, our Father, is AND that we are His sons, who have been commissioned to be “about our Father’s business” AND to fulfill Mark 16:15 [https://www.bible.com/bible/114/mrk.16.15] & Matthew 28:19-20 [https://www.bible.com/bible/114/mat.28.19]! Review our SON Summary Reports for 2022 [http://marketplacecoalition.servingourneighbors.org/events/details/son-update-report-7583] & 2023 [http://marketplacecoalition.servingourneighbors.org/events/details/son-update-report-7600] for what’s coming!

Now, more than ever, we are beginning to see that our Purpose (or Corporate Mandate) is “To Raise Up SONs Who Don’t Run, But Rather Fight for What’s Right!” Then and only then, can Serving Our Neighbors (SON) truly accomplish our Mission, “To Connect, Equip & Engage Leaders to Achieve a Greater Community Impact through Strategic Partnerships!” & fulfill our Vision, “To See a Movement of Leaders Advancing the Peace & Prosperity of Our Communities!”

In order to move forward, our Pappa God, has open the doors for us to re-engage with Chris Overstreet with Compassion To Action [https://www.compassiontoaction.com/about-us], as their Community Collaborator & Volunteer Team Manager for their CTA 2024 at the Oregon Convention Center, Thur-Sat, Aug 29-31 [https://www.compassiontoaction.com/cta24] (wherein in 2018, we had 7,500 believers from 25 nations and 40 states come to our city) and we are planning for 10,000 believers to join us this year in releasing our Father’s Love into the heart of Portland via prayer, worship & outreach on the streets, as well as in the exhibit halls. As we have mentioned before, we have also re-engaged with Patrice & Gina Tsague [https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricetsague/] of the Nehemiah Entrepreneurship Community [https://nehemiahecommunity.com/] (formerly Nehemiah Project International Ministries), as their Marketing & Outreach Coordinator for their Northwest Center, wherein we will be hosting a monthly Connect Meeting at the US Digital Outreach Center [https://www.usdigital.com/outreach] in Vancouver and teaching various trainings with Patrice, such as his new Nehemiah Business Life Cycle [https://nehemiahecommunity.com/nehemiah-business-life-cycle/], coming up LIVE & In Person on Memorial Day Weekend, May 26-27 [https://nehemiahecommunity.com/event/blc-hq-may24/]. Both Chris (a son, who’s work facilitates Revival) and Patrice (a son, who’s work facilitate Reformation) are strategically partnering together to disciple believers & nations! Jenny Donnelly with Her Voice recently highlighted this [https://shorturl.at/bktZ8].
