The Beginning

While EDGE Outreach ministries is, as of yet, only a vision and dream the steps to
make it reality have begun. As of Feb. 16, 2010 the money was spent and the process started to make EDGE Ministries a legally recognized nonprofit ministry!!!! Our next step will be to file for 501c3 tax exempt status. We have been told that it will take approximately 3-4 weeks to get our legal nonprofit Inc. status and then an additional 4-6 weeks to get our 501c3 tax exempt status. Please be praying for us that the process will go faster then expected and without problems or setbacks.
I thought I would let you know a little about myself and my family and so I posted to the right some information that may help you to know us a bit better.
As for the name EDGE, God laid this name on my heart almost 2 years ago. EDGE stands for the four phases of outreach ministry ~ Evangelize Desciple Grow and Equip believers. Everything EDGE does and will do, will be desgined around these four pirnciples. It is our desire and calling to minister to both the church body and to the lost alike. As a result we will be activly praying for God to show us ways in which to partner with and assist other ministries.
I am excited to see what the Lord does over the next year. God is reminding me that even though EDGE Ministries is about to be up and running that it is still all done in His time and acccordingto His Will. Please be praying for the easy start up of this new ministry and for myself and my family as there are, and will be, many hard challenges for us to face in the near future.
About a week or two ago God laid this statement on my heart ~ “Mercy for the Needs”. After talking about it, thinking about it and even trying to forget it, thedecesion was made. The first part of the operating slogan for Edge Ministries will be “Mercy for the Needs”. God immediately built upon this by dealing with my wife on the second half of our slogan ~ “Gaining Ground for God”. These two statement sum up our mission. “Mercy for the needs, Gaining Grounf for God”
Please pray that God will provide the finances needed to begin meeting the many needs of both the lost and the church. More will be added to this blog site shortly, including a link for those whishing to support us financially.
