Just a Step Ministries is a "Para-Church" ministry aiding and connecting those around the globe on this mission that is our Lord’s.
The vision of Just A Step Ministries is a Global Retreat Center located in the United States that exists to host and minister to ministers from around the globe for rest and growth, sabbaticals, retreats, teaching, conferences, etc. as well as to serve the church by discipling and sending missionaries along with local outreaches to the homeless, widows and orphans.
Our current pursuit is a preparation for a year of traveling outreach to churches and ministries and individuals across the Americas that we may establish a network of resources and partners to then upon return draw from in order to purchase land and build upon it in our pursuit of continued retreat ministry with those very contacts.
*An expression of the full vision for that land and this ministry upon it long term can be accessed with the link below.*
* the Pilgrimage Mission is:
*The vehicle of enactment concerning the unique obedience of some to that call of abandon. …It is simply encouraged surrender and supported discovery of what God’s call is upon the heart of the currently restless.
It is actually selling all the possessions, it is tent making, …it is believing in the divine appointments and seeking them out. The pilgrimage Mission is actually going when God says go and trusting in Him to literally provide all things and so He has called the Pilgrim to do.
The Pilgrimage Mission is for those who have been called to go they know not where and to do they know not what and are yet driven to fight and unable to sit still… it is for the bold, the radical in faith- those compelled by an inner voice so significant it overpowers anything else and remains in accordance with the Scripture.
* the Listen. Love. ShareHope campaign is:
Traveling to where God leads us.
Asking people about their lives and Listening.
Meeting with people over coffee, meal, and activity to befriend and begin a relationship with them.
Sharing a meal with them and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them.
Connecting people to local congregations that will come along side them and disciple them.
Preaching when led.
Teaching when led.
Baptizing when led.
Praying with, over, and for people.
Discovering God by letting go of comforts and distractions to hear, see, feel, experience, and understand Him deeper.
* Purple Cross Events are:
Versatile events comprised of various expressions of God’s reality, presence and power designed to engage and unite believers with those whom God has placed around them.
Churches, Parks, Homes
Outdoor, Indoor
These Events are Just a Step Ministries’ team members and local ministry personnel coming together to be available to the public through event.
Events often include but are not solely defined by or limited to: “open-air preaching”, poetry presentation, spiritual dancing, prayer, stretching, holistic healing, music, question booths and more.
These Events are designed to promote unique and creative and powerful presentations of God’s multi-faceted and vast character of truth and healing and peace to the public.
* the Care Package Team is: (a developing branch of Just a Step Ministries)
A team of people who are invested in reaching out to those around the globe already engaged in local ministries and being a reoccurring care package to them. This team will stay connected to the members of various ministries around the globe, engaging them throughout the year with questions and comments encouragements and conversation. Through such communication, this team will discover and observe the needs of these missionaries, ministers, and ministries around the world. Our team will then compile care packages for them based on those needs and deliver them once or twice a year and be then themselves care packages to our brothers and sisters through sincere interaction and receptive encouragement.
Another part of this ministry are waves of short term mission teams implemented at appropriate times to relieve our friends around the globe from their responsibilities for a short time that they may rest and recuperate.
Traveling:
This is fundamental to our cause as so it is fundamental to the cause of Jesus the Christ, our Saviour and our Lord and Brother… God. Those who are not involved in the sending and receiving of missionaries are missing something crucial to heart of our God and our Jesus. We must travel always.
Our Travel is to new lands as well as to established ones, to new peoples as well as known ones… we share the gospel and preach and minister to those who have never heard as well as to those who have… for Jesus is the power of salvation to all who believe, initially and continually.
Our Travel is to both establish and connect as well as to support and comfort.
Finances:
Our team will depend on God for provision.
Our team will raise support as led.
In the event of a lack of funds, or that we are called to serve extensively somewhere, we will seek employment and make use of our individual "tent-making" skills.
*This ministry operates on the true and expectant belief that God shall provide as we step. Consequently, we will not wait for a certain financial amount to be raised before we embark on our pilgrimage/mission, but accept what the Lord provides as we step.
Doing now:
Preparing upcoming resource establishment and fundraising campaign (planned year of travel and presentation).
