Full Circle

It's official!

We are so excited to share the news with all of you! After several conversations and discussions of a possible partnership with the board members of The National Circles Campaign, we have officially decided to move forward together. There are very few words to describe how visibly God-ordained this development has been, but we wanted to share some of the awesome details with you. In a recent e-mail from the CEO, she summed this process up well by saying,

"Considering this is only the third meeting that I have had with you, I know that God is in the midst.... only that kind of clarity and expectancy can come from human relationships that quickly if it is ordained directly from His plan."

We are very excited about this partnership for a multitude of reasons.

1. As we began the process of building the ministry of 4DM at theNorthgate, our pastor was approached by the leaders of Circles. They had heard what we were planning and felt that both our visions wholly aligned. They were right! Partnering with Circles has given us an enormous headstart in reaching the marginalized in our community. Circles has over six years of experience and expertise in working to eliminate the gap between social classes. To get to this point on our own, it could have taken months and months of networking, fundraising, program development, and trial-and-error implementation to get things fully up and running. By partnering with Circles, we can completely eliminate this step. God knew there was no need for us to "reinvent the wheel" here. He's so smart!

2. The timing is perfect! Circles is in a transition period where they have had to regroup and analyze their efforts in Dayton. Another church was formerly heading up Circles in the Dayton area, but has recently decided to end their partnership as the church wanted to focus in a different direction. This gave us the availabilty to step in at just the right time and help make any strategic revisions that are characteristic of downtown Dayton in order to keep the program alive and thriving. What timing!

3. We believe whole-heartedly in the vision and the methods Circles utilizes to bridge the gap between social classes in an effort to help eradicate poverty. God knows our hearts and longs to see our desires fulfilled!

Thank you to all of you who have made this a reality! It would not have been possible without your loving support! We appreciate it more than we can say.
