Equipping inner-city kids to meet, know and show Christ
Passing of the Baton
by Paul E. Velázquez
At some time or another, every ministry will experience change or transition.
Sometimes the transition is simply making changes or adjustments to what God has called us to do. At other times, transition can mean a complete change of ministry direction or focus, moving from one phase of ministry to another. Either way, transition or change in ministry does not catch God by surprise but it’s most likely part of His plan.
Transition is happening at KIDS Inc!
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts and plans I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace, and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. (Amplified)
I find it time for me to give full focus and attention to my family and home, and enter a new stage in my life seeking to be obedient to God’s will. My family and I have been blessed beyond expectation through out many years by your love, support and prayers. We continue to covet these now for our family, marriage and future as we follow the plans the Lord has for us.
Now, I am privileged and excited to announce the ”Passing of
the Baton” of leadership of KIDS Inc toJake Medlong.
I believe Jake to be not only equipped and able but called by God to take on this ministry. God has given him favor with kids, parents, schools, and the community making this change very clear and “idiot proof”. He is a loved friend, a man led by God, and has my upmost trust and confidence to lead KIDS Inc in accordance to God’s plan.
Through scripture we know that God’s plan and purpose already contain everything we need to successfully fulfill what God has called us to do. God’s plan is fully furnished with His power and ability, His grace and wisdom, His blessing and provision. Therefore, KIDS Inc and Jake are in the best place possible; His hands.
So, as we walk through this I urge you to keep us in prayer, and to continue giving Jake and KIDS Inc your love and support.
Colossians 1:9 For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [[a]special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the [b]full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [[c]in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things-(Amplified)
Again my deepest thanks and appreciation for all your care and support expressed to my family and I over the years. They have clearly reflected our Lord’s love in a very personal way.
