Training of Leaders and Teachers

^81:6.37 13. Effective and wise leadership. In civilization much, very much, depends on an enthusiastic and effective load-pulling spirit. Ten men are of little more value than one in lifting a great load unless they lift together -- all at the same moment. And such teamwork -- social co-operation -- is dependent on leadership. The cultural civilizations of the past and the present have been based upon the intelligent co-operation of the citizenry with wise and progressive leaders; and until man evolves to higher levels, civilization will continue to be dependent on wise and vigorous leadership.
^81:6.38 High civilizations are born of the sagacious correlation of material wealth, intellectual greatness, moral worth, social cleverness, and cosmic insight.

^133:5.6 Mathematics asserts that, if one person stands for a certain unit of intellectual and moral value, ten persons would stand for ten times this value. But in dealing with human personality it would be nearer the truth to say that such a personality association is a sum equal to the square of the number of personalities concerned in the equation rather than the simple arithmetical sum. A social group of human beings in co-ordinated working harmony stands for a force far greater than the simple sum of its parts.
^133:5.7 Quantity may be identified as a fact, thus becoming a scientific uniformity. Quality, being a matter of mind interpretation, represents an estimate of values, and must, therefore, remain an experience of the individual. When both science and religion become less dogmatic and more tolerant of criticism, philosophy will then begin to achieve unity in the intelligent comprehension of the universe.

Our Mission

To bring a new and higher revelation of truth to the Continent of Africa

One of the most important things in human living is to find out what Jesus believed, to discover his ideals, and to strive for the achievement of his exalted life purpose. Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it. Come and join us as we bring the new teachings to Africa fulfilling this prophecy.

A new and fuller revelation of the religion of Jesus is destined to conquer an empire of materialistic secularism and to overthrow a world sway of mechanistic naturalism. Our World is now quivering on the very brink of one of its most amazing and enthralling epochs of social readjustment, moral quickening, and spiritual enlightenment.

This journey will bring the flame of freedom to our hearts and the light of knowledge in our eyes.

The call to the adventure of building a new and transformed human society by means of the spiritual rebirth of Jesus’ brotherhood of the kingdom should thrill all who believe in him as men have not been stirred since the days when they walked about on earth as his companions in the flesh."

Jesus understood the minds of men. He knew what was in the heart of man, and had his teachings been left as he presented them, the only commentary being the inspired interpretation afforded by his earth life, all nations and all religions of the world would speedily have embraced the gospel of the kingdom. The well-meant efforts of Jesus’ early followers to restate his teachings so as to make them the more acceptable to certain nations, races, and religions, only resulted in making such teachings the less acceptable to all other nations, races, and religions.

Godspeed.

Urantia Europe

WELCOME

This group is to assist in bringing the Urantia Revelation Family into one fold, and in particular to help unify family members from Europe with those brothers and sisters living in Africa. This has been my passion.

Please encourage friendships to find origins and grow using the social networking capacities of this Network. Many of our African friends who have embraced the New revelations are member here on Spiritual Family Network easy to find and wonderful to love. Let us always remember in our endeavors to find and hold friends that the Master's counsel. "If you would find friends you must show yourself friendly"

171:7.1 Jesus spread good cheer everywhere he went. He was full of grace and truth. His associates never ceased to wonder at the gracious words that proceeded out of his mouth. You can cultivate gracefulness, but graciousness is the aroma of friendliness which emanates from a love-saturated soul.

If you are from Europe or Africa please join this Group and fraternize with your brothers and sisters from two continents on Urantia. Together we can unfold what was divinely folded up in the life and the teachings of Jesus.

Godspeed

Urantia Uganda Virtual Study Group

^196:1.4 The common people heard Jesus gladly, and they will again respond to the presentation of his sincere human life of consecrated religious motivation if such truths shall again be proclaimed to the world. The people heard him gladly because he was one of them, an unpretentious layman; the world's greatest religious teacher was indeed a layman.

Our Mission & Objective

Jesus understood the minds of men. He knew what was in the heart of man, and had his teachings been left as he presented them, the only commentary being the inspired interpretation afforded by his earth life, all nations and all religions of the world would speedily have embraced the gospel of the kingdom. The well-meant efforts of Jesus’ early followers to restate his teachings so as to make them the more acceptable to certain nations, races, and religions, only resulted in making such teachings the less acceptable to all other nations, races, and religions.

To provide a Virtual Center of Learning for the truth postulates found in the pages and papers of our new 5th Epochal Revelation The Urantia Book.

We will begin discussions, ask and answer questions and provide Video's Blogs, Pages, Sound Files, Posters and Graphs, and other Files that can be of assistance to those who seriously undertake the study of the revelation.

We will also hold a monthly ZOOM Meeting for the Members of this Group and any Visitors or Guest Speakers who care to join in this adventure of Learning.

Voices of the Prophets

Voices of the Prophets

STRANGE PREACHER SUBSTACK INDEX ON SFN

STRANGE PREACHER PODCAST

Organized religion has proved to be conservatively tardy. The prophets have usually led the people in religious development; the theologians have usually held them back. Religion, being a matter of inner or personal experience, can never develop very far in advance of the intellectual evolution of the races.

^144:8.4 "Verily, verily, I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen a greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is but small in the kingdom of heaven is greater because he has been born of the spirit and knows that he has become a son of God."

About Prophecy

Isaiah tells us that God’s ways are not man’s ways. God’s words, the words of true prophecy, are also not like man's words. God’s words start as small seedlings and over time they grow, give off branches, form buds, and finally, burst into bloom. Just so, the word "Israel" starts out as the tiny seed of one man named Abraham, but through the ages, the word "Israel" grows, changes, and finally bursts forth into the brotherhood of all mankind.

Words of prophecy often have past, present, and future connotations. Each word demands tremendous respect and study of all the contexts of its usage. Reverence for the source of prophecy is the key to its study, for it is God who must lead our minds into the understanding of what He himself has inspired?

Without the indwelling spirit there would be no prophecy and no interpretation of prophecy. But reason and the scientific method are also critical for the elimination of error, and for the building of a strong foundation from whence inspired intuition may leap safely.

Therefore, both reason and faith are necessary for the complete appreciation of prophecy, just as they are for the full appreciation of all other phenomena.

^99:5.11 What a mistake for Christians to make when, in presenting Christ as the supreme ideal of spiritual leadership, they dare to require God-conscious men and women to reject the historic leadership of the God-knowing men who have contributed to their particular national or racial illumination during past ages.

^5:2.3 The divine presence cannot, however, be discovered anywhere in nature or even in the lives of God-knowing mortals so fully and so certainly as in your attempted communion with the indwelling Mystery Monitor, the Paradise Thought Adjuster. What a mistake to dream of God far off in the skies when the spirit of the Universal Father lives within your own mind!

^26:11.5 The mortal creature must find God. The Creator Son never stops until he finds man -- the lowest will creature. Beyond doubt, the Creator Sons and their mortal children are preparing for some future and unknown universe service. Both traverse the gamut of the experiential universe and so are educated and trained for their eternal mission. Throughout the universes there is occurring this unique blending of the human and the divine, the commingling of creature and Creator. Unthinking mortals have referred to the manifestation of divine mercy and tenderness, especially towards the weak and in behalf of the needy, as indicative of an anthropomorphic God. What a mistake! Rather should such manifestations of mercy and forbearance by human beings be taken as evidence that mortal man is indwelt by the spirit of the living God; that the creature is, after all, divinity motivated.

Welcome Message and Objectives

This group is for those who are motivated to create and sponsor a Urantia organization with the expressed purpose of supporting evangelists, ministers, teachers, preachers, disciples, apostles, missionaries and healers.

Proposal

1. We propose to advocate the active growth of the revelation

2. We propose a policy of enabling, empowering, sponsoring and promoting the active participation of the Urantian community in furthering the revelation and the gospel of the kingdom of heaven.

3. We propose a policy of supporting active individuals who have a desire to serve, minister and evangelize our communities, both locally and globally.

4. We propose a policy of encouraging teamwork; building relationship-based groups focused on spiritual goals; stimulating communication and networking with the community through all open avenues including group zoom calls, phone calls, messenger, Facebook and face-to-face meetings.

5. We propose to build small groups or help evolve existing groups into focus groups, care groups and spiritual groups focused on spiritual goals.

6. We propose to plan and sponsor worship-based conferences, ministries, prayer meetings and churches focused on outreach to the community and edifying believers.

7. We propose to emphasize the gospel of the kingdom of heaven and center our activities, policies and programs on Part IV of the Urantia Book, guided by the Spirit of Truth, taught by the life and teachings of Joshua ben Joseph and counselled by the inner spirit of God the Father.

8. We propose to train and become new teachers of the gospel exclusively devoted to the spiritual transformation of the individual. We agree to build and grow believers into kingdom builders, community leaders, spiritual activists and dynamic sons and daughters of the Living God.

We advocate the ABC’s of ministry:

A ) Evangelism – going out into all the world making disciples of all nations

B ) Teaching ministry – the inner circle of believers focused on teaching and training evangelists and ministers, worship leaders, administrators, healers.

C ) Healing ministry – creating healing programs of personal care, prayer, health and nutrition, online prayer and support for addictions, mental health, marital counselling, depression.

WE EMPOWER FOUNDATION (WEF)

WE EMPOWER FOUNDATION (WEF)

Our Mission

Empower communities with practical skills for sustainable livelihoods.

Our Vision

To build Self-reliant Communities.

Our Objectives

We are an Alter global Network of Friends whose objective is to support economic growth through relevant, comprehensive skills, non-formal skills and vocational training and guiding small businesses and communities. Empowering Youth and Women and Underprivileged Communities is an emphasis of We Empower Foundation.

To empower communities with knowledge and skills for sustainable development.

To become a model training for practical skills development center.

To develop effective management capacity building through skills and knowledge development, information management and networking.

To strengthen the capacity of We Empower Foundation team to effectively deliver to its mandate.

Limited job training opportunities and lack of resources for business start-up have been major barriers to men and women moving forward in their lives and educating and feeding their children.

Low job skills and lack of capacity to make a living also impact mental health. Current Economic Self-Sufficiency Program

ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION:

Spreading the gospel and evangelism
Providing basic needs to the widows, and elders like clothes, food, soap, salt, fuel for cooking and other necessities of living.
Providing school materials like books, pens, pencils, school uniforms (i.e Trouser for boys, Skirts for girls, shirts, and shoes for both).
Equipping skills to the needy and vulnerable children and the community.
Equipping the children with relevant skills and establishing income-generating projects.

PROJECTS OF THE ORGANIZATION:

Construction of new PIGGERY PROJECT for the youth as their source of income which will also inspire other youth in the community. (The youth are mainly guided and taught how to be transformed into an important person). PIGGERY; Refers to the rearing of pigs. The project may differ in terms of income depending on one’s capital invested in the project, (the more capital invested the more output generated) the projects output may take very little time compared to other projects as in rearing animals because the gestation period of a pig is much shorter compared to a cow or a goat. Secondly, pigs grow faster and their lactation period is also short that is why I chose the piggery project. This is our responsibility to lead these children in a way that will help them to be self-reliant in the future and there they will be able to care for their own families in the old stages.

CHALLENGES FACING THE ORGANIZATION IN GENERAL:

The youth face a challenge of the long distance covered for mission outreach due to lack of transport when going for gospel outreach in the nearby areas.
The caretakers of the children face a problem of land shortages where they could practice Agriculture.
The children move 2 ½ kilometers to reach the nearby school which doesn’t provide quality education to them.
Limited land for Agriculture.

PLANS:

We plan to practice agriculture on a large scale such that we can get some food from our own Land to reduce the high price of food products.
We also plan if we get sufficient funding to buy food for the caretakers of the children which can be used in the periods of food scarcity.
We also plan to set up a piggery project for the youth such that they can make their own source of income in a community. And also rabbit rearing projects for the children such that our children can be able to help their families in providing home requirements. We require your support, help, prayers, and the guidance of God to turn our dreams into actuals.
