Case Study: Catholic Earth Care Australia

Mr. Culley and his wife started this ministry seventeen years ago. They knew there was a need and decided that if they were so heavily burdened to act then they should lead the way in addressing the need. Over time, Mr. Culley and his wife have experience cut backs from some organizations due to funding. They have also experienced a shortage of volunteers. Mr. and Mrs. Culley have been able to overcome these obstacles, they have reached out to local businesses and churches, and this has helped to fill the gaps in donations.

This organization has made an effort to reach an “overarching goal of effecting sustainable social change by making a long-term impact on individuals, families and communities remains the guiding principle of the agency’s undertakings” (Catholic Charities of Los Angeles.org). The undertakings are all done through the compassionate measures which Jesus Christ showed to mankind. In all, through the power of the Holy Spirit, they strive for social justice for the vulnerable and poor.

The organization I chose is called Dee Norton child advocacy center. The mission statement is To prevent abuse, protect children and heal families. The vision statement is To be THE leading child abuse and trauma center-changing the world, one child at a time. The core values are compassion, collaboration and commitment to excellence.

I have been apart of several different organizations. Although, I have had jobs in a formal setting, such as a worker study or internship, the most significant to me is my role in my church. I am a member of Salem Baptist Church in Golden, MS. On average, we have about 120 people of any given Sunday. We aren’t a big church, but it takes a lot to keep it running smoothly.

This past summer, I was called to act upon one of the Four Pillars of NHS, service. I joined my church’s Youth Mission Team and spent five days in Athens, Ohio. During this time, my team members and I completed various projects including making a free lunch for the community, shoveling gravel, building a ramp, and working with children.

This is more or less the Mission Australia enduring theme that after all these years, have been continuing to follow. This is such a strongly positive thing, as the bible has always presented really well thought and hugely influence parables to enforce the best out of each and every one. This can only mean only good things, and enforces the hugely beneficial and positive outline in Mission Australia. It actually not even a listed company and instead of that its inhabited the role as a ASX, which is a Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principle, this is as part of the commitment as expressed earlier, to establish a positive lifestyle for the homeless. This is all why I strongly argue Mission Australia is the best.

Blessed beyond compare, God has initiated me into a community of faith! Surrounded by believers of Christ, I’ve become a well-rounded individual, and a contributing member of society. First Baptist Church of Merrifield has instilled patients, love, compassion, and most importantly the foundation of faith that leads me to do great things. Just as the Lord has blessed me with education, life, and health, I plan on giving back to other as he continues to do for me. In the capacity of the next 20 years, I will mentor youth, start a non profit organization to compel bulling, and advocate for economic change to work toward closing the income gap between minorities and there Caucasian counterparts.

This is a group of students who meet together weekly to discuss, pray over, and advocate for injustices around the world. As of first semester of sophomore year I have been one of the leaders of this group; through this, God has opened my eyes and broken my heart for victims of abuse, violence, and injustice in the world. I believe that God desires for our hearts to be broken for what breaks his heart, not just so we hurt, but so we wake up and help those who hurt. This is where my passion for nonprofit ministry lies, I hope to help those who are hurting; exactly what profession or ministry that will take me to, I am not sure, but I have full confidence that God will lead me to the right ministry when he sees fits.

WAHOO! Another year has flown by, summer is creeping up on us, and this means that yet another life-changing experience is approaching me leaving my heart and mind ever so anxious. The 2018 mission trip will take place in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, and I couldn’t be more excited to add more fuel to my fire for Jesus that has been growing in my heart. In a few short weeks, I will have the opportunity to travel with the Marathon FCA group to the reservations to assist in building houses, work in the image and likeness of Jesus giving the people reasons to smile, and change the lives of many through simple, yet huge, acts of kindness. I have been involved in my FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) group ever since I was a freshman,

David Wesley’s main idea is a set of best practices, or what he terms “healthy patterns,” in congregational mission partnerships. Wesley observes that in the emerging “third way” of missions that began at the end of the 20th century and is coming into its own in the early 21st century is focusing on congregational partnerships. As such, Wesley seeks to lay out “common patterns for healthy global partnerships observed in these congregational partnerships.” Consequently, Wesley presents five healthy patterns around which common mission can flourish.

At church, in addition to my participation in the worship services, I volunteered at our church’s soup kitchen, medical camps and elementary school for underprivileged children. These experiences opened my eyes to the deprivation of love and care in the world and a dire need of God’s grace for people at large so they could receive forgiveness, healing and restoration in their lives.

This is a picture of my church, scouts when we went to help some build, some chairs for the seniors living in this nursing home. I would put this picture under community organizing because we are a group in the community that is motivated to help solve some problems and to ultimately reach the goal of raising enough money to build a small nursing center near our church due to the high number of elderlies in the community, which is issue selection. Through empowerment, our church scout was able to organize all the necessary individuals to help us reach this goal. Being able to share time with the elderly in the nursing homes, we were able to identify and address some of the problems that were happening in the nursing homes to improve their quality
