LET'S DO SOMETHING FOR JESUS
The Church of Brotherly Love
Purpose:
To remind the world that The Lord of Hosts will always provide, that Jesus loves them, and that Jesus is coming soon. The Church of Brotherly Love will focus on providing physical nourishment through food production while sharing the Word of God and preparing people spiritually for Christ’s return.
Mission Statement:
To build a sustainable community where pastors live without financial burden, cultivate food for those in need, and preach the Word of God regularly in order to feed and support those in need and urge believers to be prepared and remain steadfast for Crist's return.
Location: Washington State
Time: As soon as possible
The Church of Brotherly Love will begin by securing suitable land in Washington State, ideal for sustainable farming. The plan includes constructing two primary structures: a house dedicated to Jesus and a home for the Pastor, capable of housing a family of seven.
The House for Jesus:
The first home will be built exclusively for Jesus, with only the holiest widowed mothers of Pastors entrusted to maintain it until His return. This house will be constructed from Cedar and Grade SW (severe weathering) brick, ensuring its durability. It will feature a large garage and a stable for a horse, prepared in event that Jesus arrives on some type of shuttle or horseback.
Additionally, the property will include a shared workshop for the Pastors and their families, equipped with a modern woodshop, mechanical shop, and gym, along with other facilities that support those living off God's land. This shared space will foster collaboration and self-sufficiency among the church community.
Once the house for Jesus is built along with His workspace the church will focus on shepherding His people immediately and remain to focus on it until His return. This will begin with the construction of a single Pastor's aquaponic homestead. A majority of funding after will focus on sustainment and success of standing homesteads, prioritized next to expand to as many homesteads as possible to sustain within the church. My goal is to build 500 homesteads within WA State.
The Pastor's home will feature a state-of-the-art aquaponic homestead, designed to cultivate enough food to nourish up to 70 people daily. The Pastor will manage the greenhouse, laboring each day to harvest as much food as possible to support the local community. He will do this with whatever assistance he finds from help of other Christian followers, other pastures or pastures in training local or sponsored from other countries. He will also have the help of his family to manage the 6-8 hours of labor required daily to manage such a system. This breakdown of the system is further explained under the "Projects" tab.
Every Sunday, the Pastor will share both food and the Word of God with those in need. The Pastor will determine where his service is most required, bringing both physical and spiritual nourishment to the community.
Initial Phase and Documentation: The first phase will focus on establishing a single church and monitoring its operations over a six-month period. After 180 days of full operation, with one preacher and one greenhouse in place, we will produce a documentary to showcase how this model can be scaled and replicated.
Vision for Expansion: The success of this project should inspire a movement. If replicated, 500 homes modeled after this concept, in support of Pastors with the Church of Brotherly Love, could potentially feed 35,000 people daily. Considering there are currently only 28,306 recorded homeless individuals in Washington State, this initiative could help alleviate hunger and homelessness, God willing.
Most of us here were lucky to be born as Americans in a free nation under God. This is a nation where humans can bring themselves from out of poverty and into wealth.
A nation where we can live in peace with one another regardless of race, ethnic cultures, political views or religious preferences and a nation which fosters the belief that we were all created equal under God. This has to remain true for our nation to survive.
This is why the American dream is the American dream and not a somewhere else dream.
This is why our nations' soldiers fight to protect our nation.
This is how we are blessed just as being born Americans.
About the founder
I love Jesus and I started this project because through prayer, I determined that this is the most likely course of action I should take to help as many families as I can. I am dedicating the next 20 years of my life to build and support a community of up to 3,500 people.
I was born 15 June 1982 in Fresno, CA. I met my wife 24 years ago when we were both 16 years old. We are still happily married with 2 sons, 22 and 7 years old.
I joined the army when I was 17 and began my career in the infantry. I was in B Company, 1/502 INF, 101st Airborne Division during the initial invasion of Iraq. After returning from my first Iraq deployment, I went to SFAS (Special Forces Assessment and Selection) where I was selected to attend the Special Forces Qualification Course. I earned my Green Beret in 2007. From 2007-2021 as a Green Beret, I deployed 7 more times to combat in Iraq and Afghanistan for a total of 57 months (about 5 years) of combat over my 20-year career. I retired as a MSG and the Special Forces Operations Sergeant of Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha (SFODA) 1313, out of 1st Special Forces Group, JBLM. This has all been part of my plan to sustain my family with my military retirement guaranteeing their well-being regardless of my future success, so that I can move forward into my next chapter of life.
I feel good with what I have done so far because I've actually seen a lot of families liberated throughout the war and some are still alive, living here in the U.S.A. today. It is time to do more for my country though. I'm no politician and I never will be. I just want to help people and I know a lot of you do too. This is why I started this foundation.
The Church of Brotherly Love now exists to build a community for families who have been struggling within our country. This community will help our country to become better.
More bios on active directors will be published here as the church gains them. Right now, it is just me running this show, but I am actively seeking additional board members who are able and willing.
