Letter Work

I greet you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. My name is Elder Steven Furr Jr and I recently moved into Bedford Heights I am looking to stay here for quite sometime. Naturally when you find a place like home you want to make yourself at home. The purpose of this letter is alert you of a vision that I believe God gave me and I would like to invite you to be apart.

House of Hope Cleveland.  This is non profit community engagement mission that is seeking to build and rebuild a local communities by providing spiritual and natural services based on the need and resources of the community. With advent of the Black Lives Matter movement there has been so unseeming exposure of the church and its role in the community which has long since been under attack. The public as whole has negative view of assemblies based on cultural ideas that ground the church as only a social institution. The added challenges of those men and women who do unflattering things in the out of the pulpit erodes the relationship between the spiritual body known as the church and the people who need what God has given them.

House of Hope is dedicated to create an in neighborhood 6 days a week response devote to meet the natural and spiritual needs of the people of Bedford Heights by filling a home with God's glory and good works. The specific target of service focus in three main areas education fitness, social awareness, spiritual wellness and vocational development. As you could imagine one man could do this much work alone...thats where you come in. I am looking to put together the development core of what I call DC to began to forge relationships and cast this vision.

I am seeking to make connection with every major institution, community and religious leader within Bedford Heights, Ohio in order to ground this work. I would be honored if you would permit me the space to share my vision in more depth with you and draw on the resources that you have connections with to develop this vision.  My goal is not grow my own ministry but to support the efforts of the universal church and specifically the assembly in which you lead by creating a contact point for ministry and relationship in the community.

We are in the grounding phase of House of Hope Cleveland, I am looking to end this phase with having established at the very least a positive relationship with all the institutions that serve this community by this time next year. At most have garnered  the support of the community to the degree that we can be fundraising to incorporate federally as 501(C)3 and purchase the home outright.

If this is something that has peaked you intrest or you want to know more please feel free to email me.
