Meet The Need Bible study.

Every morning the men of Meet the Need gather for a Bible study.  The study consists of Proverbs, Psalms, and a chapter in one of the books of the Bible.  The men are also studying Joyce Meyers book “The Battlefield of the Mind”, which is an amazing book that describes overcoming strongholds by cognitive change in a Christian perspective, and T.D. Jakes book “So You Call Yourself a Man”.  The men are also journaling their days events and all are provided a spiritual growth plan.

Meet The Need Ministry has recently started a new requirement for  men joining the program.  The new men are required to stay at one of the three homes near the farm for the first 30 days.  During that month Pastor Dean and Rick minister to the new guys and have daily intense fellowship in a one-on-one setting.  Once Dean and Rick feel like they have a firm grasp on where they need to guide an individual they come up with a “Spiritual Growth Plan”.  The plan includes ways to overcome the mans strongholds through the Word of God.  Pastor Bob Vann’s curriculum is studied intensely by the new men on a day in day out basis.

The new men also have a great opportunity to learn new skills that will broaden their spectum for future endeavors.  One of the many opportunities they have is to work with Rene’ in his auto upholstery shop.  Rene’ has been doing auto upholstery for 30 years and is an expert in his trade.  The training the men receive from Rene’ is invaluable.  The men also are trained in gardening and crop cultivating by Steve Outland.  Steve is an professional landscaper, with 30 years experience, who currently owns his own landscaping business, Outlandscapes, which he uses to bless the ministry.
