Travel the Road | Uganda | VP BaM

Those of you that know us, or have sat under our ministry,

know that we have been supporting & crossing paths with

Tim Scott & Will Decker @TraveltheRoad

for the past three decades.

This Episode takes you into the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

(a little more remote than our previous trips)

Some of our Missional Adventures have crossed

at some of these same locations, and we are headed there in February.

We have vlogged about these unreached people groups before.

Yet Tim & Will often capture a Cinimatic Vantage Point

like no other missionaries on earth.

Enjoy this NEW Episode while it's free.

Please Pray for Anna & I as we Depart 1/30/23

Representing SOHI our Non-Profit.

teaming up with other ministry & missions in UGANDA 

for the month of February ~ Shalom, Shalom

Strategically, our foreign mission is set up to equip our  indigenous staff to do the work of the ministry, this aligns with one of our core principles & prayers for them to become self-sustaining.

We have seen God provide in miraculous ways over the years through your prayers, and anticipate His support to continue through atypical means. There is something truely enriching about the stories behind resourcing, funding, and the gifts that have confirmed time and time again our call to live generously in a culture of scarcity.

PHIL is anticipating an extended transition in 2024 not sure yet of the details, but greatful for a successful 2023. Vantage Point has been an awesome platform for Strategizing | Consulting | Launching Businesses etc... However, we can't shake our Missional Mindset ...so with sober-confidence we press into the New Year with eager anticipation that God will Walk us through his best for us, as we surrender our all for His Glory.

 Fall Update VP - BAM

Anna & Phil have been investing time & resources into other likeminded  Missional Business Ventures. Some of which are individuals with a similar passion, while others are actual Businesses that are further along in their venture.  Meanwhile we are absorbing conferences, training sessions, and deep dive research with others who have gone on before us, or who are interested in our endevour.

We are finding a network of people, ideas, and platforms to research & encourage. Co-Work Network - ONE DAY (Beta Event) is one such gathering. Dec. 2nd we meet with a number of others who are dreaming or launching BAM initiatives. We are anticipating a day of encouragement & gleaning ways to move initiatives forward.

BaM Explainer | VP Napkin Notes

(Napkin Notes ~ the MEANING OF BaM)

BaM | Business as Mission 

means different things to different folk.

One is no more correct than the other, 

but sometimes they may mean one, some, or all the below...

(with unique variences)

BaM is a Missional MINDSET

...as we are going about our buisness, no matter what career field we are cultivating, we are all to be missionally minded, makeing disciples as we are going... aka. to be approachable, winsome, and influential for the kingdom of Christ.

BaM is a Missional MARKET

...strategically & purposefully structureing a business or market for the purpose of ministry. The business itself operates as the ministry and mission... aka. an Overt Approach to ministry is through the venue of a missional buisness/market. This could be For-Profit or Non-Profit, whichever way, The Mission is Accomplished through the Business.

BaM is a Missional MEANS 

...either by way of a segway, a foot in the door/community/country business is used as a front so that the mission can be perpetuated on location aka. this is more often a Covert Approach to minstry, a "so that" ministry can... In some communities an on Site Store Front, a Kisosk, or Local Address will allow a mission to operate/function after it has contributed locally.

BaM is a Missional MULTIPLIER

...often taking shape through complex strategies, with a heart for indiginous ownership. The goal of these businesses are to exponentially multiply/generate wealth  within a community - with the trajection of it being self-sustaining, and leveraging the local indiginous people for maximum impact on the culture. Various manifestations of training schools, agricultural development, business grants 

aka. to stimulate a local or foreign buisness for missional purposes.

BaM is a MINDSET, MARKET, MEANS, MULTIPLIER,

It may have one, some, or all the above. It will likly function as a unique microcosm, a little different than others, but more often than not  sharing some similar core values, core mission, core dreams.

Vantage Point ~ VP | BaM

Lord willing - we will be producing a New BaM Series in 2024

COMING SOON

RISING (Trailer) | Modernani.com | VP BaM

"RISING" Film Released 11/17 Historic Holmes Theatre

Anika Collaborated on on this Film during Covid.  This is a sampling of the Vantage Point Network. Our Daughter Anika (Modernani.com) has a business & missional mindset.  Although this Film is a bit more abstract than usual, and Anika has been more behind the scenes than in front of it ~ she has used her unique skill set to reach the world of Art, Dance, Media (Film & Photo).  It is a Business & Mission Field that is rarely intermingled but Anika does it with a such grace.

RISING follows a young woman’s journey from isolation in the woods into exploring a mysterious place where she battles obstacles and finds self-empowerment. Dance by Anika Campbell, sculptures by Tiffany Besonen, and music composed by Damian D. Anderson. Directed by Tiffany Besonen and Julie Kjenaas

with videography by Rob Whiteside.

BOHI [Brothers of Hope Int] | VP BaM

On occasion our Business as Mission allows us 

to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. 

VP | BaM

Ema (the young man in the video), 

had been serving alongside our SoHi Mission, & expressed interest in baking, 

not thinking anyone would take him serious.  But Anna's generous heart turned to Ema & challenged him - that if he stuck with the course work, She would pay his tuition.  Months Late, while doing a Field Visit in Country,

Ema Surprised Anna & I with a Cake he had baked just for us.

...Now of course there is always more to the story.

Ema ended up getting himself into trouble, 

and we don't know the latest chapters of his story?

But we are trusting that our "cup of cold water",

"the cloak off our back", or whatever & whomever we serve,

the greatest or the least of these - we do it as unto Christ!

What a gift that day to share in the journey of Ema.

Incubation Phase | VP BaM Kampala NEW SHELTER

AFTER (left) BEFORE (right)

Kampala Uganda WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE   VP | BaM

We have been praying about our multi-site SOHI space 

The offices in Kampala Have some Outdoor Spaces (front & back) 

that we have been dreaming about their potential.

BEFORE (left) AFTER (right)

The BACK - use to be Open Air (pictured left)

but recently we renovated the space 

and the ladies celebrated our shelter/canopy (pictured above right)

 We loved the previous open-air gatherings in the BACK,

but inclement weather & neighboring tree issues, limited the utility of the space.

(In addition it is already being used for prayer (church) servies on Saturdays!)

THIS IS A GAME CHANGER

        We can now host additional events, gatherings, and bring to life

The INCUBATION SHELTER Phase that we have been praying about!

*IMAGINE WHAT WE CAN DO WITH ALL THIS SPACE!

DAILY (Village Banking) | WEEKLY (Team Meetings) | WEEKEND (Church)

___________________________________

The FRONT  has the capacity 

to host kiosks & store front businesses.

We are now Re-Imagining the FRONT

Stay tuned to it's future renovations ~ SOHI Incubation Station

Also, We are breaking ground @ our SECOND LOCATION

Dulpicating the Shelter/Canopy for additional gathering space.
