Kroc Progress

So we're expecting over 30 applications for Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Centers in the next month. It's exciting to be a part of the process. This amazing gift has generated interest all over our territory and from all different types of communities. The Central, South and West Territories have made good progress in determining their approved sites and I expect that before Thanksgiving, we'll be through much of the process for this first competitive phase.

I am convinced this is a part of God's marvelous plan for TSA in America. We have this moment to change lives and communities for the better as well as redefining our interests in all of our Community Centers. Mission is important...so is sustainability. With the intelligent people working on these proposals I have every confidence that it is possible and that these new Community Centers will each be a beacon on a hill.

Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV)
Mt 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
