SEED TO OAKS <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> 3<br />
Introduction<br />
A Movement of Social Good through The Local Church.<br />
Your business and church have the potential of<br />
becoming the epicenter for social change.<br />
Within your community there are needs. People<br />
need education. They need jobs. They need<br />
quality healthcare. They need development and<br />
opportunity. People need you, your church and<br />
they need Jesus Christ.<br />
The Bible calls all Christians to compassion,<br />
justice and sacrifice. Professionals within every<br />
church desire to stand up for justice, to help<br />
those in need and to restore their community to<br />
one that is truly thriving.<br />
But, they don’t know how to do it on their own.<br />
Seed to Oaks is a non profit that brings real and<br />
lasting community change through a collaboration<br />
between local churches, businesses and civic<br />
agencies, filling the space between the three.<br />
§ A proven approach for lasting social<br />
change.<br />
§ A gain of the public trust due to your<br />
devotion to good.<br />
Our name, Seed to Oaks, comes from Isaiah<br />
61, the great justice chapter in the Bible.<br />
Scripture uses a metaphor to describe local<br />
churches and Christians who love mercy and<br />
do justice; they become “Oaks of<br />
Righteousness,” a planting of the LORD for<br />
the display of his glory (Isaiah 61:3; NIV).<br />
We invite you to plant a movement of social<br />
good through the local church — from seed<br />
to oaks.<br />
We help socially-driven pastors and professionals<br />
connect and mobilize their resources and<br />
influence through guided social initiatives. These<br />
initiatives are proven, strategic and<br />
straightforward to implement — designed as a<br />
sustainable means for community change that is<br />
real and measurable.<br />
Our initiatives are designed to be:<br />
§ A kingdom use of your life’s work and<br />
influence.<br />
§ A powerful application of the Church’s gifts.
