The March "Youth Against Gun Violence (Pt1)

Things on earth are not manifested until the heavenly realms have decreed them. To understand the things happening here in this world, we must give our self over to listen and obey God's voice and command. At Yokefellows Athletics Jesus always went to the people even through many rejected Him, as many did receive Him and were saved to have ever lasting life.  [John 3:15]. 

 

Its being a few months now and the Lord has pressed upon me to hear the cries of "Youth Against Gun Violence". the mothers, fathers, family and community. These are the cries of a falling world, where sadness. anger and bitterness are on the menu for the day. 

 As I gave up my Sabbath church attendance, with the conviction of God's word [Mark 2:27-28]  "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath". I attended a city March "Youth Against Gun Violence" held in Toronto and embraced it from a social distance. Feeling a sense of separation, maybe because, its a day of rest and worship for me or because I haven't directly being impacted from gun violence to feel that emotion or the fact is; I have never being part of a March of any sort that I can remember. 

 


Having a sense of unfamiliar feelings as I attended this down town March, I found my self connecting with panhandlers, homeless and squirrels giving them a little joy of fries and pocket change. I was wearing my Yokefellows Athletics T'Shirt as I inter mingled throughout the day. I felt like God was saying to me "Don its your Ministry, represent it well".

 


While at the March I continued to stay on the outside looking in, there was a lot of personal stories shared by mothers of son's killed by gun violence, morning and crying was theme of this March and I  also, got it was a close community of remorse that embraced each other. I was able to meet Louie March (fitting name) very much a lead actives when it comes to  "youth against gun violence" and we exchanged cards. I'm looking to engage with him as Yokefellows heads in the direction of doing more community outreach as a channel of hope and opportunity for youth to walk away from guns and choose life. [Deuteronomy 30:19]

Yokefellow our Foundation

                                                              Yokefellows Athletics is built on a solid rock, the rock of Jesus Christ. We follow the set principles of Sabbath (Saturday as our day of rest)  If it was not for God and the sacrifice of Jesus,  Yokefellows Athletics would not exist. It would be impossible for me to do this business or open the doors that I'm about to open if I didn't give back to God through recognition and sacrifice of His command.  The word Yokefellows comes from one of the greatest sacrifices of biblical history, through Paul's journey to Rome and his imprisonment, he gives great honor to those yokefellows (Philippians 4:3) that lifted h...

The Count Down

   Its two weeks before the Sprint Battle pilot program launch in Nigeria, the actual date is June 23, 2023. This is an important date; a lot is riding on this date when it comes to establish momentum for other Sprint Battle competitions to be established. My goal is to have multiple competitions happening at once all over the globe. Its my hope we can properly capture and market the happenings of the event on that date of the 23th to conduct another Sprint Battle in the month of August 2023 as a revenue generator. I already have a few interested parties looking to know more about what Sprint Battle can do for them as a revenue channel. Sprint Battle has the advantage of being new and the benefit of being well known in community happenings. That sounds contradictory but, that is the facts. When you take something old and popular, then revitalize it to fit contemporary society a lot of the hard work has already being established. This is where Sprint Battle finds itself rev...

They foresee things in the presence with an eye for future progress. It is said countries that have the highest number of patients have a good grasp on their future and its citizens wealth. You can click here and look at the countries investing in growth through patents: https://www.statista.com/statistics/257152/ranking-of-the-20-countries-with-the-most-patent-grants Patents are also, an ideal indicator on the direction a country is heading in mainly because, it sees itself rising above its current global status. It’s an investment with a yield of 3, 10, 25, 50 or even 100 years with the understanding at the end of the journey of either training, building or research its future will be brighter. These patents would be better off for its people, families, community, and global standing a...
