Transformation Jacksonville

What a joyful and unforgettable day for the Sidewalk Ministries family! We celebrated the baptisms of several of our youth, along with a beloved mother in their family, as she publicly proclaimed her faith in Jesus Christ.

For nearly ten years, we've walked alongside this family, watching God work in their hearts as each of them chose to follow Christ. Today they professed that faith together through baptism. We even got to spend time with them at home this weekend, watching Kimberly teach Emiona "Heart and Soul" on the piano!

We're grateful for every church family who has loved and discipled them along the way. To God be the glory!

Partnership is not about waiting for someone else to solve the problem. It's not assuming education is only the school's job. It's recognizing that everyone has something to offer. When we come together, literacy, teacher retention, and attendance improve—and kids win!

Media may flood images of spectacle and ask, are you not entertained? We must be aware that counterfeit, toxic images are being broadcast of performative masculinity and the so-called manosphere.

OPINION
The quiet faithfulness of ordinary fathers might not been seen on a screen near you. Conspicuously missing from the manosphere is a vision for fatherhood.
