#1. What is TDM? It is short for Thunderdome Ministries Network Inc.
#2. What are the goals?
2-a. To reach a lost and dieing world for the Lord.
2-b. To help Christians that are incarcerated. First in Michigan and in other prisons in the United States.
2-c. To build a campus or half way house for Christians exiting prison.
You may be saying or asking if other Christians are doing all of the above. In part the answer is yes. However, the labours are few and far between.
Next. Christians exiting one form of society and thrown into another is not the proper way of doing things. Often a person is sent right back into the very heart of where s/he lives with zero support from the family of God. This is exactly where the ministry comes in: once the campus is built and finished a person could safely adjust to society quietly and at a pace they are comfortable with. Otherwise they are doomed for another time behind iron bars.
Is all this worth it?
The answer is yes.
Now allow yours truely to ask you some questions.
#1. If you had a family member behind bars would you not want to help them? Hopefully I hope the answer is yes. For you see God is not a one strike and your out person. God is the author if you will of second, third and fourth chances. Whereas society only gives a person only one strike and your out.
#2. How can you help?
2-a. Prayer
2-b. Hope. Always hope for a better tomorrow. Whether it's for yourself or for those incarcerated.
2-c. Financial. Just like anything in society things cost money. It costs money to build a building, buy cloths, buy food or even put gas in the car. So it costs money to run any ministry. It takes funding to buy land, houses, pay bills and such. So the ministry has to buy supplies such as ink or paper for the printer. It takes money to buy tracks, put gas in cars and trucks. It takes money to have an ISP or the ability to buy a domain name and even money to pay the light bill.
And that, dear reader is a small part of a much larger picture.
But you say, "your ministry is small. So why should I give?"
The answer is simple: to save up for the unexpected. Such as the need for a new furnace, or water heater or new roof and so forth.
Giving to a nonprofit ministry is rather easy. You give and then declare it on you income tax. In return you receive a percentage in return.
With this ministry listed as a profit ministry we hope that you will give out of the abundance of your heart. There is one small thing about this ministry: people won't give because there is no tax deductions. And so the ministry suffers in more ways than one.
Thunderdome Ministries Network has a vision and long range goals. All of which you can be a part of. The question now becomes as follows; will you help us so we came help even "the least of these?"
