Purpose
Numerous times people have asked how they might be able to help us in our mission. This webpage is specifically written to help those who are interested to help in this way.
Ways to Help
If you can help in any of these ways (whether a lot
or a little) please
let me know.
(1) Obedience
By far our greatest need is for you to start obeying the Bible more, by real faith in the Biblical Jesus. Our prayer is that the resources we provide will promote this in people’s lives.
(2) Proof Readers
This is one of our biggest needs. You do not need to be “good” at anything, you just need to be available to help and tell us if what we wrote make sense to you as a reader.
(3) Housing
Sometimes we need places for people to live whether that is for missionary work or when people want to get their lives right. If you could possibly help to some degree in this way (no matter what location in the world) then let us know to what capacity you can help so we can have a running list.
(4) We Need Backlinks
As long as you have a useful website, getting an advantage on the internet ultimately boils down to a very simple principle:
The more sites that link to our three websites, the more internet traffic we get, and the more our message can get a chance to influence more people. You might be able to see how generating links throughout the internet could potentially make a large impact. Not only do more people find out about websites on blogs this way, but overall, Google and other search engines think a sight is more “authoritative” the more links it has. Very Simply put: Google basically sends the most people to websites that have the most links pointing to them.
If you think that what we offer is useful, we deeply appreciate any help you might be able give in “getting the word out” for our websites.
Although this can take a lot of concentrated time and work in posting on blogs and writing emails to various websites to link to us, this is a very effective way that people can significantly help us without paying a dime. And what can you do to get started? Simply try Googling, “Link Building Strategies”, and if you need more ideas feel free to contact me.
(Note: please DO NOT ever pay anyone for any “paid links” or any other “secret online success tricks” or “SEO” training of any kind! If you pay for any of these things, you will nearly always sin greatly under their deception in the process.)
(5) Financial
Some have offered to help in this way, and if it happens that you also are able and would like to help in this way it is deeply appreciated.
(1) Go to Any Wells Fargo or Wachovia
Bank in Your Area
Generally speaking, you can go into any Wells Fargo
or Wachovia Bank in the USA, ask them to look up “Josiahs Scott,” (from
Gainesville/ “Newberry,” FL) and put funds into my account.
[Note: If you have
any complications attempting to do this, please call or email me]
(2) Help by Mail
You can send cash or check to:
432 SW 143rd
St
Newberry, FL 32669
[For now, make any checks out to “Josiahs Scott”]
Please indicate in your letter if you would like to give generally or specifically. If you give generally then we can generally direct these funds to the most urgent needs so we can focus on our mission. If you give specifically then we can reserve these funds for the particular purpose you specify (for example, to the production and printing of the book or to disciples in need).
(3) Financial Accountability/ Financial Safety
· I am seeking out every good opportunity I can find for financial accountability. This includes the fact that I let my bank make other faithful disciples to be “co-owners” of the checking account which I use to budget out finances, so that they could see everything that comes and goes right from their online banking.
· For further accountability and as a simple safety precaution, you can email FA@TrueConnection.org for any donation, and this automatically forwards to myself and our two other disciples who help with these financial needs. This way three of us can quickly be informed and sensitive to confirm any financial transactions that may take place. We like doing things ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses.’

Goals
Short-term and Long-Term
Goal 1 – Get the Book Printed/ Published
We are aiming to print 1,000 (or more?) copies of “Divorce and Remarriage Repentance Revolution” (1st printing).
This includes the costs of producing the book, as well as the final cost of printing it.
[Note: We are already set up with a
printer at a very good rate]
Goal 2 – Help Disciples in Need
I need my spiritual children to be provided for
We have humble and eager disciples with great needs. If they have these needs met, they are ready to work on Bible studies and volunteer to help our mission. I deeply need them to be in a safe place both for their sake (because I care for their souls) and because they are a vital asset to our mission and I need them to be able to help. This financial need is probably one of the primary limiting factors that I have as to how much I can get done, because the need is so great. My primary financial need is not supplying my own finances, but helping those of my learners who co-labor with me in truth.
Goal 3 – Create a Discipleship Training Apprenticeship Base (DTA Base)
(1) Purpose
Home base to work on Bible studies, books and resources to call the modern church to repentance and salvation that results in actually obeying all the Bible. Ultimately we would like to have long-term and short-term Discipleship Training communities where people can come get discipled.
(2) People
We have already got a team of faithful and approved volunteers ready to help whenever God may provide some kind of a “home base” in this way.
Goal 4 – Develop Many Other Resources
Here are some other, much more long-term
goals that we would really like to accomplish if God will somehow let us at
some point:
(1) Possible Books God May Allow us to Complete
that some point
· Purity – the title we have so far is, “The No Dating Scriptures” [we already have this in track form on www.TrueConnection.org]
· Modesty – “The Biblical Dress Code” (we are extremely excited about this, but not expecting it to be done anytime soon as far as we know)
· The main call of repentance – calling the modern church to completely repent, and finely obey Jesus, and get really saved from sin. (We do not necessarily have a final ‘title’ for this yet)
· Other books that we don’t know about yet?
(2) Translation
We do not know for sure if God would ever let us take on such an enormous project, but we do know for sure that such a thing is definitely needed. With many hundreds of years of English translations, no major version has ever come out that simply put exactly what God said, and helped explain the Greek for the English reader, and we groan for someone to do a version with real integrity that will make what God actually said accessible to English readers. Whether it is by our team, or some other group that really cares about truth, may God have mercy on the human race that speaks English and finally give us a thorough representation with integrity that actually shows what God said!
This is a summary I am still developing for what I have put together so far for this great need:

(3) Tracts & Other Resources
Not surprisingly, there are many tracks and much preaching trying to tell “the world out there” that they ought to become proselytes of christendom, but there are much fewer tracks that actually tell the church to repent, even though they are clearly more lost than the rest of the world “out there” who do not even attend church! Some churches have the hypocrisy to post signs as you are leaving their parking lot that say, “You are Now Entering the Mission Field,” but it is about time someone turned these signs around and finally saved the most unsaved group ever!
We are laboring for this honorable ambition for the sake of truth. May God help us develop such resources and participate in this great call to see the modern church repent.
