JJ Planter & Middle Mission Writing & Consulting

To "Enable" Home Mission Cell Groups with funding for nonprofit purposes, empowering them to reach their families, friends, and communities. The concept of MIDDLE MISSION is rooted in Mobilizing in Communities of Need.

The development and organization process begins with completing nonprofit status documents, which are prepared and finalized with the consensus of the Board of Directors.

The primary participants are individuals of all faiths from around the world who are "unaffiliated" with any religious organization or church.

In Scripture, “ministry” means service. MIDDLE MISSION operates as an online, incorporated “service” platform, spearheading the development of Home Mission Cell Groups in various locations.

• Nonprofit Status: Participants are non-members with no fiduciary obligations.
• Free Will Offerings: All contributions are voluntary, with additional funding sourced through the nonprofit status.

• Groups consist of 7-8 members, with room for growth through consensus.
• Meetings focus on reaching families, friends, and communities through training and commissioning.
• Each group will eventually:Select a Spearhead Leader.
  Appoint a Facilitator, Secretary, and Treasurer.
  
• Groups will network with others through the Spearhead Leader and meet weekly on a consistent day.

Meeting Structure:

1. Begin with prayer, worship, and fellowship (based on 2 Corinthians 14).
2. Watch the Founder’s message on a shared monitor or device.
3. Close with prayer.

Faith-based planning focuses on walking by faith, relying solely on God’s Word. The next steps are revealed as each previous step is taken.

Key Scriptural References:

• The journey of the Israelites under Moses and Joshua.
• Acts of faith, such as stepping into the Jordan River and marching around Jericho.

Faith Steps are described as “Throwing Out the Lifeline”, with the future possibility of establishing a physical worship facility guided by faith.

I am well-certified and qualified to lead this mission.

As founder and president of MIDDLE MISSION; and retired professor with 50 years of research and study under my belt; what I share are life lessons for three reasons: 1) They are relative to the life of Christ (Yeshua) in His humanity; 2) Consequently, they are relevantto our humanity; 3) They are pragmatic or practical in application.

The pragmatic approach means these life lessons bring higher truth about the “Word of the Lord” down to common ground by “unpacking,” the original meaning of Scripture compared to history, where we live, work, and play in everyday life experiences; and where the “rubber meets the road” to find our “personal” truth. In other words, they are “tailor-made” “…If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31b-32).

There are two formats of MIDDLE MISSION designed to equip the participants with “tools” and “gear them up” to overcome the odds against them in life-love relationships, career pursuits, and ministry pursuits.

· The first format is “The New Conversation.” The New Conversation changes the narrative about life experiences and encounters by focusing on characteristics, and patterns of behavior to profile personality without naming persons, places, or organizations. In other words, the conversation or dialog is taken out of the political, religious, or social arenas to avoid divisive arguments, thus changing the conversation but the participant will be able to apply the characteristics, patterns, and profiles to make quality decisions for better direction.

· The second format is “Biblical Prophecy Real Talk.” Biblical Prophecy Real Talk focuses on predictive prophecy recorded in the original manuscripts (languages) of Scripture. The predictive prophecy that has been inspired by God and written by chosen vessels is correlated to current times and situations; and also to the nature of the universe where God is seen as One with Creation. Sacred prophecy that comes through the “gift” of prophecy (1 Corinthians 12:10 and Romans 12:6) is not doom and gloom. Rather, it speaks directly to immediate situations to “admonish” and “encourage” believers to prepare for the future. The objective is to equip participants with spiritual weapons of warfare to identify and defeat evil spiritual opposition by “binding the spirit” and identify the generational “spirit of antichrist” that affects the attitudes and moods of people in society.
