The Cross - Self Improvement Base "The Cross", an Amarillo Outreach Ministry for homeless, set on fire

The Cross - Self Improvement Base "The Cross", an Amarillo Outreach Ministry for homeless, set on fire

"The Cross" is a self-improvement based in Amarillo, Texas. It is an outreach ministry for veterans, homeless without money, and the unemployed; all of whom want to find work. It serves the community, and the environment in which to find the citizens for the helper slightly fine workers.

The Amarillo Globe "Police Briefs" read the headlines: "The police suspect arson in Outreach Ministry" on fire on Wednesday 27 January, set 2009. The impact of this is set on fire as of the Amarillo Globe News reports, the focus of this commentary.

Police investigators said Pastor Gary Burd that a criminal report was tabled on 15.00, after the Amarillo Globe. It is said that "a disgruntled customer" could, which have set the Cross (also known as the "City of Refuge" Outreach Ministry) on fire.

But there are two very different explanations.

Casey Dumas - an outreach ministry Pastor on the cross of the good new Christ teaches our veterans and homeless of Amarillo, and all who visit his daily sermons - said that it may have been set on fire by the estranged husband of a volunteer who works there.

Or, he said, it could be an acquaintance of the husband of the volunteers were to do it, her husband to frame was to bind, in an act of revenge; as fire investigation evidence of intent exposed, and not the cross is set on fire in a spontaneous act of passion.

The motivation - whether the cross was set on fire in an act of passion or revenge - is irrelevant to the subject of this article, the needy and our veterans is the mission of the Cross to help find work and a base for spreading the Good news of Christ.

told Dumas that the investigation is still ongoing. He pointed out that the City of Refuge Outreach Ministry has no plans to initiate fire accusation against anyone is placed over the cross fire.

The cross, a base for veterans job search

I heard radio host Michael Savage demean veterans and homeless for human excreting waste in business district of San Francisco. But he was no solution to the problem, such as the homeless find work to help other than incarceration.

"The Cross" in Amarillo has a solution for homeless people need the call of nature observed. It has a public toilet, which is available:

  • Our veterans
  • homeless,
  • Who wants to find work.

of alternative thinking. It stinks. What would happen if "The Cross" were forced to close their doors due to lack of funding?

Outreach Ministry

The quick response to the Amarillo Fire Department preventing major damage. "The Cross" continue to serve our veterans and homeless people, as reported in the Amarillo Globe News.

Dumas pointed out that the City of Refuge Outreach Ministry has no plans to fire fire charges against anyone over the cross is set to initiate.

The Amarillo Globe reports that the Cross Outreach Ministry, which is run by Christian Heritage Church, breakfast to Amarillo veterans and homeless feeds. Our veterans, citizens of Amarillo, and the homeless have a place to wait - on the Cross - while they seek day work.

Self Improvement Base

"The Cross" offers Amarillo veterans and homeless following self improvement services:

  • Daily Devotions and prayers
  • continental breakfast and sack lunch to go,
  • family Pantry boxes are distributed,
  • employment counseling
  • Clear recommendations for multiple needs,
  • clothing distribution,
  • distribution Hygiene products,
  • access to telephone, fax and photocopier,
  • Bibles and Christian literature,
  • mail / Written message and announced for retrieval
  • Outreach Ministry of Hospitalized and the Incarcerated.

"The Cross" does help a lot more than Amarillo homeless. Amarillo veterans can apply by means of self-improvement:

  • advantages
  • Consulting
  • War Trauma Recovery Program (planned for the near future).

Several homeless said on the cross, that they have plans for self-improvement, after they find work for GED classes to pay.

The cross is set on fire, could be a disadvantage for the noble work that it works if the decent people of Amarillo to finish it make donations because of the evil deed.

Or Amarillo citizens - and maybe even people from around the world - to increase support for the cross could be set on fire for advertising that resulted therefrom. Please support the Cross Outreach Ministry basis for our veterans and homeless because it is a valuable service to the community and environment.

Chibok Girls: A case to be

Chibok Girls: A case to be Proven

In response to the massive public outcry, of the 2014 alleged kidnapping of Chibok welcomes April 14 girls by a state secondary school in Chibok far, a quiet town in Bono State, I argue herewith that have not been denied or countered due to the overwhelming facts that involved the people and government, no such incident took place actually.

Bornu state is only one of the northern states in the northeast of the Federation, the first hand the senseless blood cuddling activities caused by a government of night mare ... the dreaded terrorist group known as the Boko has experienced Haram.

Nigeria and Nigerians in general, of course, peace-loving people who, despite the arrangements of several diversified ethno-cultural groups peacefully among themselves were together dispersed existing across the country.

In the history of the existence of this great country, we have, like any other country in the world is experiencing our own share of violence, unrest, political insurgency and communal conflict, but we have never experienced pointless indiscriminately, un provoked killings in the manner that the dreaded Boko Haram group have hidden under the pretext to get rid of fighting for a nation "Western evil", operated as claimed by the insurgents.

The purpose of this article is not to address the dreaded terrorist group, equipped the nonsense of the security efforts of the past and present government and showed us in sharp details with their daring attack on the security formations, has as made porous and ill to ventilate our security forces, but my views on the well-known story about the alleged abduction of 250 girls from a public school in Bornu state.

I will total spread the news of abducted girl like wildfire across the nation and the international community in the silence, to have observed the rate. The whole world frowned on it with head of states and their spouses rightly points such in-human condemnation they act all kind of names of 'coward' on 'barbaric', 'inhuman' call ... you name it. .

By various accounts, the history behind the kidnapping behind the Boko Haram group claimed responsibility for the alleged cowardly act

My argument is based on this simple statement;

'The Boko Haram group has from Chibok not kidnap 250 girls, as the general public be misled to believe. "

My reasons are not far-fetched. Reportedly 250 girls were abducted while on a physics exam sitting as part of the West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations at the time to be carried out. Now, recorded in the History of the west African examination Council has not only school 200 students tests registered for its physics before

We all know across the country.

that as far as education in Nigeria relates that in the white man's purchase westward into the ranks tops when it comes to guardianship affairs of modern society. They believe strongly in the abundant benefits of education and as such the majority of born children there in schools at the end for whatever amount of education they can possibly get.

the case is quite different in the north, especially in the northeast, where the government still give incentives for people, has encouraging them to these incentives in the school and in most cases will not yet serve as enough motivation to keep their citizens in the school. is the fact that a good number of people from the Northeast do not believe in the education of girls to this huge backdrop.

now in a state that has barely enough boys in secondary schools, as it can be to have to claim for physics tests 250, girl?

Now let us assume that they manage to prove me wrong (they still are), by tilting the exact number of female candidates for physics, a course that made to fear most Nigerians girls due to its complexity and mathematical intricacies, how does this "so-called girls where not registered with the west African Examination Council.

the Nigerian, I am proud to say that I went through the Nigerian school system and the best of my knowledge, all candidates for external examinations in the country are properly registered for identification purposes and as a means to curb examination misconduct ... so, tell the authorities that WAEC can not find the name of this girl? Why have their names not be published as in any case, a national tragedy of this magnitude obtainable?

Another point to note is that this magnitude of female students from anywhere to carry, you would probably three huge 40-seater buses have (assuming you intend to it cramp in). The type of bus transport companies as "Chisco" and "Ekene dili Chukwu used.

Suppose you are able to sneak the empty buses in the state, past the outrageous number of checkpoints from eagled eye safety got workers throughout the state occupied, how would the same buses now screaming with 250 occupied, shrieking and past girls' school by that same checkpoint bewilded without any form of suspicion to increase at all.

well, even if they were make able this school girls through bush tracks in the deepest parts of the jungle on foot, such as where they proclaim able all these girls, without suspicion of local farmers raising that must have been the agriculture or at the time, the countless number of hunters in the forest lurks in search of game. These girls are not cows that would wander without a lot of noise, it would definitely fear those among them, and when fear, human instinct kicks in releasing adrenalin implementing either a flight or fight response ... how many were the kidnappers that they had successfully accompany able to 250 girls (which for me is a big crowd) easy to escape without any ... even in situations of war, 250 prisoners in a single blow a Herculean task for qualified military fighters would have been to get not to talk of unskilled, sneakers wearing, illiterate guerrilla fighters.

How were departing Chibok village without arousing stir the situation insurgents ... I am well aware that the insurgents generate enough noise to announce her presence during an operation, as no one comes to security forces ongoing alerted abductions, how could they have gone in as calm as the owl, by their attack in broad daylight and fled with their "prey", without so much as a single resistance of the villagers in broad daylight (with the exception of physics examination was written Apart from these questions that beg for answers, there are conflicting reports of alleged eyewitnesses and also the director of the school, who has a daughter at school, but her daughter managed at night)

kidnapped to escape. How come no human victims were, we also know that the dreaded terrorist group for leaving a trail of corpses are unpopular in the course of their operations.

Why have the names of the parents of the girls not published?

Why we have not seen their faces on national television to be weeping, crying and begging reunited with their innocent teenage daughters ...?

We. As Nigerians in our haste to condemn the activities of these religious zealots have failed, the lies seen behind this tale of woe that the media has brought us

Needless to say, not a few have benefited from this propaganda.

trust Nigerians and their sense of business opportunities. As soon as the news hit city, emerged tonnes of Girls groups throughout the country, against the kidnapping the girl protesting thousands of people were mobilized from the individuals and NGOs. Recently, a pioneer was founder of one of our girls group bring a hefty government job offered in recognition of their efforts to canvassing for massive assistance in compelling the government quickly to take necessary measures to rescue the kidnapped girl.

In the aftermath of the kidnapping, defense budget rose as the army was commissioned by the government to ensure the safe return of the innocent girls.

Recently, it was claimed that one of the girls escaped, stories of suffering of the camp, as the victims were sexually assaulted, raped and forced into marriage by the militants. She even told how some of them got pregnant ... well, if she could escape, then they should also be able to lead the Nigerian troops back by their escape route to rescue their other friends, but instead was her story immediately circulated, if it had been treated in real cases their flight as a security secret in order not the kidnappers too intimate and engaging it in other hidden places, to prevent their victims.

This brings us to another point. The Nigerian army to be known as one of the best in the whole of Africa, an army that has strong and skilled enough to quell the civil war fought against them by well-trained and amazingly skilled Biafran participated in several peacekeeping missions around the world, an army soldier, an armed force, the instrument was keeping Mali could not use its military power as one and justify the huge amounts of their education spent monitored in locating and these girls save ...

Even the United States , with their support and their fleet of surveillance drones and satellites can not find the girl could help?

Are you telling me that they are hidden under the ground, away from the prying eyes of the many satellites in the sky dotting ...?

The delirium argument would be to make an argument, without base.

I believe that the kidnapping of these girls was just a story of some very strong Nigerians in their usual performance made scramble game. It is a story meant to serve their selfish interests, but blew somehow uncontrollable proportion. I bet she did not think that the international community would be interested in this in the kidnapping of some random girl from a remote village.

is This particular group is likely to destabilize people in the northern region with the ongoing insurgency as a cover up, so that they could continue illegal to sell arms to get juicy contracts to build new army formations and their political opponents to destabilize.

How are we sure that the group responsible for this heinous act claiming the original "Boko Haram are?

Enough is enough, we deserve as Nigerians the truth. I humbly that the new president should use the power of his office and ordered a large-scale investigation into the alleged missing girl case ... let the investigators from the office WAEC begin, let them provide the name of this girl, let the parents of the girls come forth, they can tell the headmaster, as 250 girls disappeared in their custody, they leave the armed forces were to explain how the large number of female students without so much as a single defensive past them fired shot of them in the jungle couriered.

Let be answered all these questions, and I will personally take part in the search for the missing girls.

Crisis Management PR - Tell It All, Tell It Fast And Tell The Truth

Crisis Management PR - Tell It All, Tell It Fast And Tell The Truth

I turned on the TV news recently learned that one of our top soccer teams have an important game lost due to illness, which the story that brought us from a reporter stationed outside the hotel where the players enjoyed lunch before the game.

In the car, the cover story was on the radio news with a reporter read the story, said to be back in front of the hotel. He confirmed that the police had collected samples from the restaurant to pass on the health authorities.

You know what? The story was also the lead in the tabloid newspapers sat on my desk when I reached the office. Photographs of the hotel in question generally supported the story.

as a PR professional, I go to reflect what the hotel PR people are through this morning. This is a prestigious hotel group with a well-designed brand image of quality on premium end of the market. Here they are, in the spotlight for all the wrong kind of reasons!

you will surely have a documented crisis management plan or in softer terms, a PR communication plan. But it is not only global companies that need to work out a plan in advance. As in business, or even a not-for-profit organization is running, each relies on the risk of a public relations crisis.

No organization is very far from crises and the resulting media attention. Your reputation can be washed away or severely damaged in an instant. A crisis is any situation that threatens the integrity or reputation of your company has to generally unfavorable or negative media attention.

give these situations, any kind of dispute, theft, accident, fire, flood or manmade disaster that could be attributed to your business. It can also be a situation in which in the eyes of the media or general public your company did not respond to any of the above situations in an appropriate manner. This definition is not exhaustive, but is intended to give you for the types of situations have an idea where you may need to follow this plan.

Crisis management is a complex subject, but here are five tips to get you started. And begin, you must.

1. Do not wait. Many organizations only receive their contingency plans running has again struck a disaster. Instead, brainstorming possible scenarios or types of disasters that could happen, and begin to plan for it. In fact, I have found this to be a positive process, as executives exchange bringing together ideas and examine scenarios often brings a number of questions that they can advance. accept

2. Realise the crises a wide range of forms. As I said, this may be from the hand of customer dissatisfaction to a lawsuit from the hotel crisis all broadcast over the Internet. I even remember a weekend call from a scout leader whose campsite had to be injured in storms washed away with some children; the media were on the phone they pressed for the story! They will all need slightly different answers. Brainstorming and prepare for as many as you can imagine.

3. to develop PR communication plan. A flood of media attention can be within minutes of the news breaking swamp. Also think about how you can get information about employees, supporters and investors and customers - yes, do not forget to get your side of the story to customers as quickly as possible. Internal communication is just as important as the communication to the general public.

A physical plan has to do with it, all out of the building in an earthquake. A communication plan includes identifying a speaker, to develop press releases, set up a media hotline, and looking for a place where you can have a press conference.

4. Be willing to talk to the media and to your constituents. Even if you plan to say much because your lawyer concerned about the liability, so, to say what you can, as quickly as possible. Be concerned to show concern, speak concern, and always tell the truth. That does not mean you have anything to say, never lie at once, but never.

5. Enter media training for executives. Do this before a disaster occurs. Make it an integral part of the management and executive employees training. Media training does not cost much, if someone on the board have to work in public relations or someone who is a member of the media. The key is to do it regularly so that new people always trained and others do not grow stale.

Do not hesitate your crisis planning. Do not waste your hard-earned reputation ruin through difficult situations bad handling! The directors and PR team of the hotel this morning went last night to bed little to know the explosion of unwanted advertising that they faced this morning. We hope their PR communication plan will be a reliable helper today!
