Successfully Aging and Living in San Antonio is transforming our community by advancing practices and policies that improve the quality of life of older adults in Bexar County, especially those most vulnerable.

SALSA has aligned its work to that of the World Health Organization’s Eight Domains of Livability:

  • Outdoor Spaces and Buildings
  • Transportation
  • Respect and Social Inclusion
  • Housing and Built Environment
  • Communication and Information
  • Civic Participation and Employment
  • Community Support and Health Services
  • Social Participation

SALSA is a collective impact initiative. Collective impact describes an intentional way of working together and sharing information for the purpose of solving a complex problem. Proponents of collective impact believe that the approach is more likely to solve complex problems than if a single nonprofit were to approach the same problem(s) on its own.

SALSA participants are a combination of individuals and organizations, with representatives from the business community, local government, and the social sector. SALSA partners are working on issues of housing, transportation, socialization, engagement, health, and caregiver support.

We get churches engaged and working together.

Every Christian shares a biblical call to care for our community’s abused and neglected children. However, most church leaders and their families are largely unaware of the crisis and the many ways they can serve as part of the solution. Our proven ministry model ensures that the 90% of the church that will never take a child into their home understands the critical role they play in supporting the 10% who will. When the whole church body is serving and connected with community support and resources, we will be a community with a network of More than Enough for every child and family impacted by the foster care system.

These commandments that I give you today are to upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

DEUTERONOMY 6:6-7 NIV

As a Mentor Father to an abandoned boy, you have entered upon “holy ground” where God, your Heavenly Father, promises to be your Guide and Counselor. He will give you wisdom and understanding to impart to this young boy godly wisdom and life-changing strategies to overcome his difficult family situation.

The Life Journey curriculum that Fathers in the Field has developed will greatly assist you in this journey with your Field Buddy as you introduce him to his Heavenly Father.

 

The Diaconate

The Diaconate is the most natural oversight body for Fathers in the Field in the local church. This ministry will challenge the Diaconate to take an active mercy role in the local community.

If your Diaconate is too focused on looking inward, then it will need to be awakened to the crying needs of single moms and abandoned boys in your community. Sadly, the stereotypical role of the deacon is oversight of finances, setting up chairs, passing out bulletins, taking up the offering and other property needs.

While these are necessary activities, they do not go to the biblical core rationale for the Office of the Diaconate. This office of the church was originally established as a servant ministry to take care of widows and orphans in their distress (Acts 6). Fathers in the Field is a wonderful way to renew the vision of the Deacons and return them to their biblical mandate.

Women's Ministry

Engaging the women in the church is a crucial aspect of Fathers in the Field. Due to the sensitive nature of a Mentor Father relating to a single mom, it is important to have a woman to liaise with the mom and guard against the potential pitfalls of impropriety. Not only that, but women also offer invaluable insights into the needs of a single mom and the challenges that she faces. They are “wired” differently than men and think of things that men would never come up with.

One example is that our women’s Bible study collected money to give to the Field Buddies (under the Mentor Father’s supervision) to buy their mothers flowers for Mother’s Day.

As Christ’s Church, we must not stand idly by and let Satan destroy the next generation of our boys.

How does God require us, His people, to defend the cause of the fatherless and the widow? Has God changed His standard measurement of love for those of us who live in the New Testament Church Age? Does He still require us to show mercy and compassion to the fatherless and widow? How do the fatherless become part of the Church Family?

Jesus Himself answered these questions very loudly in the affirmative. He came proclaiming the truth of the Gospel through his teaching ministry and ministry of compassion to the sick and the disenfranchised. James, Jesus’ brother, also answers these questions unequivocally in James 1:27:

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

There is no wriggle room here-Christ’s Church must respond. If we don’t, God will judge us.

If we don’t, who will?

The development of an extended church family that will rally around the fatherless boy and his family is a vital component to the whole ministry. Our desire is to demonstrate to the single mother that she is not alone in her struggle to raise a family by herself and that the fatherless boy has many “uncles” and “grandfathers” that will model for him what it means to be a godly man in this world.

The deacons and women of the church will give support to the single mom as well as the boy. But this component of the ministry is not just for the abandoned boy and his mom. Because the negative impact upon abandoned girls is just as profound, our desire is that the local church ministers to the whole family. Fathers in the Field mobilizes the local church into kingdom work and awakens it to the crying needs of abandoned boys and single moms in their community.
