TACT Serving the Community

This past year, sometime around Christmas, I had the delightful honor of working with TACT GenJ to help feed the homeless in our area. For me, this is part of the boots on the ground for GenJ. So often we hear politicians talk about how the community needs to step up and "change the culture." When we helped to feed the homeless, we were being that change. We were making a difference in our community. Politics is about more than simply getting your guy elected, it is also making meaningful connections to people and changing our culture. I hope that this year TACT GenJ will continue to make these relationships and be a voice for good in our community.

Here is a letter from Mrs. Francis Hill, Coordinator for Mission of Hope, to TACT GenJ:

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ.
Greetings to you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour!

We Certainly want to thank you for partnering with us in our time serving with the Mission of Hope. we enjoyed our time of fellowship, hospitality and delicious meals together.

we trust that you will partner with us in the future while serving with the Mission of Hope. May the Lord continue to bless you is our prayer.

in his service ,
Mrs. Francis Hill

iAdvocate: Mock Legislative Program

Avalon Hills Bible Church

5728 Indian River Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23464
This Saturday, Feb 25, 8:30 - 5 p.m.

Students in the Hampton Roads area have a fun and exciting opportunity to learn about U.S. government from a hands-on, interactive, Christ-centered perspective!

This program features interactive activities that simulate what a legislator encounters when he or she tries to draft and advocate legislation. Participants will have to choose between competing priorities such as personal legislative goals, the goals of his or her party, and the professional agreements he or she has made with other participants. Participants will start with drafting legislation in a small committee, and will progress to an official legislative session where they will have the chance to debate and vote on their legislation.
