Vision Onward's name has meaning both for us and for the people we hope to impact. For us, it means we move beyond apathy, to caring and beyond talk, to action to ensure that we pass on a legacy that is pleasing to God. For the people we hope to impact, it means that they will no longer be living their lives for themselves but setting a new legacy for their children and their grandchildren.

The mission of Vision Onward is to be a vehicle for the unifying ministry of the Holy Spirit serving communities in obedience to the call to "Therefore go and make disciples..." (Matthew 28:19).

The game plan for Vision Onward will include the following:

• We see a passion ignited that brings unity among churches, to share time, treasures and talents between the west and east side on an ongoing basis.
• We see soccer, baseball and softball parks within walking distance of west side kids. We see sports camps being run by local youth and adults with a passion to serve kids.
• We see a free dance studio for kids who want desperately to dance but don't have the money or the transportation to get across town.
• We see education and training classes for moms and dads—managing finances, acquiring job skills, interviewing skills, parenting skills, and so on. We see tutoring for kids.
• We see car clinics, where volunteers from automotive and body shops not only fix a car for free but teach the residents to do it themselves.
• We see a microeconomics program which provides a job opportunity and a low-cost car in recognition of completing education and training classes.
• We see a tuition-free Christian school devoted to providing outstanding education for the kids of the families that are going through the education and training classes.
