1. KINARA FOUNDATION
“Seed for the Sower; Bread for the Eater”
Isaiah 55:10

2. WHAT IS KINARA?
Kinara is the Ki-Swahili word for the ceremonial
candle holder used in the celebration of Kwanza
the traditional yearly, celebration of the Seven
African Values. The holder enables a family to
bring together the symbols of the Seven African
Values highlighted during the festival of Kwanza,
which takes place during the old Christian Octave
of Christmas.

3. In naming our foundation, KINARA, we
who come from multi-cultural backgrounds
are using this symbol of united
enlightenment to express what we are
dedicated to accomplish in the 21st Century.

4. One holder of Light with seven expressions of
that same Light to show the Way in a very dark
world
In this case, Kinara represents Seven Projects that will
bring solutions to many of the problems we face as a
nation and in our communities.

21. They are invisible to the naked eye.
Yet, we see it in faces of our nation
more and more each day.
The first one is called
METH.

24. Who are the People Most Affected
by Meth Use in the United States?

25. It Can Happen to Anyone
• Meth is not just “poor people’s crack.”

26. A Blue-Collar Drug? As If
By Corey Taule • ctaule@postregister.com
Meth has earned a reputation for being the drug of choice for
the poor and uneducated. But those who have experienced
meth, either directly or indirectly, say the drug does not
discriminate. In fact, on this the experts are unanimous.
Here’s a sampling:
The politician:
“Some of the people next to you in church, at the table next to
you at Rotary or other civic clubs, or very dear friends at this
time are desperately struggling with this issue,” said Senate
Majority Leader Bart Davis of Idaho Falls.

27. A Blue-Collar Drug? As If Cont.
The activist:
“It is not a respecter of demographics,” said John
Kulp, who along with his wife, Joyce, runs A Refuge
Ministries, a faith-based treatment program in Idaho
Falls.
The recovering addict:
“I ran into everybody,” said Cristina Mallow of Idaho
Falls. “I didn’t stick to one group of people. It was a
mix.”

28. A Blue-Collar Drug? As If Cont.
The coordinator:
“Every population,” said Emily Hoyt, who runs a support
group for grandparents who raise their grandchildren.
“Every demographic. You name it. Rich. Poor.”
The judge:
“I think that people in Idaho have their heads in the
sand,” District Court Judge Brent Moss said in response
to a question about whether Idahoans understand how
much meth impacts their communities.

29. A Statewide Problem
Right here in the heart land of Idaho, this national and international
scourge is sowing destruction and reaping the lives of men, women
and children
• In Idaho, the female prison population is growing faster than the
male population. The biggest reason is drug use — mainly meth.
• The Idaho Department of Correction estimates that nearly 80 percent
of its 784 female prisoners need intensive substance abuse
treatment.
• As of last month, 311 women were incarcerated at the Pocatello
women’s prison, which has the capacity for 279. Of the 311, 63 were
receiving intensive substance abuse treatment
More users every day by Corey Taule • ctaule@postregister.com

31. A Worldwide Problem
• The drug is more abused worldwide than cocaine and
heroin combined, according to the World Health
Organization.
• It is popular with workers in overachieving, highly
productive economies such as those in Japan and South
Korea.

32. It’s Happening Everywhere in the
United States
Meth continues to rise in the workplace
By Daniel Costello of the Los Angeles Times
From attorneys to construction workers, the use of methamphetamines to maintain
focus during long hours at the workplace proves both popular, cheap
Lawyers use it to deal with grueling workloads. Movie executives say they like how
the buzz keeps them focused as they multi-task throughout the day. It’s most popular,
researchers say, on construction sites and in manufacturing plants where workers
need to stay alert during long hours of repetitive work. And the cost—as little as $100 a
month—makes it affordable to many. Anecdotally, users talk of stirring meth into their
coffee in the morning before leaving for the office.
“A lot of people look at this like it’s No Doz—just another way to keep them awake
and on message,” said Nancy Delogu, a Washington, D.C., attorney and an expert in
workplace substance abuse.
Still, the problem of meth use remains largely unnoticed by much of corporate America

33. More Meth Information Cont.
• According to the study’s preliminary findings, meth use
cost area employers $21 million last year—about $42,000
per affected worker—in higher absenteeism and health cost
in places as rural as Arkansas.
• Among men arrested in Phoenix, 38.3 percent tested
positive for methamphetamine. Figures for other cities are:
Los Angeles, 28.7 percent; Portland, Ore., 25.4; San Diego,
36.2 percent; and San Jose, Calif., 36.9 percent.
• Meth users tend to bottom out more slowly than people
who use cocaine or heroin, possibly because the drug is so
cheap and doesn’t often lead users into financial ruin,
according to a 2002 study in the Journal of Addictive
Diseases.

34. More Meth Information Cont.
• The Entertainment Industry Referral and Assistance
Center, an employee assistance program for industry
workers and their families, says it sees one to two
methamphetamine addicts a day.
• That figure is up significantly from five years ago, said
the program’s director, Dae Medman.

35. More Meth Information Cont.
• According to the California Department of Alcohol and Drug
Programs, methamphetamines overtook heroin two years ago as the
No. 1 reason Californians are entering drug treatment.
• Nationally, use of the drug has also been growing in the Midwest
and East, according to a 2002 study by the National Institute on
Drug Abuse.
• There is too much meth out there to explain this away as a party
drug,” says Dr. Richard Rawson, associate director of the Integrated
Substance Abuse Programs at the University of California, Los
Angeles, who has studied methamphetamines for more than a
decade.

36. More Meth Information
• As many as 90 percent of meth addicts will return to the
drug. Appropriate treatment takes at least 12 months.
-Governor’s Task Force on Methamphetamine Abuse,
2004
• More than 12.3 million Americans (approximately 5.2
percent of the population) have tried methamphetamine,
and 1.5 million are regular users.
-2003 National Survey on Drug Use and
Health

37. Meth Treatment Numbers Explode
• A new report from SAMHSA shows the number of
people seeking treatment for Meth use or addiction
quadrupled from 1993 through 2003, from 13 per
100,000 to 56 admissions per 100,000 population aged
12 or older. South Dakota jumped from 5 to 90 per
100,000.

38. But why? Why is there such a huge
population using an intensely dangerous
drug?

39. This leads us to our second, even more
hidden epidemic…
SEXUAL ABUSE

40. The Truth About Sexual Abuse
• The findings emphasize the need to incorporate substance abuse
prevention programs into victimization services for children and
adolescents, Dr. Ompad said.
• Childhood sexual abuse is nearly twice as common among young
Injection Drug Users, (IDU) in this study (14.3 percent) than among
the general population (8 percent), this study reveals.
• “Childhood trauma resulting from forced sexual encounters is an
important correlate of later substance abuse,” Ompad said. “Since
risk for HIV and other blood-borne infections rises substantially
among injection drug users, it is critical to develop appropriate
prevention and treatment intervention strategies for these abused
children and adolescents.”

41. The Truth About Sexual Abuse Cont.
• “I have noticed through client histories a link between mental
disabilities and a history of sexual abuse and meth use. The mental
disabilities most prevalent in these cases are bi-polar, post-
traumatic-stress disorder, and schizophrenia.”
-CCLC Deacon Belinda
Zamecnik
Employment Specialist,
STS
• “Victims of childhood sexual abuse are likely to start using injection
drugs at a younger age than their injecting peers, according to new
research by The New York Academy of Medicine in the April issue
of the peer-reviewed American Journal of Public Health.”
- Danielle C. Ompad, PhD, an investigator in the
Academy Center for Urban Epidemiologic Studies

42. The Connection Between Sexual
Abuse and Drug Abuse
Research Summary
• A new study offers clues about why children who are sexually abused
often use illegal drugs repeatedly later in life, Reuters reported Jan. 7.
• Carl Anderson and colleagues at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass.,
found that repeated sexual abuse causes physical changes in the blood
flow and function of a brain region called the cerebellar vermis. This
region of the brain has also been found to change in people addicted to
drugs.
• "This part of the brain has been recently implicated in the coordination
of emotional behavior, is strongly affected by alcohol, cocaine, and
other drugs of abuse, and may help regulate dopamine, a
neurotransmitter critically involved in addiction," the researchers wrote.

43. The Connection Between Sexual
Abuse and Drug Abuse Cont.
• A similar study was conducted at the University of Buffalo in New
York. In that study, researchers found that post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) can increase craving in individuals dependent on
alcohol and other drugs.
• "From our research with trauma victims, we know that intrusive
trauma memories are very upsetting to patients, and now we have
shown that these trauma memory-induced negative emotions
increase craving in substance abusers with PTSD," said Scott
Coffey, a psychiatry professor at the Medical University of South
Carolina.

44. The Connection Between Sexual
Abuse and Drug Abuse Cont.
• Indeed, the literature suggests that as many as 60-84% of adult
women in drug treatment programs have been victimized by child
sexual abuse (11,14,17,18).
• The use of drugs by child sexual abuse (CSA) victims may be
related to a process of self-medication (4,19-21) in an attempt to
cope with assault-related anxieties, depression, and relationship
difficulties.
• Moreover, some studies suggest that post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD) may be a sequelae to CSA (11,22-25), and substance use
has been found to accompany PTSD diagnosis (24,26-31), possibly
as a means of self-medication.
- American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Feb, 2002
by Robert C. Freeman, Karyn Collier, Kathleen M.

45. The Connection Between Sexual
Abuse and Drug Abuse Cont.
• In a nationally representative sample, youth who experienced sexual
assault were twice as likely as their nonvictimized peers to report
past-year alcohol or other drug abuse or dependence. (Kilpatrick, D.,
Acierno, R., Saunders, B., Resnick, H., Best, C., Schnurr, P. Risk
Factors for Adolescent Substance Abuse and Dependence: Data
from a National Sample. Journal of Consulting and Clinical
Psychology 68 (1): 1-12. 2000.)
• Over one half of adolescent victims said that their first use of
substances occurred after the year they were first assaulted. (53.8%
for alcohol, 47.8% for marijuana, and 63.5% for hard drugs).
(Kilpatrick, D., Acierno, R., Saunders, B., Resnick, H., Best, C.,
Schnurr, P. National Survey of Adolescents Executive Summary.
Charleston, SC: Medical University of South Carolina, National
Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center, 1998.)

46. The Connection Between Sexual
Abuse and Drug Abuse Cont.
• Adolescent girls who have been sexually abused are more likely to
use a greater variety of substances, initiate substance use at an
earlier age, and are more likely to use substances to self-medicate
painful emotions than non-abused girls. (Harrison, P.A., Fulkerson,
J. and Beebe, T. Multiple Substance Use Among Adolescent
Physical and Sexual Abuse Victims. Child Abuse and Neglect. Vol.
21. 1997.)
• When compared to non-victims, rape survivors were 3.4 times more
likely to use marijuana, 6 times more likely to use cocaine, and 10
times more likely to use other major drugs. (Orsillo, S. Sexual
Assault Among Females. National Center for Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder, 2000.)

47. The Connection Between Sexual
Abuse and Drug Abuse Cont.
• 38-45% of women in substance abuse treatment programs are
survivors of sexual violence. (Steele, C.T. Sexual Abuse and
Chemical Dependency. The Source. Vol. 8, No. 3. 1998.)
• In a recent study of substance-abusing women who were admitted
for services sponsored by the New York City Administration for Child
Services - the public agency responsible for responding to reports of
child abuse or neglect - 24% of the women reporting had been
sexually abused in their childhood. (Kang, S., Magura, S., Laudet,
A., Whitney, S. Adverse Effect of Child Abuse Victimization Among
Substance-Using Women in Treatment, 1999.)
- Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault
2003

48. What We Stand For
• Our ministry goals are reflected in our motto:
“BRINGING THE POWER OF HEAVEN INTO THE PITS
OF HELL”
• We believe God answers prayers through direct,
grassroots outreach.

49. For change…
For restoration…
For healing…
For HOPE!

50. How It All Began
• HOPE began with Christ Charismatic Liturgical Recovery
Church over twenty years ago with a street based ministry in
Chicago, Illinois. After relocating out West we started our first
house church in Ammon, Idaho with a mission to reach out to
those whom society rejected and abused. From there, it has
grown into an outreach that has affected hundreds of people
struggling to recover and restore their lives.
• Our approach has been refined over the past ten years…

51. Step Number One
FIRST…
• We identify the problems and treat the whole person for
a full recovery from the cycle of substance and sexual
abuse.
• That means accessing the needs of each person so we
can best support someone to a clean, sober, recovered
life.
• This assessment is a basic pastoral counseling session
done in a casual setting to facilitate openness and
communication.

52. Basic Intake
• The clients are welcome to bring their family and
friends to help us understand their situation along
with any files or records they feel comfortable
sharing.
• They are asked about what their needs are and the
goals they want to achieve working with us.

53. Goals
These goals are:
1. Sobriety from drug and alcohol abuse
2. Understanding how past sexual or physical abuse led
to present substance problems
3. Working a Christian based Twelve Steps Program in
a community setting that will hold the person
accountable not only for sobriety, but also for
balanced living and relationships

54. Goals Cont.
4. Being able to “graduate” from such a setting in six
months
5. Going on to help and support others in their journey
towards sober and stable living
6. Once the initial intake is done, we then can help each
person with his or her basic needs for recovery.

55. What are those needs?

56. The Four Needs
• Housing
• Orientation
• Prosperity
• Education
People need HOPE!

57. Unsafe Environments
• Right now many people in recovery are living in
unsafe conditions in neighborhoods dominated by
circumstances which actually endanger their
sobriety.
• The following are actual pictures from a community
orientated police report on the problem of apartment
complex based drug dealing.

58. Unsafe Environments Cont.
This open drug market, in the upper left corner of the photo, sits in front
of an apartment complex and across from a nude entertainment club. It
is located on a main street in an economically depressed area, within a
few blocks from a freeway.
Rana Sampson

59. Unsafe Environments Cont.
This open drug market in a small apartment complex is one block off a main
street with both street and alley access easing entry and escape. While most
open markets use street dealers as their billboard, others, like this one,
are more brazen.

60. Unsafe Environments Cont.
The report states in part:
• Drug dealing in apartment complexes can attract other
nuisance behavior that diminishes the residents' quality
of life, such as loitering; littering (including drug
paraphernalia and used condoms); trespassing;
prostitution (including illegal sexual activity on the
property, in nearby yards, in alleys, or in driveways);
drug use; abandoned vehicles; speeding vehicles;
parking problems; unwanted additional foot, car and
bicycle traffic in residential neighborhoods; public
drinking; public urination; gang formation;…

61. Unsafe Environments Cont.
• …graffiti (establishing turf ownership of a drug market);
assaults; auto theft; auto break-ins; residential and
commercial burglaries; possession of and trafficking in
stolen property; weapons violations (including gun
possession and gun trafficking); robberies; drive-by
shootings; or other violent crime (including homicide).
• This helps explain why successfully tackling a drug
market can bring about substantial decreases in crime in
the surrounding area.

62. How can we expect sober behavior in
a drug abusive environment?

63. A Need For Better Housing
“Crucial to successful employment is the access to
affordable, safe and controlled housing. I have had
clients in successful job placements who were forced to
leave their jobs because they lost their housing and had
to leave the area to get into another affordable housing
situation or were forced to move in with relatives in
another area. I have had clients who, during the course
of job development, were unable to pay their rent and lost
their housing and dropped out of their employment
program as a result. I have also had clients who were a
success at work, but because of a non-controlled drug-
prevalent housing situation, they fell out of their program
altogether”.
-CCLC Deacon Belinda Zamecnik
Employment Specialist, STS

64. HOPE Offers:
• HOUSING: Safe, secured, supervised, substance free
environments that are clean and supportive of
recovery goals.
This funding would support:
• 35-50 people placed in nine duplex, triplex and four-
plexes
• The units within walking distance of downtown Idaho
Falls where health services, the local bus system,
churches, and our headquarters will be located

65. HOPE Housing
• Support systems such as Christian 12 Step in home
meetings would be held twice a week from house to
house to bring in-depth grassroots counseling and
sobriety support to people in recovery.
• Our experience has shown that supportive, spiritually
based fellowship is the root of successful recoveries!

66. HOPE Housing Cont.
• HOPE housing will promote zero tolerance of drugs and
alcohol through mandatory temperance supportive house
rules.
• This would include random urine or blood testing as part of
the housing agreement, a policy of no alcohol or drugs in or
around the premises, and anti-drug workshops twice a year.
• COP (Community Orientated Policing) studies show that
much of the relapse behavior comes from housing that
facilitates drug use and even drug sales.
• HOPE will bring the concept of substance free housing into
the system of recovery more aggressively into the recovery
equation.

67. HOPE Housing Cont.
• Each participant would pay a “tithe” into the program
of ten percent of each paycheck from their
employment for as long as they participate in the
Housing program. The money would help support
more housing for other people in the program.

68. HOPE Housing Cont.
• People in HOPE housing would also attend bi-weekly
training sessions on developing skills such as
budgeting, problem solving, healthy relationships,
parenting, job training, educational opportunities,
communication and practical recovery tools. These
sessions would be run through community counseling
sources such as Vocational Rehab, Mental Health
Courts, Drug Courts, the local Probation and Parole
Departments and the local Health and Welfare Offices.

69. HOPE Housing Cont.
THE PROGRAM NEEDS FUNDING TO PURCHASE
AND REHAB:
• Our present recovery house and parsonage which is
badly in need of repairs and renovation. (We’ve been
without a working well on the property for over a year
now)
• Our next rehab and parsonage facility
• The downtown headquarters for the church and the
outreach ministry, including a soup kitchen, after school
facility and space for adult education programming

70. HOPE Housing Cont.
• The future training and equine therapy
grounds
• The site for the first North Star-Eagle’s Nest
Recovery Villages
• COST: $8,781,665 (property purchasing,
leasing, and development)

71. HOPE Offers:
• But it’s not enough to have safe and
supportive housing. Recovery from
addiction and abuse takes supportive,
spiritualized healing.
• People also need…
Orientation

72. HOPE Orientation
According to Webster’s Seventh Edition,
Orientation means…
1. an adjustment or adaptation to a new
environment, situation, custom, or set of ideas
2. the direction followed in the course of a trend,
movement, or development
3. an integrated set of attitudes and beliefs

73. HOPE Orientation Cont.
• Recovery is a whole, new concept for people who
are caught up in the pain of sexual and/or substance
abuse.
What does it mean to live a life without fear?
How do you adapt to living without crisis?
How do you cope without addictive sex, destructive
patterns or substance abuse?

74. HOPE Orientation Cont.
• Living happily and sober or without abuse is a
dream world to people coming from a nightmare of
hurt, shame and abuse.
• To recover, you need to orientate your mind to a
whole new way of life.

75. HOPE Orientation Cont.
“People have no idea what happens when you’re a
victim of sexual abuse. You feel more than helpless,
you feel doomed. And then people wonder why so
many victims end up using drugs! There is a way to
recover but you need people who have been there to
help you get through it and not lose your mind.”
- Senior Deacon Lee Duplessis, CCLC’s
Victims Advocate Pastoral
Counselor

76. HOPE Orientation Cont.
• Right now the church offers weekly, home based
meetings for support and healing in a relaxed family
setting. Operation HOPE will expand to provide
twice weekly, Christian 12 Step Support Meetings.
These will reinforce the secular counseling each
client receives through the program.

77. HOPE Orientation Cont.
• The meetings will be done home to home, one at
night and one during the day to allow as many
people as possible to participate without disruption
in their work schedules.
• Support meetings will feature healthy food and
monthly presentations on nutrition, parenting and
other life skills.
• There will be time for prayer, reflection, fellowship
and fun.

78. HOPE Orientation Cont.
• Problems will be shared and solved.
• Milestones of life and sobriety will be marked and
celebrated.
• No one will ever be left out or judged!
• And most of all there will be Christian 12 Step Based
teaching each week for parents, teenagers, children
and single adults.

79. HOPE Orientation Cont.
• Each set of five houses will have a Sobriety
Coordinator to help the participants work out their
issues on a grassroots level. They will run the 12th
Step outreaches and sponsor the people in recovery
on a day to day basis. They will live near the five
house cluster and be paid by the church to act as
facilitators.

80. HOPE Orientation Cont.
• The Sobriety Coordinators are not a substitute for
the professional counselors through the various
secular agencies. However, they will help empower
and enable the basic recovery goals of the
participants by facilitating the twice weekly
meetings, working with the children and teenagers in
the program and helping them move forward to
achieving stability and restoration.

81. HOPE Orientation Cont.
• These counselors will play a pivotal part in the
recovery of each participant. Some will be clergy.
Some will be laity. But everyone will be trained in
Basic Christian Counseling skills through a college
based program through Eckhart Theological
Seminary using the Theophostic Prayer Ministry and
The Christian 12 Steps Manual.

82. HOPE Orientation Cont.
• Right now we have our in home clergy working as
volunteer Victims’ Advocates, Housing and
Employment Director and Pastoral Counseling
Coordinators. This funding will allow us to expand
the program to take in two Sobriety Coordinators
who have gone through the 12 Steps for at least one
year. They in turn can now help others and the
existing staff can now support their families.
• COST: $789,385 (salaries, benefits and training)

83. Your mind is optimistic and ready for the future.
You feel confident and supported by your fellow
travelers along the way to recovery. But this new
life needs another kind of support to truly
succeed.
People need…
Prosperity

84. HOPE Prosperity
• We need jobs that count.
• Employment that is not just busy work, but
something that gives people good, solid money in
their pockets
• A sense of pride
• And, a feeling of accomplishment with a job well
done.

85. HOPE Prosperity
• HOPE will bring community based jobs to help
people help themselves.
• Right now there are supportive employment services
fitting people into local area jobs that will bring
dignity and independence.
• That is something Deacon Belinda Zamecnik excels
in as an Employment Specialist working with local
area job placement services for the disadvantaged
and the disabled.

86. HOPE Prosperity
“Access to a sheltered, program affiliated,
employment facility has been invaluable to some of
my clients, and would be ideal for a recovery
program. The in-house employment cooperatives
available in Idaho Falls are limited to persons with
obvious severe physical or mental disabilities. I only
wish there were more comprehensive recovery
programs including in-house employment facilities
available to those with just as real, but less visible,
disabilities.”
-CCLC Deacon Belinda Zamecnik
Employment Specialist, STS

87. HOPE Prosperity
This funding will help us expand to:
• Greenhouses to grow and develop organic based
foods for senior citizen programs, homeless
shelters, shut-ins, and school lunch programs. Why
go elsewhere when we can grow it ourselves in our
own backyards year round?
• But our biggest employment opportunity will come
from an unexpected source: yellow grease

88. HOPE Prosperity
• Yellow grease is a term from the rendering
industry. It usually means used frying oils from
deep fryers and restaurants' grease traps. It can
also refer to lower-quality grades of tallow from
rendering plants.
• Yellow grease is recovered, traded as a
marginally valuable commodity, and has
traditionally been used to spray on roads as
dust control, or as animal feed additive. But
waste restaurant grease has recently become
more desirable as one source of bio-diesel fuel
for cars.

89. HOPE Prosperity
• Although most bio-diesel is developed from
renewable plant sources, namely soybeans,
yellow grease is attractive because it's cheap, it
turns waste into fuel, and the exhaust smells like
french fries.
• According to a study by Dr. K. Shaine Tyson of
the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in
Golden, Colorado, the US produces enough
yellow grease annually to make 500 million
gallons of bio-diesel.
(From Wikipedia)

90. HOPE Prosperity
• HOPE will bring in the first phase of an ongoing
program to bring alternative fuels on a commercially
competitive basis to the Northwestern United States
and beyond.
• Our bio-diesel recovery factories will collect unused,
refuse grease from local area restaurants and fast
food facilities and turn them into low cost fuels for
sale to state and federal buses, trucking companies,
and private heating oil clients.

91. HOPE Prosperity
The grease industry, an offshoot of the rendering
industry, revolves around a product called yellow
grease. It comes from soy oil, canola oil and other
oils that are used to cook everything from French
fries to catfish fillets. Large fast-food restaurants
generate hundreds of pounds of used oil every
month. Smaller restaurants may filter and reuse the
oil for a while, but ultimately it has to go, and you
can't just pour it down the drain. As my friend Teresa
remarks, "I'd be happy to have someone come and
take my grease away." Thus we have an industry.
(“GREASE RUSTLERS” Salon.com)

92. HOPE Prosperity
• The trade in “yellow grease” is fast becoming an
income source for many people around the
world. HOPE will take this over looked
commodity and turn it into something that will
make life golden for many people looking for
long term jobs that benefit the community
around them.

93. HOPE Prosperity
1. With a little training, anyone can collect the oil
in barrels from the local restaurants…

94. HOPE Prosperity
2. Run them to our factories…

95. HOPE Prosperity
3. And then, produce bio-diesel fuels from
what
is collected every day.

96. HOPE Prosperity
• The cost is competitive…

97. HOPE Prosperity
Biodiesel Production Costs
Operating expenses were estimated at 31 cents per
gallon (2002 cents), excluding the cost of the oil or
grease and energy, and the sale of the glycerol was
estimated to reduce the cost by 15 cents per gallon of
biodiesel.
The biodiesel production process uses, for each
gallon, 0.083 kilowatt-hours of electricity and 38,300
British thermal units (Btu) of natural gas. EIA estimates
energy costs (in 2002 cents) of 18 cents per gallon in
2004 and 16 cents per gallon in 2005 and 2006.

98. HOPE Prosperity
• Is there a market?

99. HOPE Prosperity
• Any Diesel engine can run on biodiesel, a
diesel fuel made from vegetable oil, this book
tells you how. In From the Fryer to the Fuel
Tank, expert Joshua Tickell unveils the
problems with our fossil fuel dependency
and offers a surprisingly simple solution:
cheap, clean-burning biodiesel.
(Biodiesel.com)

100. HOPE Prosperity
• Bio-diesel is already used in the buses for the local INEL site, at
Yellowstone National Park, and in many other commercial vehicles.
The government is interested in a source for converted yellow
grease diesel. How about reclaimed, “throw away” grease being
reclaimed by reclaimed, “throw away” victims?

101. HOPE Prosperity
This is just the first of many such plants.
• We plan on expanding to include mustard oil and
switch grass oil farms and extraction plants to
service community and in-house needs for fuel.
• Our on-going five to ten year plans include re-
designing the diesel engine to fit an aerodynamic
and modern day car with recycled materials,
produced in environmentally friendly factories.

102. HOPE Prosperity
• These plants will not only employ our target group,
but also many other people struggling to make ends
meet. Idaho must find another source of income
since we are faced with a shrinking market for our
“famous potatoes.” Renewable, agriculturally and
culturally based fuel could be the answer for this
state and others around it.
• COST: $223,000

103. HOPE Education
• Lastly, people need:
EDUCATION
• It is education that gives the wind to the
sails of our dreams…

104. HOPE Education
• Most people in recovery lack the educational
skills they need to have a viable future for
themselves and their children. Our own personal
experiences with the people in our church
outreach have shown that abuse helps to
destroy a person’s self esteem.

105. HOPE Education
If you have always been beaten down…
• Why not use drugs?
• Why not drink?
• Why believe in yourself at all?

106. HOPE Education
• For many people, education is the key to
believing in a better life beyond the pain of what
they can see.
• Right now, the church helps with coordinating
scholarships and tutoring for children and adults
who want to learn in supportive atmosphere.

107. HOPE Education
HOPE will expand our educational outreach into the
lives of recovery people with:
• Coordinating tutors, after school programs, and
even private scholarships for children from abusive
or dysfunctional households.
• There can be no future for our children unless they
can keep up with the demands of a 21st century
education. Some day we hope to have a full school
system of our own that is orientated towards
recovery goals. But for now, we will bring support to
the ones which already exist.

108. HOPE Education
• Adult education that teaches everything from private
investigation to English as a second language. If we
want people to become a part of our society as
recovered members or United States citizens, we
need to teach them what they need, not stand on
the sidelines and berate them. HOPE will work with
such schools as Professional Institute of Education
to help participants achieve career certifications,
diplomas, or degrees.

109. HOPE Education
• No dream is beyond what can be achieved.
• Funding will pay for computers, online classes,
supplies, books, equipment and part time
teacher’s stipends.
• COST: $201,700

120. How much does it cost to change
someone’s life?

121. The Difference
“The right amount of money put in the right hands, at the
right place, at the right time, can mean the difference
between life and death for a lot of people.”
-Deacon Robert
Zamecnik
HOPE Project Manager

122. What we are facing now
is a crisis unlike anything we have ever
seen as a nation.

123. Conclusion
A recent A & E report, “Meth’s Deadly High”,
broadcasted on Sunday, June 25th, 2006, outlined
the devastation this drug has caused:
• The most frightening one is this: meth causes
permanent damage to the brain and raises the
brain’s level of dopamine, which converts a normal
brain into one similar to a paranoid schizophrenic.
That same researcher discovered that 1 out of every
4 person admitted to the emergency rooms in
California is a meth user.

124. Conclusion Cont.
• Imagine that many people with PERMANENT
brain damage!
• Never before have we had so many people held
captive in the chains of such a destructive force
as meth.

125. We have to reach out and bring healing
and support to the families imprisoned in this
nightmare.

126. We also have to heal the roots of the
nightmare-which is sexual abuse!

127. Our program must expand to help counter
this epidemic of abuse and enslavement.

128. We already have twenty-five other pastors from all
over the country and all over the world that are
waiting to be trained on how to set up Christian
Recovery Churches, houses and villages.
They in turn will train others.
And it will grow…
Like dawn in the middle of the darkness of night.

129. Help bring us HOPE!

130. Joel 4:
“The LORD says, change your life, not just your clothes. God's
giving you a teacher to train you how to live right—Teaching, like
rain out of heaven, showers of words to refresh and nourish your
soul…”
"I will give you back what you lost to the stripping locusts, the
cutting locusts, the swarming locusts, and the hopping locusts…”
“You'll eat your fill of good food. You'll be full of praises to your
God; You'll know without question that I'm in the thick of life with
Israel, that I'm your God, yes, your God, the one and only real
God. Never again will you be despised.”
