"The Forge" Issue 3 Volume 17 | Page 3

I studied ministry , education , and business . I ' m certified in entrepreneurship and special education and completed Ed . D . work in education and PhD courses in business until life and choices took me in another direction .
God put that program together and allowed me to design and implement a project WE call , " Community Development through Youth Entrepreneurship ".
WE can reduce tuition at Pine Forge Academy by 50-100 %. It is simply business using a model that is exciting , relevant , and effective to make it happen .
The first step is to select the person who is willing to act as the paid Project Manager ( PM ) for the Pine Forge Academy initiative . This person does not have to be a pastor , church member , or anything more than someone committed to being on a winning team , earning income for their efforts , and telling others about OUR success .
The second step is to select paid Program Directors ( PD ) to oversee specific areas that require closely monitored implementation . Two of the primary programs are a youth business project and a national youth leadership program .
The third step is to get " Next Level " training for producing significant income for the scholarship fund to be " donated " to PFA .
Finally , if you are not ready , willing , or able to take steps 1 , 2 , or 3 , then consider the least threatening step and register for a copy of “ The Forge ”, a business magazine promoting the values , virtues , students , and alumni of a school that has changed the lives of so many students and people who have never set foot on the campus , but have been touched by a PFA graduate .
WE are www . TheNextBIGThingInAmerica . com .
WE have students who need the financial assistance . WE are recruiting the PROJECT MANAGER ( PM ) to pay for their effective work in producing a $ 200,000 to $ 400,000 monthly scholarship for Pine Forge Academy students . I didn ’ t mention Oakwood University , did I ? I should have . WE need an Oakwood team as well .
When I was a scrub , I shot the ball and hoped it went in . today , I ’ m shooting the ball and yelling “ swish ”. “ A Scrub No More !”
