About Me


BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE, PLEASE READ THE "GENERAL" SECTION IMMEDIATLY TO THE LEFT. THEN COME BACK TO THIS SECTION. Thank you :-)

"About Me" is an interesting title. I am not trying to sound "overly spiritual" but I try real hard to keep a well balanced perspective on things. I say that to say this, this catagory isn't about me at all. It is ALL about Him and what we are trying to do to serve Him. Him being the Lord

IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE, PLEASE READ !!

WE NEED HELP PLEASE.

Greetings from Pastor Rick in Akron Ohio

Hello everyone. Our inner city youth program/ministries need some help and it won't cost you a thing, ok, maybe just a little bit in postage.

Bottom line is, PLEASE help us earn/win a van! We have between 100-150 kids and youth come to our Reach Out Center for Youth and Family. We have many activities, youth functions and field trips etc, to take these kids on. The problem is, WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TRANSPORTATION to take all those who want to participate in these activities.

WE FOUND A PARTIAL SOLUTION .

Campbell's soup offers a program where we can earn a FREE Van. All we have to do is gather enough points by collecting labels from their products. Different labels represent a different amount of points. Once we have enough points, in this case One Million Five Hundred Thousand, we get a brand new van! We need several vans new or used, but even one new van would be a real blessing.

The "Labels for Education/Transportation" program is a great way for us to get help for our Youth programs, and it’s even better this year. Campbell’s has made it easier for the Reach Out Center for Youth and Family to reach our collection goal with over 150 products now worth 5 points! To meet our goals, we need to collect 1,500,000.00 points. This may seem like a lot of labels/points, but AS FAST AS WORD CAN TRAVEL ON THE INTERNET this is an obtainable goal.

I'm confident IF YOU WILL HELP collect labels AND forward this need/request to responsible and caring people in your circle of friends, we can do what otherwise might seem impossible (cut and paste looks more professional than "forwarding" and is easier to read). With your help, the Reach Out Center for Youth and Family can make this year the best ever!

WHAT LABELS DO I SAVE?

There is a partial list below, however I have a virus free, 2 page color pdf file that shows all the labels in the program, and what part of the label is needed. I would love to send this to you so you can help us! If you can't open the file, or prefer a full color email, please let me know and I'll get it to you right away.

Participating in the program is easy — simply save proofs of purchase from participating Campbell products and send them to our Reach Out Center. Some of the products eligible for redemption in the program include:

Campbell's® soups Campbell's,, or Franco-American® SpaghettiOs® pasta Campbell's® beans, gravies, and canned pasta Prego® pasta sauces Swanson® broths and canned poultry Campbell's® tomato juice Pepperidge Farm® breads, cookies, crackers, and frozen products Campbell's® Foodservice products

THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS ARE CURRENTLY WORTH 5 POINTS!

26 varieties of condensed soup in specially marked cans All Campbell’s® Microwaveable Soups All Campbell’s® Supper Bakes® Meal Kits Al V8 Splash® Beverages All Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® crackers

CONTACT INFORMATION

If you have any questions, or would like to help with our LABELS FOR TRANSPORTATION collection drive, please contact our program coordinator, Pastor Rick at (330) 798-1310. Due to the amount of calls, if we do not answer right away please leave a complete message . We WILL return callers who leave detailed messages. I would love to personally talk to all of you as I am a personable kind of guy!

My Interests

Just like a Church should be. Just like Jesus's arms are. This Myspace page is open to all who will enter. It is a place where imperfect people are perfectly welcome! If you want to look down on me for that (some have), let me know so we can pray for you. Instead of looking down, try looking up, for there you will find your answers.

If you are faint of heart, or your sensibilities are easily offended when you don't get your daily dose of ear candy, then this site is not for you. I try very hard to share the Truth, and share it in love, no matter how unpopular the topic may be. However some people, no matter how hard you try, refuse by their own choice, to receive it that way.

Jesus was perfect and He offended thousands. To the point they took His life. I will never be as great a man as Jesus, so who am I to think I won't offend a few people along the way? As a matter of fact, it is certain that I will. If life hadn't shown me this already, opinionated people on Myspace certainly have.

It takes guts, courage and a Holy Ghost boldness to be a part of this ministry. If you want candy coated semi truths, then go buy yourself some semi sweet chocolate made in His likeness. Chew on that for awhile, let us know how that works for you. We don't preach sickening sweet agendas or tickle your ears to make you feel warm and fuzzy. We believe in "Truth, NOT Tolerance". Enough said!

SOME OF MY PASSIONS:

My Wife, Music, Drama, Worship leader, Retreat worship leader, Discipleship training and more. Photography

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who wants to help and realizes the value of making a difference in other peoples lives! Also talented or gifted individuals who would like to showcase and hone their talents to entertain/bless/minister at the Reach Out Center for Youth and Family

Any "famous" people out there who would like to help with a fund raiser would be nice too! Our community, and the young people in it need all the love we can give them.

Music:

Oldies Doo Wop, Moral Country, Christian, and intimate Worship songs.

Movies:

There are some good ones out here. Mostly I like movies based on true stories, especially motivational ones!

Television:

Hmmm, tough one.

Books:

Don't have time for leisurely reading. So the "Good Book" has to be my favorite.

Heroes:

Anybody who helps others in need is a Hero in my eyes!
