The Purpose of the Oak Initiative

America is in crisis, possibly the greatest threat to its continued existence yet. However, we can do something about it, and that is the Purpose of The Oak Initiative.

    Along with a political and spiritual shift we find our self in need of a shift in our core values and there are signs that this shift is

happening. Unlike many other groups, our goal is to see the development of leaders and leadership skills in our members so that along with a shift in the spirit of   America, we are ready to champion the core values that are based on biblical or kingdom principles and wisdom. Then it will be the blend of a  spiritual awakening with sound wisdom that will lay a foundation for lasting results. 

    We not only want to identify leaders and develop leadership skills in our members but we want to encourage our members to find the

wisdom of Daniel who as a captive servant in the realm of a foreign king was able to transform a nation through devotion to his King, strength of character and  values, and with a controlled voice governed by respect, grace, and virtue. It was then that his wisdom caught the attention of all those around him as he was moved by the hand of God and prepared a seat for him as governor of the land from one kingdom into the next. Kingdoms literally  passed over him as his seat of responsibility remained unchanged if not increased.

    For us, it is not simply about measuring, evaluating, or responding to the change around us but rather being change-agents and

facilitating change    in every aspect of our culture as we, the Oak Initiative, become infused into the areas of social, cultural, and political impact wherever we find  ourselves. As individuals, being responsive where we work and live, as a group, conveying a message of true hope and sound change based on  wisdom, communicated with grace and patience – with a long term goal in mind – the preparation of the Church to be all she is meant to be in a  world that is waiting for her unveiling.

    For us, it is not just about less taxes, correction in government spending, large or small government, liberal or conservative agendas,

 or correcting  the balance of power in our legislative branches at local, state, and federal levels. For us, it is about aiding and bringing a voice to a people who  have lost their moral compass and not simply bringing about change from an external source of policy shifts and spending initiatives, but being a   part of identifying and facilitating change from an internal perspective that lays a foundation for lasting reform and not simply reform until the next  election. 

    For us, it is about awaking our people to the voice of our Founding Fathers recorded in the Declaration of Independence, the

 Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. It’s about bringing wisdom, which we have gained from our personal relationship with the Lord and study of His word, into the market  place at every level of social, cultural, and political expression.

    Our goals will not have been accomplished when we simply provide solutions that impact today’s problems but will only be

  accomplished when we  have been a part of a spiritual awakening that lays a foundation for course correction in the future of America. 

    For us, it is not just a voting ballot or a single set of issues – it’s about being a part of an historical shift in a nation that is called to a

 destiny by God to disciple other nations. That calling will best be served by our individual and corporate repentance, soul searching and evaluation one on one with  the Lord –and then, having done so, getting to our feet with clear heads, clean hands, pure hearts, and feet prepared, shining a light of value and  virtue, speaking words of strength, and hope bringing about true and lasting change
