![DON’T ALLOW CLUTTER IN YOUR MIND.
What you ALLOW in your thoughts will shape your life. Mental clutter—fear, distractions, negative voices—steals your peace and clouds your purpose. No two things can exist in the same space. Choose thoughts of peace, success, and abundance. REFUSE to listen to negativity, doubters, and those who keep a scarcity mindset. YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT. [Philippians 4:8].
💬 Question: What thought do you need to release today? GET RID OF THE CLUTTER!

![🔥 GOD GIVES DIRECTION… BUT NOT DETAILS! 🔥
Ever been in a season where God said “GO”…but didn’t say how? 👀 You got the vision… but not the instructions. The direction is your assignment. The details are God’s.
That’s because faith grows in the unknown. If God gave you every detail —you wouldn’t need to trust Him.[2 Corinthians 5:7].
Abraham had no GPS — just a word from God. (Genesis 12:1)
Moses had no escape plan — just a staff and faith. (Exodus 14:21)
Mary had no blueprint — just “Be it unto me according to Your Word.” (Luke 1:38)
Sometimes God hides the details…because He wants you to depend on Him, not the plan.
🔁 Share this to remind someone: the delay isn’t denial — God’s just working out the details.

![YOU CAN ONLY GATHER WHAT YOU RELATE TO.
Think about it… If you keep attracting the same kind of people, the same kind of drama, or the same kind of results — it’s not coincidence. It’s connection.[Proverbs 13:20].
You attract what feels familiar. You gather what you relate to. If you want a new outcome, you’ve got to change what you relate to. Because when your relationships shift, your results follow.

Winston-Salem, NC – September 19, 2025 – The New Hope Resource Center of Winston-Salem (NHRC) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Goodwill Industries to expand workforce development opportunities through 12-week certification programs in skilled trades.
This groundbreaking collaboration will provide Hope Achievers—participants enrolled through Fresh Hope Workforce Development Initiative—with industry-recognized credentials, career coaching, and job placement support designed to strengthen economic mobility and open doors to long-term success.
Goodwill Industries will schedule skilled trades classes in coordination with NHRC, with each class enrolling eight participants. The programs will include scholarships for 40 participants in the 2025–2026 program year, with a dramatic expansion to 300 participants in 2026–2027. Scholarships will cover tuition, training materials, and certification costs, ensuring equitable access to opportunity.
All Hope Achievers are required to have a GED or high school equivalency diploma prior to entering the program. NHRC will provide preparatory support for individuals seeking to obtain their GED before enrollment.
Kaisha McDermott-Carter, Forsyth County District Director, emphasized the impact of the partnership: "This partnership demonstrates the power of collaboration in addressing workforce gaps. By expanding access to skilled trade certifications and removing financial barriers, we are opening doors of opportunity for individuals and families across Forsyth County."
Bishop John C. Parks, President of New Hope Resource Center of Winston-Salem, added: "At New Hope Resource Center, we believe in equipping Hope Achievers with the tools they need to thrive.

Winston Salem, NC – September 18, 2025. The New Hope Resource Center of Winston Salem, Inc. is honored to announce the endorsement and partnership of Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O’Neill in support of the Fresh Hope Workforce Development Initiative.
As part of this collaboration, the District Attorney’s Office will refer participants with non-violent offenses who are ready for a second chance into the Fresh Start program. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to providing alternatives to incarceration and ensuring that individuals receive the necessary resources, training, and mentorship to rebuild their lives and re-enter the community with stability and purpose.
“The Fresh Hope Workforce Development Initiative is exactly the type of proactive, community-driven program that reduces recidivism and strengthens families,” said District Attorney Jim O’Neill. “By giving non-violent offenders a second chance through job training and support, we are not only changing individual lives but also making Winston Salem a safer and stronger community.”
The Fresh Hope Workforce Development Initiative is designed to provide participants—many of whom face barriers such as prior justice involvement, unemployment, or housing insecurity—with practical workforce training, life skills development, and wraparound support services. The program’s holistic approach ensures participants not only secure employment but also gain the stability necessary to thrive outside the justice system.
“We are grateful for District Attorney O’Neill’s endorsement and partnership,” said Bishop John C. Parks, Founder & President of New Hope Resource Center of Winston Salem. “When the justice system and community-based organizations work together, we provide real pathways to redemption.](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/549823734_18528184057051834_6445668685405948692_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=109&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=ZgIImfGtHdIQ7kNvwFeicXh&_nc_oc=AdnZOzuJRLKE8JJEyYF4tb_BcLbfshSGb6ysBPfwuh4tJcTIybJIk9tIHBuGL2zBdA0&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=Pip_cVJfUzNBNQfPA-j1CA&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQGcZhINvEEFdex0fpVyIaFY3KONEWdVwDT6ZZt70q7d0bduvCjJwYfw7crA66dKqkPSqf4HGhTq&oh=00_AfzJmehHbJEN6oELr1964zZE8XjGR_5-auF5JItnGxwU9g&oe=69B9922E)

Young Adults, ages 18 to 24, often called “Millenials’ have a unique challenge. They are too old to create a community with the youth and too young to build a community with the adults.
In addition, church ministries and programs are not designed with this age group in mind. Young adults are criticized for wanting community, style, and social venues and opt not to attend church.
