Compelling need to start Working Church for Jehovih

I have made mistakes in my life, but in 2001 my life changed.
I've assisted people in the legal field for about 17 years, and studied non-profits because I wanted to help people. The problem was, this was done serving a 20 year sentence for a mistake I made back in 1991. It was the greatest and most costly mistake in my life! I had to sit inside prison walls while my dad passed away without being able to say good-bye or go to his funeral. I lost friends, relatives, and family because of my mistakes. The only benefit was before my dad passed I managed to obtain an AA in Business with a Honors, the first in my family to complete college. No need to say I was angry because of all this.
In 2001, however, an ex-Christian minister, for some tax problem that shared the prison with me, gave me a book called the Oahspe bible. The story behind it is special, but the book I started reading and as I started practicing what it said, like giving up animal products like meat, I was to find I could feel my Creator's presence. Of course, I did it for Him, not myself, because I was at my ends. After about three months, while praying, my Creator, Jehovih, the I AM, came upon me as nothing I have ever experienced in my life, before that in any religion I practiced. I sat in awe at the bliss that filled me and sourrounded me, as if inside a cacoon of pure love and protection, and that day changed my life forever.
I am not wealthy, but try to always help people, whether in prison or out here. To give someone a hundred dollars to me is proper, even if I could use it myself. I had sought to open a non-profit called Prisoners-Educational-Advancement-for the-Community's-Enrichment (P-E-A-C-E), but as I grew in purifying myself and learning to feel my Creator's impressions upon me, this idea was to take a turn to. Instead, I was instructed to create a working church that would be to help millions, not mere thousands.
In prison inmates earn their means by creating, from washing clothes, to doing legal work. I was no different. It is the only means to survive in that environment. However, I could never get myself to charge a great fortune toward others because my intent was to help, not try to get wealthy at someone's expense. I charged about $100 a person, that allowed me to buy my food since I could not eat inside the chow hall because of my goal to purify myself. I ate peanut butter, flour tortillas (not animal fat style), fruit, oatmeal, mixed nuts and jelly, every day since 2003 when I started this diet, not eating after 12:00 noon, and fasting twice a week, minimum.
In 2008, Febraury, my date finally came for release after 17 1/2 years, and the stress of social change--while, I cannot even try to tell you how it was. I was entering a new world, talking cars, hand phones, internet, things that did not exist when I was cast inside prison. Oh, my crime, I sold drugs. I have not touched a drug since 1991, and currently I do not even take a prescription drug of any kind. My body is pure, as is my soul and spirit. My faith is in Jehovih and I know, I KNOW, He is always with me because I feel Him daily. He allows me to know His presence because of what has been given up. Oh, don't take this wrong, because I also fall and He allows me to know that with great love and guides me back in my path to purification, but He is still there always with me. Every person can do the same thing if they will give up the world.
When I came out of prison I relocated from Montana to California. Why? Because my little brother was there and I did not wish to go where I knew people that might cause me to fall. However, the economy when I got release was poor and after 17 1/2 years the Federal Bureau of Prisons generously gave me 1) a bus ticket, 2) my wage of $.12 a hour for the month, about $35.00, and 3) about $50.00 in cash, and a change of clothes of one pair blue jeans, a pull-over shirt, socks, and my tennis shoes. This was my new life and what I had to start it.
In San Franciso I was in a halfway house for about 6 months, and had no car, nor did I know the town. My brother lived in Sacramento. I finally got a job at Goodwill through a training program. It was good because it taught be about how non-profits work in receiving donations of clothes and things. They were very wonderful people, with wonderful hearts.
In August, 2008 I was released from halfway house to move to Sacramento, CA where my brother lived, but that economy was worse then San Francisco, and I have struggled to sustain myself. I have various skills, from auto mechanic to carpenter, heavy equipment mechanic to grounds maintenance, to legal work. The mechanic is from the 1990's and I'd have to update my skills by going to school for computer training. Most companies in construction are laying off because of the economy, and most apartment complexes have people there. Although I have over 17 years doing legal work, with a fair success rate of winning cases, I lack knowledge of the computer skills like e-filings, although I can learn fast. As result, I could not find a job, no one wanted a 52 year old person that's got a record and been out of society for so many years. I set up a little business trying to do legal assistance on a shoe string.
It has allowed me to pay my bills, by Jehovih's blessings, and I know it will come around, but like any business people need to get to know my work. I have a couple lawyers that give me work on occassions, and some citizens that cannot afford high legal cost that I assist with a friendship, but I have not obtained the means to care for myself yet, besides my duty to help others.
The situation behind all this, however, is while I was in prison my Creator gave me insight to open a 501(c)(3) non-profit and church, called the Working Church for Jehovih. I was specially instructed not to mislead people because of the name Jehovih, thus I try to always be upfront. I know this will work very much. I am compelled to set it up. One skill I learned while in prison was grant writing, which allowed me to obtain my college courses, but for a 501 companies require it be established and I do not have those funds. Once started, I know well I can generate the funds and tools. All that is needed is to get it filed in the state and IRS, where I can truly help people. Why, because that is what my Creator wants me, and all of us, to do. Help each other!
It is not a 501(c)(3) at this time. I do have a ministry diploma, and know how to help people (because of Jehovih) grow in spirit if they will seek it, and I know how to instruct because I taught classes in prison to help other inmates in fields like legal research or other matters like Movie script writing, which is my hobby (none made yet, but writing one called Tae currently, about the Father and a man he raises up, and Jehovih will let it work, I know). The working church is my baby, one would say, and once I can get it set up I know it will work.
Currently I have about $300 that has been donated or I put in toward the church's formation as a 501(c)(3), and even if I have no food on my plate, or money for rent, I do not touch that because it is for Jehovih to build Him a working church. When I obtain what is needed to file for the state, as well as the IRS, about $400 more on top of the $300, I will set it up and then I will start the church because I know it will become functionable at that time. The money has been in savingd for about 6 months for half, three years for the other half, as I strive to obtain the rest.
I know the church will become a great benefit to help many people. It was shown to me through dreams and impressions. I'm to be patient, because I'm told people will start giving for the Creator and this cause. This is my life, that is to serve my king, Jehovih and do for others. My compelling in my soul, and I set forth a plea in Jehovih's name to all who will listen. Please help build the Working Church for Jehovih to help our brothers and sisters. Not for me, but for our Creator, for those it will help, I ask this. The pledge I have made in this blog I will hold to, but help is needed to build this organization. The more given for setting up the 501, the more it will help with paper, copy ink, corporate kit, and things needed to mail and make requests for futher grants. Even the $400 for now would allow the organization to be filed, which I cannot afford myself at this time.
Please help do something good and help in this wonderful goal for our Creator. The light that grows in me tells me it will be a great church, unlike any today, and you could be a part of that. PLEASE give for this cause? Help build a Working Church to Jehovih? I share this story because of my faith in Jehovih, because people have shown they lack trust for anyone today, little lone someone like me. Jehovih says, and I know it is true, all his children have good hearts so I ask you to search your heart for this cause. Send anything you could give to: Educational-Outreach-Integrated-helpers; c/o: Working Church for Jehovih, Gustav Skurdal, Pres., at: 837 1/2 West G Road, Huntley, Montana 59037. Please give today?
Also look at the sites at: http://workingchurch4EOIh.blogspot.com/ and www.myspace.com/churchofjehovih_gus_com. I'm sure they will interest you. May Jehovih bless all who gives for this worthy cause with greater charity when they give, and light and spirit. Like unto like! Enjoy!
