Arrows of the Almighty: Raising a Generation of Warriors

The Testimony Behind the Vision

I am the oldest of five children. I grew up without a father in my life, without strong male role models to guide me. The streets raised me, and like many young men, I wrestled with identity, purpose, and survival. For years I struggled to find who I was. I tried to fit into every box the culture offered — movements, ideologies, and identities that promised belonging but left me empty.

It wasn’t until my soul cried out in desperation — “Abba, if You are real, come into my heart and save me” — that my life changed. God revealed Himself as Father to me. He restored what was missing, but the scars of growing up without guidance stayed with me. I know firsthand the pain of growing up unprepared for life and the battle for identity.

This is why Arrows of the Almighty matters so much to me. I don’t want our children to have to wander as I did. I don’t want them to be discipled by the streets, by technology, or by broken culture. I want them to be discipled by truth.

The Biblical Mandate

The psalmist said: “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.” (Psalm 127:4–5)

Children are not meant to be left unshaped. Arrows do not sharpen themselves. They must be formed, guided, and aimed with precision. God designed parents and the Body of Christ to raise children as arrows — not just to survive, but to hit the mark of their calling.

The Problem

Many parents are stretched thin, juggling bills, jobs, and survival. They love their children, but they often don’t have the time, tools, or training to prepare them spiritually.
Churches too often run glorified daycare programs instead of true discipleship training for kids. They teach Bible stories but not identity, games but not dominion, activities but not authority.
Meanwhile, the enemy aggressively targets children through technology, entertainment, and culture.

As Frederick Douglass once said: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”

I know the truth of that statement because I was once a broken man.

The Vision

Arrows of the Almighty exists to raise strong children. We are building:

Training Camps & Campuses – dedicated land and spaces to form children in discipline, identity, and Kingdom purpose.
Charter Programs in Communities – a faith-based alternative to Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, raising warriors instead of wanderers.
Parent Partnership – equipping mothers and fathers to raise arrows, not just feed dependents.
Church Collaboration – partnering with congregations to shift youth ministry from entertainment to formation.

We already have five acres of land set aside for this vision. It is just the beginning.

The Plea

I was a child without a father. I was a young man without guidance. By God’s mercy, He saved me, restored me, and gave me purpose. But I believe He did it not just for me — He did it so that I could help prepare the next generation.

We cannot keep losing our children. We cannot keep watching them swallowed up by a world that has no love for them, no identity for them, no future for them.

The enemy is after the seed. We must fight for it.

This is why I am calling on parents, pastors, schools, and communities:

Parents, invest in your child’s destiny.
Churches, open your doors and invest in the future.
Educators, support programs that shape both mind and spirit.
Believers everywhere, recognize the war for the seed and join the fight.

Arrows of the Almighty is more than a program. It is a movement. It is a fight for the future. It is the answer to brokenness — because strong children raised in truth will one day become strong men and women who can repair broken systems.

The time is now.
