"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life." (NIV)
—PSALM 143:38
Awesome Mission Statement
Love God, family, others!
Mission In Motion
The AWESOME mission in motion can best be described as ministry through projects.
Inspired by the Psalm below, we wanted our ministries to encompass both a reaching out and inviting in nature. As such our outward, or 'going out,' ministries will engage others out in the community through positive youth development programs and projects. Our inward, or 'coming in,' ministries will involve families and others in the community engaging with us in activities, events, and projects at Cana—the future home of AWESOME Outreach Ministries.
Psalm 121:8
“The Lord will preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth,
and even for evermore.”
Us
We are a Christ-centered team with a heartfelt desire to share our gifts and life experiences with families and individuals seeking a sense of belonging, encouragement, fellowship, respite, renewal, and a deeper spiritual connection.
We believe that the Lord has led us to create programs for engagement, and a destination place that provides an environment where His love, grace, and the beauty of His creation can be embraced by all who seek a meaningful journey in their walk with Him.
The 'we' starts with the founder's family of four, John and Crystal Bollinger, with their two daughters Sara and Ruby — each bringing their own experience, talents, and giftings. Additionally, a dedicated team of advisors and helpers have come alongside us as we move the AWESOME idea from a calling, to a startup, to viability.
John brings a rich background in entrepreneurship, business, networking and sales, church leadership as an an ordained ruling elder, youth sports coach, short term missions, and non-profit fundraising support and event coordination. Crystal brings a background of management experience in the tech and design space, electronic game and unplugged game companies, a stint as a Chief Operating Officer of a company (as well as in our home), and a Magazine Owner and Publisher. She has done design support work for many churches, ministries, and authors. She helped start, and continues to provide design support, for the Transformed Living ministry.
Daughter Sara, our paraeducator, brings her enthusiasm, patience, and illustration skills to our Children's ministry projects while Ruby, our budding entrepreneur, brings her business studies background and social media acumen to help launch AWESOME Outreach Ministies and strategize for its growth.
Current Projects
Awesome Outreach Ministries is currently in the beginning phases of two projects — we invite you to "Come and see."
Cana
A place to celebrate the goodness of God.
"Cana" is 40 sprawling acres of breathtaking views being transformed into a place where visitors can experience the goodness of God during their time at the property. The fields will be adorned with the hues of various crops that await havest and gentle gardens that provide a peaceful sanctuary where visitors can find pause, respite and renewal. We see Cana hosting boutique sized weddings, reteats, worship gatherings, single day or multi day workshops and projects where fellowship and community has a place to thrive.
The Putting Project™
Our first AWESOME community outreach project.
The Putting Project™ will be our first AWESOME community outreach project. We expect to launch the pilot program in the fall of 2025.
The project revolves around a positive youth development program developed in a collaborative endeavor between our non-profit organization, AdPrompt Media—a for-profit business—and various community stakeholders.
