What A Day!!

What a day! Blessings are popping out like sweat on a bird dog passing a peach seed.
I praise God for His love and blessings today. So many doors opened for us minister.
We had been working a child support case. Now listen folks, Silent Ministries Recovery Outreach and Child Support Recovery is more than kick-doors-in-and issue-warrants agency. We may have to strap up and do a serve however we like to go the easy route if possible and today was a blessing.

Just as we had readied for a serve I made a phone call as a last ditch effort to reach this individual. The Lord blessed and we were able to talk him into a negotiation that worked for both parents. And we had the chance to pray for this individual. As a result we were offered another job due to the confidence this man placed in our behavior and professionalism. We were going to "serve" him and ended up making friends and praying for him.

Get this. As I was sitting on the road side speaking with this individual a couple pulled up noticing our door signs. This couple was asking for help. They were about to lose their child to the courts. All of this over faulty and incorrect information provided by the truant officer. The parents had correct documentation but it's like I've said before it is difficult to get courts and goody-two shoes to listen to people who do not appear to have money. Appearances are judged and this family were being judged by appearances and their lack.

They did not know their rights. While sitting in the vehicle I contacted Legal Aid, Children Services, and juvenile court, never letting this family leave until I had got them satisfaction. At last I got them a quick hearing with the county and in the process got them an attorney through Legal Aid. My phone rang four times late this evening from them with thanks and gratitude. Oh yes, I had prayer with them by the road and God worked changes in their lives before the sun went down.
That is what is all about! Yeh!!!

As a bonus through honesty and professionalism we picked up a domestic case through one of the families as well.

If you owe child support and are having a difficult time meeting the court ordered obligations and need negotiating call us. Our agency and ministry is such that we are capable of meeting with and negotiating with both sides.

I don't like the word side or non-custodial parent. I believe that if a father loves his child he still has custody in his heart of his child. Being late on payments or behind and accumulating arrearage of unmet payments does not "always" mean that a parent does not love his child. Tragedy, sickness, lay-offs, injury, hard times and bad luck happen to both parents of the child. Being behind on payments does not always mean the dad or mom is a dead beat. Granted many and a huge portion just do not want to pay but we are not going to throw out the baby with the bath water.

We will help you negotiate your payments taking all things into consideration.

Love you lots.
Jim SMRO
