​

The following is a yet to be fully realized vision of the Paraclete Association, but under development and implementation

A vision and mission to recruit and network volunteers to meet the needs of their local communities with
care and charity through paracleting.

Our mission-  To build a culture of care in communities through altruistic volunteerism.

One of our approaches-  To place seniors and seasoned leaders in a position to "paraclete" younger generations in altruistic living and service.

One of our desired outcomes-  To build a positive, productive, caring, charitable, cohesive, and fulfilling culture in the communities we serve.

Our mission is to build a culture of care in communities through paracleted volunteerism.
Paracleting = being called to the close side or aid of another.

The Paraclete Association believes in a process of spiritual life coaching that we do not only coach, advocate, consult, mediate, empower, upbuild, entreat, and console ones' spirit being but we aim to build a dynamic "paracleted triad" that places 2 or more "paracletes" in that persons life and in doing so we focus on developing the traits necessary within that triad for their ability productively relate in love, to transcend their issues, spiritually form or transform with rootedness, and remain overcomers of their issues.  Whether we paraclete or echoventure or combinations of both we seek to create an environment and atmosphere conducive of authentic change in the sentimentality and culture of the heart.  We believe that in the fullness of collective Christian ministry, culture, and experience that restorative revival can be empassioned.

Another way we paraclete is to actively seek out the greater needs of our communities and form innovative ways to benefit its members.
Yet another way we paraclete is to service needs that alleviate poverty and life coach the despairing into an optimistic future.
These are but a few of the envisioned missions of the Paraclete Association.

We will paraclete via charity though servicing and supplying non-monetary needs.  Other charities supply funds to help those in desperate need.  
The Paraclete Association deviates from this and supplies goods and services that free up other resources to be utilized in other ways.
We are not partial to the desperate poor either, but function to support the community as a whole including the wealthy needy.

 We also give opportunity for our membership to supply goods and services that alleviate the poverty of others.  In due time we envision being able to facilitate the expressions of need of our members and facilitating those that wish to meet that need in an altruistic way. We base our model in part on the ideals presented in the healthcare sharing services, but rather than sharing healthcare costs,
we endeavor to build a community that helps support the costs of everyday living and improving the quality of life and well being for all.
​
We carry a vision that values upbuilding, entreating, and consoling people.
Our strategy is to "call upon" or recruit and facilitate a membership of volunteers to meet a wide variety of needs in their communities.  
We then entreat and empower our membership to rise to the call to show leadership to meet the need.  We are seeking to give opportunity for those that have been blessed to pay it forward in reciprocity and charity to others when they are able either in
finances, volunteering, services, or goods. 
We are also looking into modes by which we can sponsor a wide variety of services to a variety of youth.  Sponsorships can be directed to those undergoing drug treatment, those with debilitating illnesses, those lacking parental care, to those widowed by war or other unfortunate circumstances, and a host of other needs.

One of our main outcomes is for seniors and seasoned leaders to "paraclete" and life coach young adults and teenagers
​while engaging in altruistic volunteer opportunities. We are presently engaging with a variety of leaders, professors, and other studied individuals to create an engaging and highly interactive foundation and architecture to supply "paracletes" with that serves as a guide to disciple and coach others with.

Description

"But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me. And you shall give testimony..." John 15:26 Douay-Rheims Bible 1582

Paraclete is an old term used in early English of the Holy Spirit and His special role to the Body and Bride of Christ.

PAR'ACLETE, n. [Gr. to call.] Properly, an advocate; one called to aid or support; hence, the consoler, comforter or intercessor,a term applied to the Holy Spirit.
-Websters 1828 Dictionary

So the Holy Spirit and those of us called to testify along with Him are paracletes and we are being called upon by the Paraclete to come along side others in their aid to upbuild, entreat, console, comfort, consult, advocate, and help.

The “Paraclete” is the Holy Spirit in His role as "the One called to our side-aid" to empower and upbuild us all as ministers of His reconciliation and paracletes to one another.

“Americans feel a need to return to the out-of-doors for health, relaxation, and quietude. They feel strongly that their youth have a basic right to experience the heritage of the pioneer spirit.”
- Basic Camping Management

Altruism by definition means “a way of thinking or behaving that shows you care about other people and their interests more than you care about yourself.”

Morale (also known as esprit de corps) is the capacity of a group's members to maintain belief in an institution or goal, particularly in the face of opposition or hardship. Morale is often referenced by authority figures as a generic value judgment of the willpower, obedience, and self-discipline of a group tasked with performing duties assigned by a superior.  --wikipedia
