Welcome to the Floodgates Foundation web site!


The Floodgates of Heaven Foundation (Floodgates Foundation, or just Floodgates) is an NGO that provides help to urban-poor based communities.  It seeks to fulfill the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ by doing two things: (1) Become a provider to breakthrough Christian pastors, missionaries, churches and ministries, and (2) Raise up other providers for God. 

We practice the Biblical principles of sowing and reaping.  Our main Scriptural guide is 2 Corinthians 9:6-15. 
 
Since year 2005, we have a special concern for M2M.

Our Description
 
The Foundation assists a network of enterprises and NGOs that are motivated by such principles as “The gospel is preached to the poor” and “He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord”. The attitude of these organizations towards the poor is to love them, inculcate progressive, entrepreneurial values, and let the practice of economic independence ideas, concepts and principles emancipate the poor from their original state to economic viability
 
The enterprises in the network show their concern for the poor by providing financial and technical support to the leaders of these urban poor communities, entrepreneurship training to members, scholarships to deserving poor students, and other helps. The network envisions the setting up of urban poor-based pre-school, elementary and high school education.  It encourages the formation of cooperatives and the running of small businesses and bazaars. It practices the proverb “If you give a fish to a hungry man, you helped him for one day; if you teach him how to fish, you helped him for the rest of his life.”

 

Many of our target beneficiaries have been emancipated from poverty and now have their own house and lot, stable employment, own businesses, yet they continue the process of reaching out to the poor communities where they originally came from in order to help the other poor get out of their dire situation. Many of them extend assistance in the form of capital for business, employment, and networking to have the members employed in various offices.  Because of these, many of the members are transformed in their mindset from poverty mentality to a “can do” attitude.

 

The network effectively uses idealistic but practical principles to improve the lives of the urban poor people.  These include:

 

1.      Genuine care for others

“Love your neighbor as yourself” (Mt. 22:39)

 

2.      Action not words

“I will show you my faith by what I do” (Ja. 2:18)

 

3.      Application of knowledge

“With me (wisdom) are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity” (Pr. 8:18)

 

4.      Work ethics

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart” (Col. 3:23)

 

5.      Empowerment

“You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none; your will rule over many nations but none will rule over you” (De. 15:6)

 

6.      Savings Habit

“Gather the pieces that are left over.  Let nothing be wasted.” (Jn 6:12)

 

7.      Entrepreneurship

“Do business with this until I come.” (Lu 19:13, NASB)

 

Our network uses the Rex' ABCD Development Model, Financial Success Model, 7-fold total human development model and Apostle Paul's “Tent Making Approach” so that our leaders earn their own income (they are not a burden to the poor) to pursue their mission. (Go to Messages to see the models)

 

Vision

 

We envision the fulfillment of the great commission of the Lord Jesus Christ within this generation by true, militant Christian missionaries who are amply provided for by prosperous Christian givers. 

 

We envision the outstanding performance of Christian businessmen and professionals through their faithful application of Biblical financial freedom principles and exercise of their duty as providers.

 

Mission

 

We aim to support Christian workers who will untiringly and aggressively go; make disciples of all nations; baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and teach them to obey all the commandments of Christ. 

 

We aim to raise up the “army of the providers” who will faithfully practice the principles of financial freedom.

 

We believe in God's "sowing and reaping principle." 
 

Objectives

  1.  To become a provider

  2.  To raise up other providers for God
