A FRESH VISION FOR A LIVING MISSION
Since the launch of Surefooted Ministries in 2009, God has continued to develop and expand the vision. The purpose is not simply to maintain a website, produce materials, or provide information. The purpose is to equip believers, strengthen their walk with Christ, and move them into effective action through diligent training and strategic prayer.
The vision is still alive—and it is important that we keep it fresh.
ONE VISION — TWO EXPRESSIONS
Surefooted Ministries and Royal Prayer Guards work together as one unified vision.
Surefooted Ministries is the foundation.
Its focus is diligent and effective training—providing biblical teaching, spiritual resources, encouragement, instruction, and practical tools to help believers become stronger and more effective followers of Jesus Christ.
Royal Prayer Guards is the mission in prayer.
Its focus is strategic prayer—believers taking their place, using their delegated authority, and faithfully praying for people, situations, and needs according to God's Word.
Every person enlisted in the Royal Prayer Guards carries both visions because R.P.G. grows out of the training foundation of S.F.M.
KEEP CONNECTED — KEEP THE VISION FRESH
A vision remains fresh when we remain connected.
Stay connected with Pastor Vince Marino, Surefooted Ministries, Royal Prayer Guards, the website, and the available social media resources. Continued connection helps us remember who we are, what we have been called to do, and why we are doing it.
Do not allow familiarity to replace vision.
Do not allow time to weaken your commitment.
Do not allow distractions to cause you to lose sight of the bigger picture.
Stay connected. Stay equipped. Stay prayerful. Stay effective.
THE PURPOSE OF THE MINISTRY
We know that God alone provides the healing, answers, and provision that truly satisfy. Therefore, our goal is to continually point people toward Him.
Everything we provide should accomplish one or more of these purposes:
TRAIN — Equip believers with accurate biblical information.
STRENGTHEN — Help believers grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
ENCOURAGE — Give hope and direction to those who are struggling.
PRAY — Move believers toward strategic and effective prayer.
ACT — Help believers put what they have learned into practice.
HELP OTHERS — Channel what God has placed in us toward people who are hurting, searching, or in need.
EXPLORE THE RESOURCES
There is much more available than what may first appear.
Explore the teaching materials, spiritual resources, prayer focuses, encouragement, instructions, and other available links. Somewhere among these resources may be a message, teaching, prayer focus, or word of encouragement that provides exactly what someone needs at that moment.
The goal is not simply to collect information.
The goal is transformation.
The goal is to take what we receive from God's Word and allow it to produce effective action in our lives.
OUR COMMITMENT
We are committed to providing an uncompromising full-Gospel message, spiritual nourishment, biblical instruction, encouragement, and strategic prayer for everyone who connects with us.
Through Surefooted Ministries, we seek to help believers become trained, equipped, established, and effective.
Through Royal Prayer Guards, we seek to help believers become committed, strategic, faithful, and effective in prayer.
Together, these two expressions create a powerful pathway:
LEARN → GROW → PRAY → ACT → HELP OTHERS
THE VISION TODAY
The vision is not something we simply remember from the past.
The vision is something we live today.
As God continues to open doors and provide new opportunities, we want to remain faithful to the foundation while continuing to move forward.
Our desire is that every person who connects with Surefooted Ministries and Royal Prayer Guards will find:
Truth to believe.
Training to follow.
Prayer to engage in.
Direction to pursue.
Strength to continue.
And purpose to fulfill.
KEEP THE VISION FRESH.
Stay connected.
Stay in the Word.
Stay equipped.
Stay prayerful.
Stay available.
Stay effective.
And most importantly—
KEEP POINTING PEOPLE TO JESUS.
