(FranchisePick.Com) You can franchise fast food, home improvement, even medical centers, but Jesus? According to an interesting article on San Angelo Live written by publisher Joe Hyde, House of Faith is attempting just that. And not doing too bad a job of it:
The House of Faith is a non-denominational, evangelical Christian organization whose purpose is to reach out to at-risk children in the community and rescue them from a life of misery and crime by providing them with hope. The Christian faith provides the framework for establishing in children’s’ hearts that there is true meaning and purpose to life. Then, with a program of activities and classes, House of Faith volunteers establish deep-rooted relationships with the children and eventually, one-by-one, provide them with guidance on how to live fulfilling and productive lives, instead of a life of despair. They try to break the chain of self-destruction happening with these San Angelo youth.
Hyde heaps heavy praise on the House of Faith program and the vision that guides it.
For solving society’s ills, the quick answer is to ask our government to raise our taxes and solve them. But no government program comes close to the success in San Angelo of a former schoolteacher and a former juvenile probation officer who took it upon themselves to help at-risk children with a non-profit youth ministry. Their ministry is called The House of Faith, and the concept works so well, volunteers from other communities across west Texas are duplicating the program.
According to the article, House of Faith is expanding through a program similar to a franchise:
The House of Faith has a charter program where volunteers from other west Texas communities can start their own House of Faith. They provide on-site training, quality curriculum and teaching supplies for charter organizations. Already, there are 14 House of Faith charters in nine cities from Roaring Springs near the Panhandle to Junction. This is similar in design to a franchise. Reynolds and Beaver have created a non-profit business model and now they are helping others in outlying communities to do the same.
