IR & GO Ministries Work to Remove Language Barriers in Costa Mesa

November 13, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

Share Your English

Innovative Results realizes that part of improving the quality of life for our community means we have to spend some time, money, and energy.

The way the IR team and clients can participate in this purpose is to come to Innovative Results every Saturday morning for a charity training session at 10am. 100% of the ten dollar suggested donation is given to programs of our partners at The Crossing Church’s Local GO Ministry.

Sharing Your English is just one of the many community improvement programs and opportunities developed at Local GO Ministries.

Did you know that English as a Second Language classes are in extremely high demand?

There are many people in our community eager to learn and improve their English, so they can experience an improved quality of life just like the Innovative Results’ client.

This provides an amazing ministry opportunity: Share your English!

Both easy and fun, providing a teacher to lead the class, The Crossing’s Local GO Ministry members work one on one with a student to help them practice their English.
We invite you to serve your community and make new friends.

In addition to the ESL class, Local GO Ministries offer story-time and homework assistance for school-age children in other classrooms.

Volunteers are available to read stories out loud, perform educational activities, and offer limited homework assistance.

This takes place in a fun, but purposeful environment for children in Grades K – 6th to work on their reading and literacy skills for the Costa Mesa community schools.

If you are interested in volunteering to help in the Reading Room, contact Marsha Dopler.

Looking forward to seeing you at the next Innovative Results charity training session every Saturday at 10am.

IR's Charity Training Session Helps to Fund Resource Programs for Teen Moms

November 6, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

IR Charity Training Sessions Serves…

Meet Terrilee Stevenson, the Executive Assistant supporting the Lead Pastor and Executive team at The Crossing.

The Community Organization highlighted this week is…

Fristers (Teen Pregnancy Ministry) is a nonprofit founded and operated on Christian principles that is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and abuse within the teen mom population by providing education, access to resources, role models and support to teen age mothers and their children. To accomplish our mission, Fristers offers the LifeCoach weekly program for teen moms, pregnant or parenting, within the ages of 13-24, and the Kidsters Childcare and School Readiness program for their children, ages 0-7.

LifeCoach addresses the unique needs of teen mothers and provides them with education, access to resources, role models and support. Participants attend a 32 week program that includes classroom teaching, relationship-building activities, one-to-one coaching, and group projects and field trips.The Kidsters Childcare and School Readiness Program is designed to nurture and teach the children, while giving teen mothers a safe childcare option so that they can fully devote themselves to learning and growing during the LifeCoach program.

Their Biggest Success Story so far…

Well, Fristers will just be coming to The Crossing for the first time in September 2014, so right now we are in the process of recruiting volunteers for the program and teen moms to attend. Biggest success would have to be that we have had 3 pregnant teen moms come into the office to sign up for the program starting in September.

Why be involved?

I feel called to Fristers, in part, because I feel like I have been given much: grew up in a healthy, Christian family with good role models in my parents, an amazing husband and 3 incredible kids. I have a heart to help these girls to move past their circumstances and succeed in life, to be more than what most people expect of them, to help them see that they matter and that God loves them more than they know.

Support Fristers, and many other GO Ministries & Community Programs by attending IR’s Charity Training Session every Saturday at 10am!

With a suggested $10 donation to attend, this is by far the most mutually beneficial hour of your week!!

This is How You Get the Best Fitness Training Session in Orange County and Help Eradicate Human Trafficking

October 30, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

Innovative Results asked Denise from The Crossing’s Local GO Ministries, who she is, what she does, and why she does it, and this is what she said:

“Who? Denise Dew-Bennett: Member at the Crossing since 2007. Lay leader, chaplain, women’s bible leader and ministry leader of Divine Lights at The Crossing Human Trafficking Team.
What: Divine Lights is about bringing awareness to our community on the condition of slavery in the 21st century. How the church is becoming increasingly active in the movement and how we as a church body can be that LIGHT at the end of a victim’s long dark journey in any way possible.

How: To date Divine Lights is a very new ministry but we are now a part of a new larger community known as the Christian Coalition Against Human Trafficking (CCAHT). Divine Lights biggest accomplishment has been to partner with established church ministries and other community organizations that are fighting on the front lines of this intense war to save women, men & especially children from the grips of modern day traffickers.
Why: Because God called me to. At first I thought that this was a singular call, but when I started this ministry, it occurred to me that God had been tapping on the shoulders of many others as well! None of us, individually, could figure out what we were to do as we all thought God wanted us to do something all on our own, but we felt extremely powerless. What I found when I started the group was that God wanted us to join our calls and group together to do the work that He had layed before us. I can tell you, not one of us WANTED to accept this call! But we all could not stop hearing or seeing the abuses going on around us, that is what caused us/me to go on no matter what I/ we saw as daunting!

We are more than PASSIONATE now, we’re ON FIRE with determination to see this to it’s ABOLISHMENT!”

Innovative Results is amazed at what is being done to transform our community and the lives of the people being trafficked in Orange County. Come to Innovative Results’ charity fitness training sessions on Saturday at 10am and bring a suggested donation of $10 to help eradicate Human Trafficking in Orange County.

Your Presence and Donation Matters at Innovative Results 10am Charity Training Session

October 23, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

Innovative Results asked Jeff Costa, a long time client and member of Local GO ministries at The Crossing Church in Costa Mesa, what he does to help the community, and this is what he said:

“My name is Jeff Costa, and I lead The Crossing’s Street Team ministry.

Street Team is a group of people that meet to help the people on the street that are invisible and needy. While we go out to serve and help the city’s people, we pray for the streets, businesses, and civil services.

The biggest success story is the fact I am on a team that has helped 19 people get off the streets!!

The reason why I do this is because now I know these are people just like you and me. They just might be going through a really tough time, and need some love and a chance.

I believe that God puts certain people in your life.

For some reason He chose me for this, and I’m all in!”

Innovative Results is proud to be a part of helping Jeff Costa get people off the street through our donations and awareness created through our Saturday charity training session every Saturday at 10am. Bring a suggested $10 donation, experience the best personal training in Orange County, and help GO Ministries improve the quality of life of the homeless…even getting people off of the street!

Innovative Results Partners with Costa Mesa GO Ministries to Give Care Packages for the Troops

October 16, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

By: Aaron Guyett

I asked Lisa Arellano of The Crossing Church in Costa Mesa to share what she does for Local GO Ministries to help the Newport Mesa community, and this is what she said:

“I am Lisa Arellano, and I am a Veteran of the United States Army. I am a volunteer and member of The Crossing Church of Costa Mesa, and I have been aching for ministries that are local that I can relate to. As a Veteran coming home from deployment was devastating. The morale is very down when you’re separated from home and loved ones. I’m single with no family of my own, so I didn’t get the care packages and goodies I saw others getting. Packages For Troops or (OI) Operation Interdependence offers a small quart size package to any soldier in the military, as a little piece of home. The most important part of the package is the encouraging note that it comes with.”

“I do this because, my heart goes out to those at war, so that they will know that I care!”

Innovative Results partners with GO Ministries to give back to our local community in Costa Mesa and Orange County through fitness and training.

Come to Innovative Results, 2925 Airway Ave, Suite J, Costa Mesa, CA 92626, every Saturday at 10am, and donate $10 to the community, while experiencing the best fitness training in Orange County.

The Most Mutually Beneficial Hour In Your Week

October 2, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

Innovative Results cares about the Costa Mesa and greater Newport Mesa community, and they consistently back up those words by giving generously with their actions, service, money, and time. For over two years, Innovative Results serves the community by opening up its doors to anyone looking to get in shape, feel better, move better, or look better on Saturday morning at 10am. They ask for a very small, suggested donation of $10 per person, and deliver their always dynamic and very valuable training sessions. After the dust settles they donate 100% of the proceeds to GO Ministries at The Crossing Church, where there are incredible things being done for the local Costa Mesa and Newport Mesa community.

GO Ministries at The Crossing Church helps the Costa Mesa and Newport Mesa community in eight incredible ways. First they are building a bridge across the different cultures of Costa Mesa. Second they are partnering with schools to improve children’s education and development. Third they are partnered with other churches and city officials to improve the quality of life of our homeless and helping them into situations that get them into homes and better situations. Fourth, they partner with other churches and organizations to feed the hungry of Costa Mesa and Newport Mesa. Fifth, they partner with other people and churches to set up care packages for the troops overseas. Sixth, they have a Street Team that goes out to offer a helping hand and a loving heart to the homeless and distraught. Seventh, they partner with other people, churches, organizations, and the local cities to reduce and eradicate trafficking of humans. Finally, they partner with other churches, people, and organizations to help improve the lives of teen mothers.

When someone shows up on Saturday and donates $10, their money is really improving the quality of life for the Costa Mesa and Newport Mesa community, while they get to improve their own quality of life through an Innovative Results training session. These training sessions provide practical advice and take action toward improving mobility, increasing stability, improving endurance, improving strength, and increasing power, which helps all participants look better, feel better, and move better. Innovative Results also helps coach and consult people’s nutrition choices to help people feel, look, and move their best. Not to mention the ancillary effects these training session provide (improved finances, better budgeting, increased productivity, and improved attitude are all researched effects from daily exercise).

If you are looking for the most valuable way to spend an hour on Saturday, come to Innovative Results, and for just $10 you can experience personal improvement, while improving the Costa Mesa and Newport Mesa community.

IR and GO Partner to help Improve Costa Mesa Schools

September 23, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

Innovative Results loves partnering with The Crossing Church’s GO Ministries for the charity training session on Saturdays at 10am, because we get to improve the quality of life for our clients and our community directly at the same time! Not only does everyone in Costa Mesa get the opportunity to improve their quality of life through an incredible training hour with the best trainers and coaches in the industry, but the $10 suggested donation goes to impact Costa Mesa in awesome ways, too! Below is one of the many reasons IR partners with GO for our community.

LITERACY: one hour a week to read with a group of 1st, 2nd or 3rd graders.

FACILITIES: help provide a better learning environment at under-resourced schools.

STAFF: help support and encourage teachers and administrators.

PARENTS: help encourage, educate and support parents with various classes and events.

The Crossing is partnering with a local elementary school that has the most challenges in terms of literacy, to help change this negative trend.

If you would like to take the next step and learn how you can get involved in this important local outreach program, please contact Jorge Moscoso today.

Innovative Results is looking forward to seeing you, your family, friends, and coworkers at the next charity training session, Saturdays at 10am.

IR Charity Training Session Contributes to The Crossing's Hispanic Services

September 3, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

This is What Your $10 Donation Goes to on Saturday at 10am: Hispanic Services

In speaking with the two The Crossing Español pastors, I experienced two people with a heart for Costa Mesa. According to suburbanstats.org, Hispanic/Latino makes up 35% of the Costa Mesa population, and the way they see it if we are not about helping one third of our community we should not be called a church. The Crossing Church with Go Ministries is about creating a bridge between the different cultures within our great community of Costa Mesa.

Innovative Results agrees wholeheartedly. Innovative Results is about serving our community. Co-owners, Aaron Guyett and Corey Beasley believe in improving the quality of life for their clients and their community, so it just made sense to partner with the Hispanic Bridge that is happening at The Crossing Church and Go Ministries. Below is what the Crossing is announcing about its weekend services.

The Crossing Church is proud to announce the creation of a new venture, The Crossing en Español, as we expand to offer services in Spanish. We believe so much in reaching the un-churched that we remove as many obstacles as possible so that people can hear the message of Jesus. Over the years, the population in Costa Mesa has changed, but the mission and the vision of The Crossing remains the same — we are a church for ALL PEOPLE. We have the opportunity to reach other nations right here in our country and in our city. What a privilege we have. Contact Jorge Moscoso to s ign up now and be part of the Core Team as we prepare to launch in October. Join us on the ground floor of this exciting new venture.

UPCOMING SERVICES: As we lead up to our official launch date we are proud to present a select few services along the way. Please join us and be part of this exciting new venture.

Come join Innovative Results on Saturday morning as they continue to reach out to their community through these Charity Training Sessions on Saturday at 10am for a suggested donation of $10.

This is a ministry for those experiencing homelessness in our community, providing them with a safe place to “check-in” their belongings, allowing them to travel, attend interviews or appointments, prevent theft or damage to personal belongings and ease health issues from transporting belongings.

Participants have access to their “check-in center” during the following times:
Monday through Friday from 6:00am – 7:30am and 6:30pm – 8:00pm

Share Your English

Did you know that ESL (English as a Second Language) classes are in extremely high demand? People in our community are eager to learn and/or improve their English. This provides an amazing ministry opportunity for you: Share your English! It’s easy and fun. We provide a teacher to lead the class, and as a tutor, you work one on one with a student to help them practice their English. Students in the class are Intermediate and Advanced levels.
We invite you to serve your community and make new friends.
Classes will start on Wednesday, September 10th and will run through November 29th.

In addition to the ESL class, we will be offering storytime/homework assistance for school-age children in another classroom. Volunteers will be available to read stories out loud, perform educational activities, and offer limited homework assistance. This will take place in a fun, but purposeful environment for children in Grades K – 6th to work on their reading and literacy skills.

If you are interested in volunteering to help in the Reading Room, contact Marsha Dopler. This class will be held at the same time as the Share Your English Class.

Street Team

“The Street Team” works to equip as many people as possible to P.R.A.I. as they walk through life by engaging them in 4 weeks of training and experience walking the streets.
Week 1 – Pray
Week 2 – Relate
Week 3 – Assist
Week 4 – Invite

You can jump in during any week and experience “The Street Team.” Each session runs from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Wednesday nights departing from The Crossing, The Street Team is off during the month of August and will start again in the month of September.
The hope is that after spending 4 weeks not only learning about how to P.R.A.I. but actually doing it, people will develop some habits that will carry over into how they “walk” through their everyday life.

We will have different guests join us to train and enlighten us to what’s really going on out there on the streets of our community.
Contact Jeff Costa today to register.
i. Human Trafficking
ii. Teen Pregnancy
iii. Empowering Communities

We have partnered with Go Ministries at The Crossing for over two years now, raising tens of thousands of dollars, by donating hundreds of free training sessions doing what we love to do—improve the quality of life for our clients and our community.
