Our Philosophy

A fraternity, as defined by the American Heritage College Dictionary, is “A body of people associated for a common purpose or interest, a group joined by similar backgrounds, occupations, interests, or tastes. The quality or condition of being brothers.” Terms like “fraternity” or “Christianity” have been twisted and have gained a negative reputation. We need to redeem the true meaning of what it means to live in fraternal brotherhood. I believe that a pact amongst brothers should be honored with a life long commitment otherwise do not call it a fraternity. Every fraternity has a Philosophy and a way of living or thinking.

Our philosophy came from Jesus Christ himself who demonstrated the effects a community can have in the world. Jesus chose 12 men who he appoints as his disciples. These men were living individual lives and were doing things on their own terms, but when they encountered Jesus in a community setting, they became very effective in changing their lives and the world. These men lived the true meaning of what it means to be in fraternal brotherhood with one another.

Our Vision

Our vision is to see men step up to their God given destiny as leaders and lead. The poverty rate is growing uncontrollably every day and many people are suffering through hunger, hopelessness and neglect because of selfish leaders. Drawing men into community with one another under the precept of accountability gives a robust meaning to becoming an Agent of impossible change.

Our Identity

Why is it that Jesus sees a sinner and is filled with compassion for him/her? As Agents of Impossible Change, we are called to view the world through the eyes of Christ. We are called to be passionate about what God is passionate about because we want his Kingdom to come now. If we are to be different from the world, then expect to be treated differently. We truly would like to be judged for our actions and not for how we appear towards people. A snake for example is known to be a satanic icon, but in the Bible Moses was ordered by God himself to build a snake on a staff to represent God and those who look upon the staff would not die.
This event took place when the Israelites sinned against God, so to punish them God sent poisoned snakes to bite them. This icon is now positively being used to represent the Medical Field.

Our identity is not based on how people perceive it, instead it is based on our attitude, work and fruit in which our work bares. The fruit which an organization yields speaks much about the character of that organization. We are known as Agents of Impossible Change because that is who we are. As Agents of Impossible Change we believe that the impossible can happen. In countries where there are no opportunities available, we can create opportunities. In countries where the poverty rate is uncontrollable, we can eradicate poverty. In countries where hopelessness exists, we can provide hope.

 

Our History

In March 9, 2001, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) under the leadership of Brian Dane Sanders organized a mission trip to Haiti. There were about 12-15 students that went on this trip. We were to be hosted by New Mission, a mission organization who has a campus established in a village called Neply.When we arrived in Haiti many of our students experienced immediate culture shock. They were immersed in a world with real life poverty in its truest form.

They were speechless and surprised due the condition of the people and the condition of the land. When we arrived in New Mission’s campus we were protected and barricaded from the real world and placed back into the matrix of our comfort zone so that we could regain back our sanity. The drive through the city was devastating, scary and sad for many of the students. Immediate debriefing was initiated upon our arrival to the New Mission Campus.

I decided to go on this trip because I have not visited Haiti since 1989 and also I wanted to help by translating for the students. I really did not know that God had a plan in mind for me while on this trip. On the first day at the New Mission campus I met a young gentleman by the name of Eliphet who became good friends with me. Once Eliphet learn that I was Haitian, he immediately introduced me to many of the men of the village. Throughout the week the men and I would hangout and get to know each well. They would tell me about their life in Haiti and they would tell me about the many problems the country itself faces daily...Read More
