A couple of weeks ago, Kevin signed on with a CA-based company called Better Golf Academy. In addition to several other operations in the golf industry, BGA has an afterschool program that they offer to elementary schools. Their 8-week program is renowned in the golf industry and has been very successful in a handful of states throughout the U.S., most recently in Hawaii.
Kevin operates as an independent contractor, so this is a commission-only position. So far he has done a lot of footwork in contacting the school districts around the Valley, hoping for at least one bite. He quickly discovered that there is usually one After School Program Coordinator for each public school district, which can be a double-edged sword. If this one person says yes, then Kevin has access to all of the public schools in that district. However, if they turn him down, then that district is shut. There has been a lot of interest but so far no one ready to sign up.
After several phone calls and voicemails, Kevin finally heard back from one school district this week. The Coordinator for the Mesa school district wants to meet with Kevin on Monday to discuss the program that BGA is offering, and they are very interested because they don’t have any programs like this right now. This is great news!
Would you please pray?
Please pray that their meeting goes well and that Kevin is confident in his presentation. If Kevin scores this school district, then he will have over 100 schools at his fingertips, which has the potential to be very lucrative. This would be more than enough to provide for our growing financial needs. To give you some perspective, only 3 schools would get us by for two months! We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves, but this would be a MAJOR answer to prayer!
Since this is a commission-only job, Kevin has also continued his job search for a more steady income. Among other possibilities, he has been looking in the restaurant industry to start serving again. He’s done a lot of footwork this week, so please be praying that his efforts will be fruitful and he’ll get an offer soon.
Thank you for your support and for remembering us in your prayers! We appreciate you!
