Neighborhood Kids to Exhibit at Fort Lauderdale, Florida Franchise Show September 9th and 10th


As Neighborhood Kids, the faith-based preschool concept that provides exceptional early education and foundational family values, looks to expand, it will be exhibiting at its first franchise show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on September 9th and 10th, 2022 at booth 313.

After serving Florida families for over four decades, powering through the COVID-19 pandemic and undergoing a brand refresh, the brand moved to franchising to further expand its reach.

“We’d like to have Neighborhood Kids franchise owners situated strategically in communities in South Florida and Central Florida,” explained Frank Toral, CEO of Neighborhood Kids. “We are seeking franchise owners in communities that can support large preschools throughout Florida and then ultimately, if that goes well, to begin opening up schools across the south and beyond.”

The demand for private Christian schools is high as ever, and many families are left on waiting lists as they work to enroll their children in programs that align with their personal values. Toral explained that the same rings true for all Neighborhood Kids locations.

Since January 2021, all Neighborhood Kids locations have remained at capacity with additional students on waiting lists.

“Neighborhood Kids is committed to positively impacting neighborhoods across Florida by providing exceptional early education together with foundational family values,” Toral said.

For Toral, this looks like bringing safe, fun faith-based learning to the early childhood education scene in Florida and beyond. As the brand begins its expansion, growth within the state will allow new franchisees to leverage the existing love for the brand while closely connecting to the founders and support of others within the Neighborhood Kids network.

“We give [franchisees] an opportunity to earn a good income, but to make a huge difference — a generational impact — in their communities and the lives of hundreds of kids. So it’s a sense of purpose. You know, we’re looking for purpose-driven leaders,” Toral explained.

ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS:

Neighborhood Kids got its start as a preschool established in Wellington, Florida, in 1978. Now a private, faith-based early childhood education organization, Neighborhood Kids provides generational impact through safe, fun, supportive, and God-honoring early education environments.

A Review of the Seven Laws of a Prosperous Christian” is an engaging discussion of how to achieve true prosperity


News Image

“Future Perfect: A Review of the Seven Laws of a Prosperous Christian”: a helpful reminder of the seven laws which lead to success in three key areas of life. “Future Perfect: A Review of the Seven Laws of a Prosperous Christian” is the creation of published author Jerry Udoh, Ph.D., a certified public accountant and CEO of many businesses. Dr. Udoh is an accomplished Christian writer who has authored many books that have given hope and inspiration to many. He is an apostolic and prophetic minister and is currently the founder and senior pastor of Gilgal Christian Center, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. He is also the president of Gilgal Ministry International, a global nonprofit Christian organization devoted to reaching the four corners of the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ by bringing assistance to the less privileged and setting the captives free through the power of intervening prayer. Dr. Udoh is the executive producer of Breaking Bread, Moving Mountain Prayers, Upper Room, and Gilgal International Productions TV programs that air on various internet platforms.

Dr. Udoh shares, “God’s plan for you as a believer is that you live in victory on earth with your eyes earnestly focused on the life of eternity with Him. The Lord revealed this much to prophet Jeremiah when He declared in Jeremiah 29:11, ‘“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”’ John the Apostle reiterated the same promise when he wrote in 3 John 2, ‘Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospered.’ Victory connotes winning over circumstances that are in opposition to the fulfillment of your destiny, and to be victorious is to be free to live and utilize your potentials as God has ordained. From the Scriptures, we can therefore boldly conclude that there are three levels of prosperity the Lord plans for His children: prosperity in health, material prosperity, and prosperity in the spirit.

“I call this total or true prosperity. Therefore, to be a prosperous Christian, you must seek for and position yourself to be a partaker of this total prosperity. And this may not be possible unless you obey certain laws that pertain to life and godly living. These laws are seven in number. This book is a compilation of all the seven laws in one volume.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Jerry Udoh, Ph.D.’s new book will empower and inspire as readers reflect on the message within.

Dr. Udoh shares in hopes of bringing awareness to the steps necessary to find oneself in line with God’s plan for a prosperous life.

Consumers can purchase “Future Perfect: A Review of the Seven Laws of a Prosperous Christian” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Rick E. Hall’s newly released “What My Prodigal Son Taught Me about the Love of Our Heavenly Father” is an impactful family story of struggle and God’s grace


News Image

“What My Prodigal Son Taught Me about the Love of Our Heavenly Father: From the Old Testament Father of Wrath to the New Testament Father of Love”: a deeply personal account that will resonate with many. “What My Prodigal Son Taught Me about the Love of Our Heavenly Father: From the Old Testament Father of Wrath to the New Testament Father of Love” is the creation of published author Rick E. Hall, a loving husband, father, and grandfather who attended Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in speech with a minor in religion. After many changes in career, he became a registered nurse. Hall was called to work at hospice, where he was certified in wound and ostomy care at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and designed a successful hospice wound program for his then employer.

Hall shares, “This book is about the struggle of the author raising his youngest child and his need for total dependence on his Lord to make it to this point and to meet future struggles. His son was cute and a socialite but also a con artist. McCade was brought up in the church but never really grasped the concept of Christianity. He spent most of his life acting out because he felt abandoned by his biological mother.

“After having many skirmishes with the law, leading to several placements and jail time, McCade was let out of detention, only to return to his life of crime. Finally, on August 20, 2021, he was arrested and booked for something, which led him to pray through and accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior. The prodigal son had returned to his home.

“Through all his adventures, his father learned about God’s wrath on his children for their disobedience. God punishes his children because he loves them, and this author learned that the wrath shown to the Israelites was God’s love, not true wrath. And because God never abandoned them or the author when they sinned, how could the author abandon his son?”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Rick E. Hall’s new book takes readers deep into the challenges faced by a family determined to help a son lost to God’s light.

Hall shares in hopes of encouraging others who find themselves faced with similar challenges to trust in God and keep the faith in the darkest moments.

Consumers can purchase “What My Prodigal Son Taught Me about the Love of Our Heavenly Father: From the Old Testament Father of Wrath to the New Testament Father of Love” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Bringing the Christian Community Together, Despite the Divisions of COVID-19


News Image

“I noticed the division in leadership and how people were struggling with their faith,” Bishop Spencer said. “I want to help those who are confused, because of the pandemic, and to help point out which voice to follow.”

Bishop Harvey Spencer never thought he’d witness and be part of a pandemic. He was able to be part of other historic events, such as witnessing the appointment of the first black president and the first female vice president of the US.

In “A Biblical Response to COVID-19,” Bishop Spencer uses his observations and experience, as well as the Bible, to help those who’ve been feeling the divisions of the pandemic. Bishop Spencer first preached on the subject in 2020 and talked about safety precautions. From his perspective, he was able to observe how the people who came to his church felt lost and mentally drained by the events.

“I noticed the division in leadership and how people were struggling with their faith,” Bishop Spencer said. “I want to help those who are confused, because of the pandemic, and to help point out which voice to follow.”

Bishop Spencer has assisted the homeless, those of low-income and has helped those who have faced hardships. He has used his church for ex-offender programs and mentoring programs for girls and boys. He has also hosted an open dialogue between the men of the community and the Raleigh Police Department.

For those who may read his book, the author’s goal is to save lives and provide a clearer understanding about the global pandemic and one’s faith. Bishop Harvey wants people to develop concern for others, build character, and learn compassion towards others.

Donald Preston’s newly released “When God Calls” is an informative discussion of the highs and lows of serving in the ministry


News Image

“When God Calls”: a helpful opportunity to learn from a seasoned pastor. “When God Calls” is the creation of published author Donald Preston, a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather who retired after serving forty years of full-time pastoral ministry.

Preston shares, “When people say, ‘God has called me,’ do they know what that really means? When this book was originally conceived in the heart and mind of the author, it was for those who felt ‘called’ to become a pastor. But as it was being written, Pastor Preston realized what he had always known and believed—that the calling of God into any type of ministry is a very serious matter and is not for the weak in heart or for the uncommitted. The reality of the words of Jesus are still true today: ‘Many are called, but few are chosen.’

“Pastor Preston highlights in each chapter the highs and lows of that calling, covering more than forty years of pastoral ministry in the spiritual trenches. His desire is that anyone feeling the call of God on their life into any type of ministry will come away with the answer concerning the call of God. One ought to go boldly for it because when God calls, He also equips and sustains.

“The Lord will walk with you every step of the way until He makes that one final call home. It will be there where we will hear those long-awaited words from the Master Himself: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.’”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Donald Preston’s new book brings a real-world perspective to the calling of pastoral ministry.

Pastor Preston’s desire and hope is that this book will help not only those who are called to Pastor, but for anyone who feels called to any type of ministry, and that they can better understand the seriousness of answering God’s Call, as well as the promised blessings of that Call.

Consumers can purchase “When God Calls” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

For additional information or inquiries about “When God Calls,” contact the Christian Faith Publishing media department at 866-554-0919.
