BLUEPRINT
Welcome to the initial web site for Our Stewardship University (OSU).
The background theme of a blueprint suits this stage of the development.
What you find on this site is just a rough sketch of what is to come.
Even this site is a work-in-progress.
When you come back in a few days or a week, there will be important changes.
The launch date of this initial web site for OSU was 11/7/03.
Dozens of people have prayed hundreds of prayers to bring this to you.
Let me take this opportunity to thank them.
I could not have come this far with out their love and prayers.
The main struggle has been to design a simple way to organize the site.
Now that the design has gone wide and shallow it can go deep in key places.
Soon there will be many and various audio messages added to this site.
The site is silent at the launch but come back next month for audio delights.
HUMBLE BEGINNING
What you find here is just the humble beginning of an innovative ministry.
Today Our Stewardship University lives in the founder and prayer supporters.
Very soon Our Stewardship University will become a legal entity.
Before New Years Eve of this year hundreds of people will visit this web site.
All of them will be invited to participate.
Many will enroll and together we will co-create a compassionate community.
We will study and apply the many lessons that the Bible teaches.
We will reach out to those near to us and far away.
In Jesus name we will communicate the truth in love.
God the Father will be glorified as we abide in the True Vine and bear much fruit.
The Holy Spirit will guide, empower and anoint our actions.

FOUNDER
Do not expect that you will understand the full scope of OSU quickly.
This has been growing in the mind and heart of the founder for many years.
John S. Oliver is the founder of Our Stewardship University.
And many places on this site I write in the first person.
I am most comfortable writing letters and essays.
I have posted some of my essays on this site.
