Welcome to Robin Hood
Ministries.
We are a grass-roots ministry dedicated to sharing
the blessings(winnings) that we receive from the casinos. We channel
our tithes directly to the less fortunate.
We believe that each jackpot is
a blessing from God and that blessings must be shared freely. We let our hearts be our guide as to whom the recipients shall
be. When God puts a person in our path, we know, and we gladly share
our blessings with that person.
We don't share with the
expectations of receiving more. But in our experience, the more we
share, the more we receive!!
"But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; ....2 Corinthians 9:6 The Mission
Our Mission is three-fold:
1. To dignify the "Gambler" and bring them
closer to God
2. To teach Senior Citizens "Basic Video Poker"
principles so they can, on average, become consistent winners
3. To teach the principles of sharing
blessings(winnings) with needy, elderly, or others as our hearts dictate
And, hopefully, by accomplishing the Mission, we will help dim the "Sin City" lights and brighten the "Las Vegas" image.
A New Era for
Gamblers
We envision this ministry
being the beginning of a new era for gamblers by bringing them closer to God.
It is an accepted practice for
soldiers to pray before an upcoming battle, even though killing is a
sin. But the soldier is justified because he
is fighting an evil regime to liberate those oppressed who cannot
defend themselves.
It is also accepted, and even
creates respect, for a boxer to kneel in prayer prior to a contest in
which he is expected to beat his opponent to a bloody mass. Is this
violent contest justified in any way? Does it serve those in need in any
way?
In less violent sports, respect
is certainly shown to the young or old, occassional, amateur, or
professional athlete who kneels in prayer prior to a contest or game.
But when they come out winners, do they in any way share their
blessings with the needy? Does it bring them closer to God?
Why then shouldn't the
occasional, amateur, or professional gambler be respected when they
ask for blessings from God prior to engaging in a "non-violent" game
or contest of skill? Especially since those blessings(winnings) will
be shared directly with the needy. And, moreso, because this sharing
experience will bring them closer to God. No longer need the gambler
be ashamed of his/her profession or pastime. "God Loves Gamblers
too!"
Join Us
We invite you to join us. Our game of choice is Full Pay Deuces Wild primarily because
of the "positive payback" which in the long run virtually eliminates
"chance." We are non-denominational and accept all regardless of race,
religion, or game preference.
There is no fee, but donations
will be accepted and used to further the mission and serve the needy.
We ask only that you adhere to the above principle and share each of
your blessings(winnings) with a needy person of your choice.
As a member, you will receive
our spiritual support, guidance, and blessings. You may join us in
our fellowship meetings and online web forums. And, if you qualify,
you may participate in our"Basic Video Poker" training classes to
further enhance your blessings.
Also, we would ask that you
submit encouraging stories of your blessings shared and
received.
There is power in numbers- so
just think of the good that an army of Robin Hood Ministries members
can do by sharing their blessings. Not only will needy souls be
blessed, but the "Gambler" will become a hero to the poor- just like
the fabled "Robin Hood ." Perhaps our members can help dim the "Sin
City" lights and brighten the casino images."
But MOST important will be the
blessings you get from within when you see the joy and appreciation
in the eyes of someone you share your blessings with.
"God Loves Gamblers Too" but He
will love you even more when you share your blessings and let Him be
your Master!
Jimmie and Martha Walden
