Jacob's Ladder Community
Jacob’s Ladder Community is actually a spin off program of Jacob’s Ladder Meth. It is the exact same template as Meth but with Community we have an unlimited subject matter. Everything is done the same but instead of limiting the topic of the meetings and the topic of what the specialists can “specialize in” we leave it open ended.
While Meth focuses every month on drug problems in the community, this program focuses on whatever topic is deemed appropriate at the time. A schedule can be set up and topics can be dealt with monthly, quarterly or randomly. If the group is in the middle of a series and something important to the community breaks out, then the scheduled topic can be placed on hold and the new topic be taken up while it is relevant and needful.
For example: let us say that Jacob’s Ladder Community is meeting every month at the local Holiness church under the direction of the local youth pastor. It meets every month and discusses peer pressure. A week before the next meeting there is a spree of burglaries, rapes or gang beatings in the local youth community. The regular meeting on peer pressure is put on the shelf and the Pastor comes in and does two months in a row of meetings about whatever the problem is and how Christ is the solution for it. Everybody in the community that is affected by the problem has an interest in the meetings. After the situation is dealt with, the meetings about peer pressure resume.
This is merely an example but you get the picture. Jacob’s Ladder Community is a way for a man of God to pastor a community and not just a congregation.
