SIDE BY SIDE 24 is a faith-based non-profit organization which supports the 2 Timothy 2:2 teaching, writing, and mentoring ministries of Rex Blankenship and Side by Side Mission partners dedicated to that purpose. Be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me…entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also (2 Timothy 2:2).
Side by Side is dedicated to encouraging others to take their love for God and others to a higher level, to inspire generational change in at-risk and special needs youth, student/athletes, coaches, and preachers in order to create a ripple effect as Side by Side works with churches to train, send, and support interns to replicate this model in urban and university cities, both nationally and internationally (2 Corinthians 3:18-4:7).
Side by Side is not a new program. We have just set it on a new track for this time in the teaching, writing, and mentoring ministries of Rex Blankenship. We have been training leaders and giving hope to others for over forty years. We know the value of education, the benefit of sports, the vital importance of a church where the pastor faithfully preaches the Word of God, and the ultimate worth of sharing the love of Christ. Our emphasis is to Love First and Love Most.
We began Side by Side as an approved IRS 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization in 1991 to train high school and college interns, preachers, and missionaries with hands on experience in ministry to inner-city at-risk youth. Our ministry has expanded into the sports realm to teach and mentor student/athletes, coaches, and special needs youth. Side by Side also supports pastoral families and mission partners located in the poorest areas, nationally and internationally. Side by Side is accountable to and advised by leaders of Springs of Grace and Journey Bible churches.
Our Philosophy
Our Mission is to LOVE FIRST and LOVE MOST,
Our Philosophy
Do not be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ (2 Corinthians 11:3).
The wisest person who ever lived stated that the most important issue in life is to “love God and love others.” Everything else in life, including purposeful significance and personal happiness, hangs on that.
We are all infected and affected
Do not be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ (2 Corinthians 11:3).
The wisest person who ever lived stated that the most important issue in life is to “love God and love others.” Everything else in life, including purposeful significance and personal happiness, hangs on that.
We are all infected and affected by the pandemic disease of Self-centeredness. Our fears, anxieties, and frustrations are highly contagious; but we feel immune to the self-destructive force which hinders, weakens, and kills other relationships. The only antidote is to learn to love with a total commitment to the best interests of the other person. Love First and Love Most, unconditional in attitude and unselfish in actions…whoever…whenever…wherever.
I am far from perfect in this, just a survivor of my own selfie world. I am still learning the infinite nature of love’s width, length, height, and depth. I can always extend and expand my love to someone else regardless of racial, social, political, or religious differences.
I pray that every student of this teaching, mentoring, and writing ministry will be clearly instructed and consider well that the main end of his/her life is to know God and Jesus, which is eternal life. I pray that they will lay Christ as the only foundation of all learning and knowledge, seeing that only the Lord gives wisdom. I pray that, even if no one else listens, I will learn to Love First and Love Most.
A lot of people have helped me
get where I am.
One of those is Uncle Rex, an unpaid volunteer Life Skills Coach.
We need Partners who believe he needs to keep mentoring young men, like me.
