We are teaching Stewardship not Ownership in using Trust Laws; shedding a laser light of understanding on the word of
God; that is showing us the straight and narrow path from God, through Jesus, back to God as joint heirs with Christ in
realizing that the promise: "The lot shall be an inheritance” is found in Stewardship and not in Ownership.

There will be a surplus, a surplus that can be traded with the nations of the world. I can believe this,
because I believe that the loving, caring God, who created the world for humankind could never have
intended a world of scarcity. The God, whom I worship, would never place humankind in a land that was
unable to provide for life and life abundantly. I can believe this before I can believe that God intended that
the poor would always be with us. But there is a condition to the promise. “He will richly bless you, if
only you fully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you
today.” (Deut. 15:4-5)
The blessing and abundance of the Promised Land are dependent on the faithfulness of God’s people to
God’s commands to be responsible stewards [This is where we find that the key to end homelessness is
found in stewardship and not in ownership.] It is at this point that an apparent contradiction enters the
text: “If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the Lord your God is
giving you; do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother. Rather be openhanded and
freely lend to him whatever he needs.” (Deut. 15:7-8)
How can this be? We’ve just been told that “there should be no poor among you,” and then we are given
instructions as to what to do if there is a poor person. Did Moses get confused? Is this a contradiction? I
don’t think so.
This is only explained in trust law and grossly misinterpreted in religious circles as was in marriage to
have and to hold your wife was to own mere chattel. How could this be so grossly misinterpreted for so
many centuries? To take a wife to have and to hold, to become one, should never have been labeled as
having received your property to own your wife or to own the children that she bore. It should have been
taught that this ‘to have and to hold’ meant that you had a fiduciary, a stewardship, a trusteeship toward
God for the benefit of Jesus, because it was he that is the beneficiary of all that we hold. The ‘at one’
should have been seen as the single entity and the joint tenancy of holding that was held in trust under
God’s authority for the benefit of Jesus.
As long as Jesus has not come back for the second time, God is the owner of all things, and God as
Creator, Owner and Grantor to the Abrahamic Covenant (Trust), has placed those things of promise
including the land into that trust. We are to hold and to occupy, but not to take our portion out of trust as
a distribution to ourselves, until such time that Jesus returns.
It is he that will inherit all things. There are some today that feel that over their dead body will Jesus get
their property. This is not an issue for debate and the fact is that the property will go to Jesus and if they
do not like it, their portion will be hell.
After Jesus receives the distribution of the trust corpus from the trustees, the trustees will join Jesus as co-
heirs - that is if Jesus has received his inheritance first. We would have to agree with Michael as he has
pointed out, that there is no provision in scripture that he has seen yet that indicates that someone in this
4 of 15
realm and of this age will be able to circumvent the Trust of God, this Abrahamic Covenant, and acquire
property as such that at the time of the return of Jesus, no distribution of that property will be held back
from Jesus or go to some other beneficiary.
We may have a challenge debating the wrong labeling of trustee with the word heir in scripture, but it will
be far less difficult to verify than finding scripture to support the non distribution of trust corpus to
anyone but Jesus FIRST as first fruit to the inheritance.
As we view the Abrahamic Covenant as a Trust Document it brings a whole new understanding to the
Bible and to the origin of Trusts and our Law. You cannot understand Trust Law without understanding
the Stewardship relation to God and Jesus. Furthermore there are many concepts in scripture that are
clearly understood from Trust Law the combination of Christian Stewardship and Trust Law. As we read
Deuteronomy this is where God told his chosen people the Israelites how they are to act when they
occupied the land he is giving them as an inheritance; this is God’s Occupancy Agreement with the
people of Israel. Apostle Paul in his letters to the churches shows us how we are brought into this Trust
Agreement. As we review the word of God through this understanding we are called into our own
responsibility to God as in the story we read in Job. It is apparent that Job understood the difference
between Stewardship and Ownership. He was able to stand with and for God, inside all that was being
done to him, as he was a man after God‘s own heart.

A Plan to End Homelessness for Veterans
I have been doing home work on the problem of Homelessness and searching the internet doing research.
I have reviewed the VA's as well as other state and local governments’ plans on how they see an end of
homelessness in their communities. Here is one statement that seems to summarize all of them:
At the “VA National Summit Ending Homelessness among Veterans,” on November 3, 2009 secretary of
Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki, unveiled the department’s comprehensive five year plan to end
homelessness among Veterans by marshalling the resources of government, business and the private
sector.
“President Obama and I are personally committed to ending homelessness among Veterans within the
next five years,” said Shinseki. “Those who have served this nation as Veterans should never find
themselves on the streets, living without care and without hope.”
Shinseki’s comprehensive plan to end homelessness includes preventive measures like discharge planning
for incarcerated Veterans re-entering society, supportive services for low-income Veterans and their
families and a national referral center to link Veterans to local service providers. Additionally, the plan
calls for expanded efforts for education, jobs, health care and housing.
6 of 15
“Our plan enlarges the scope of VA’s efforts to combat homelessness,” said Shinseki. “In the past, VA
focused largely on getting homeless Veterans off the streets. Our five-year plan aims also at preventing
them from ever ending up homeless.”
I am certain that you will agree that even if they are successful in housing all of the homeless. It will not
be long until we see a new community of homeless once again; as homelessness as well as the poor will
always be in our communities; because of the source, the reason that is behind it is man’s irresponsibility
as being a Stewart of what God has placed into trust with mankind.
Now the solution is so obvious, at least it is to me as I am sure it will be to anyone who understands that it
has nothing to do with money, education, resources even free government housing as this is only a Band-
Aid. None of this will make this problem go away. The only solution to any and all of our world
community’s social and economic woes is and has always been laid out before us in God's word the
B.I.B.L.E. the Bible. I would like for you to consider that "God's plan to End Homelessness is found in
Stewardship not Ownership."
Now understanding, talking - preaching as well as praying about this is great, but, how do we live it out in
reality; in the face of a world that has ownership as the cornerstone of society? I am writing this teaching
as to state what is so today and then to show what was the original intent of God for Man at creation and
where we went out of integrity by not taking responsibility for our disobedience as in the story about
Adam and Eve. After the curse and in our selfishness we took on the story and the attachment to
ownership turning away from being responsible as Stewards of what God had created and given us
dominion over.
What I understand is that all of our effort to be in God’s well and to live a life in right standing with God
will not happen tell we take responsibility for the disobedience of Adam and Eve and all that has taken
place since that moment in time; as well as in our own life. God knew that we in our own effort, even if
we had lived as we were told we had to, as the chosen people of God. In the writings we find in
Deuteronomy, God’s Occupancy Agreement, with his chosen people. God had arranged a plan for us to
be reinstated back to Him when He sent is only Son.
Now you can see where I am going with this – To be in right standing as responsible Stewarts is to
believe in the saving power of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, being transformed and like mined with Christ
Jesus and being filled with the Holy Spirit. This has us giving up our attachments to our old ways and
taking on new ways that lines up with the fruit of the Holy Spirit which is Love. We are now called the
Children of God and are joint hares with Christ Jesus God’s only begotten Son.
This is how we restore our integrity with God by taking responsibility, asking for forgiveness, for not
being a Steward of God’s creation and for our attitudes and attachments as owners that has us living in
sin, (that is separation from God.) As we are forgiven by God we can now reclaim what His purpose for
us as caretakers and clam what has been promised to us, as children of God and joint hares with His only
begotten Son.
This is what I am taking on as my life work; my goal is to develop a Community Land Trust that holds
the land and makes the land available to an asset holding trust that has the improvement - building and/or
the home, this trust is controlled and managed with beneficiary interest. Then a Family Trust will hold the
beneficiary interest in the asset holding trust and will manage the assets with an occupant agreement. This
alignment of trusts will be the platform in which to manage the Emergency to Transitional and Permanent
Housing program.
TRUST 101
Let us go on to the discussion about how we are to be living in Trust and that we really can’t own
anything; if you can’t take it with you when you die then you really don’t own it. Do you understand what
a trust is? What is meant by “In God we Trust”? Have you ever heard the phrase “Living in trust”? How
about; are you a Trust Baby? Do you know what a “Nest-egg” is? Have you ever considered that the
Abrahamic Covenant in the Bible as a Trust Document? Let me break down what a Trust is and how to
create one, then how to live in Trust. The A. B. C. of living in trust is:
A. Trustee
7 of 15 B. Successor Managing Directory –
Heirs
C. Occupancy
The A. B. C. of creating the trust is:
A. Grantor or Settler A. B.
B. Trustee
C. Successor Managing Director – C.
Heirs
A trust is a legal document that holds assets i.e. property on behalf of an heir that will inherit it. When you
create a trust there is someone placing something into trust, a Grantor or Settler and someone holding the
assets as Trustee on behalf of someone who will inherit it as Successor Managing Director/Heirs/
Beneficiary.
A Trust is a contract that you can make it say whatever is needed at that time it is written. There are a lot
of different types of Trusts. We are going to discuss the Community Land Trust (NewStart Community
Land Trust), Asset Holding Trust (My HUT Trust), and the Family Trust.
In contrast, rebellion will result in hostility between mankind and the land.
The people who turn away from God will be persecuted and afflicted, but "the land will rest and enjoy its
Sabbaths." (Leviticus 26.34-35) Not only will the land no longer be safe haven, it will actually "devour"
its former oppressors. (Leviticus 26.38) Imagine "the land" resting by the pool, making up for lost time,
while polluters are beleaguered in Hades. (See also 2 Samuel 21.1-14, especially the first and last verses,
8 of 15
and 2 Chronicles 7.13-14. The state of the land is a sign of our state with God. Abusing the land is like
chopping the leg on which you stand. The people of the Bible were continuously farmers, vintners,
shepherds. They did not "mine" the land and so deplete it. Rather, they relied on the land as a sustaining
resource, year after year.
What is a Community Land Trust and how are they used today?
When you can see that the Bible is the bases for our Laws and we extract the Trust from this as well; not
only can we gain a better understanding of the Word of God we also can get a handle on how we can live
together in Community from inside of its frame work. Well I Google it and found quite a bit on the
subject. You probably heard about National Parks where they conserve the open space and setup wild life
reserves. This is all made possible through Community Land Trust let me go over the difference.
There are basically two types of land trusts: conservation trusts, which acquire and protect open space and
agricultural land; and community land trusts (CLTs), which is used more for housing and community
development. The modern community land trust model was developed in the 1960s by community
activists who conceived a democratically controlled association that would hold land for the common
good and make it available to individuals through long-term land leases. The roots of the CLT approach
lie in sources that are as varied as: the religious and ethical principle that there is both an individual and a
community interest in land; India's "Gramdan" system where villages act as trustees of land made
available for individual use; and European and North American "land bank" programs in which public
agencies hold and then sell or lease land, often to help preserve family farming or promote economic
development.
Community land trusts more often than not acquire and hold land, but sell off any residential or
commercial buildings which are on the land. In this way, the cost of land in the housing equation is
minimized or eliminated, thus making the housing more affordable. The land leases, in addition to being
long-term (typically ninety-nine years) and renewable, are also transferred to the heirs of the leaseholder.
Most, if not all, CLTs have in place "limited equity" policies and formulas that restrict the resale price of
the housing in order to preserve its long-term affordability. These features of the community land trust
model provide homeownership opportunities to people who might otherwise not be able to afford a home.
Higher rates of homeownership help even out the value and make the communities stronger.
Establishment of community land trusts began to take off in the early 1980s. The number of active CLTs
in the U.S. has been on the increase since 1987, as communities have come to see the flexibility and value
of CLTs. In most cases, community land trusts have been formed as a grass-roots response to specific
local needs. As a result, the roles that CLTs play are significantly different. Urban CLTs often deal with
9 of 15
combating the negative effects of speculation and gentrification. Many rural CLTs have been established
to ensure access to land and housing for low-income people and to preserve family farms. A number of
CLTs have also acted as developers of special needs housing or group homes, rental housing, and even
commercial space for lower income entrepreneurs.
Most community land trusts concentrate on increasing homeownership through stewardship, which
sometimes includes educating potential homebuyers on establishing credit, applying for a mortgage, and
maintaining a home. From Mile High United Trustee (MyHUT) perspective, it is important not to confuse
community land trusts with the MyHUT trusts (a Asset Holding Trust). MyHUT trusts are private entities
formed to hold property for the good of specific beneficiaries. They are generally closed arrangements
with no public input. In contrast, CLTs are democratically-controlled, non-profit corporations with an
open membership and an elected board of trustees. While members have a say in the policies and
activities of the CLT, there is no personal ownership of any portion of any assets which the CLT may own
or control.
Community land trusts are, by design, a way to link the individual members of a community with that
community's resources and challenges. This brings us to the MyHUT trust it can be apart of the CLT by
accruing and holding in trust any residential or commercial buildings which are on the land. NewStart
Community Land Trust is being develop on behave of the families of the local churches in communities
across the Country; as a community of joint heirs with Jesus Christ the Son of God. This is a community
of homes and business that may or may not necessarily be next to each other. Anyone can place Land
from anywhere into this Community Land Trust.

“MyHUT of your own” really mends. In the workshops they will learn to; save and budget for payments
as well as cost of repairs, upkeep of a holdings i.e. maintenance, remolding, cleanup and repair their
credit. As well as using a bank to manage budgets and build credit. There will be other subjects available
like; income opportunities, job hunting, business development, corporate credit and community
development.
They will also be invited to join clubs where there will be other opportunities to learn about Real Estate
trading, 1031 exchanges as a member in a Global Exchange and Marketing Club, (GEM) they will learn
more about Trusts and Corporations. Then in their Toastmasters Club besides learning about how to speak
in public they will gain experience in leadership and parliamentary procedure (Robert’s Rules of Order).
All of this at the same time as they are learning about God’s plan for the family (Living in Trust). With
the financial education on Estate Planning and Asset Protection they will be equipped to stay ahead and
prosper as Stewarts of what God has placed in their lives.
This is the first time most people will have ever had this kind of opportunity to learn about financial
matters and creating the possibility of having a sustainable and secure future based on Biblical principles.
Using the tools of the Asset Management and Asset Accumulation the families will be learning how to
create a sustainable future for their families and their hairs for generation to come truly being the stewards
God has called us to be. Our programs are Biblical based and we encourage our families to read the Bible
and to learn how to deal with day to day life. As the family is moving through this on going education
and can show that they have a stable income and ability to manage a monthly payment; they are ready to
move on from the transitional and into the permanent housing phase.

Family Trust then creates Occupant Agreement with an occupant that pays them monthly. This
could be an emergency or transitional housing unit that is apart of NewStart housing program.
Family Trust pays N.C.T. 10% of cash flow.
When the NewStart Community Land Trust has a family who has completed the workshops and
has received all of the training through the NewStart’s network of Providers and Mentors showing
that they are prepared to take on the responsibility; they then place that family into the Family
Trust and at that time the Family Trust is renamed to reflect the Families Ser name. NewStart
resigns as Trustee and the head of the family is named as the new Trustee as the Sovereign
(Overseer) of the Family Trust; the family and heirs are 90% beneficiaries the NCT is named as
10% beneficiary as joint heirs with Christ. Now they receive the blessing of inheriting the
resources of the property that is in the MyHUT Trust and the cash flow from the Pool realizing,
“the lot shall be your inheritance.”
The Family Trust has the ability to create other trust and corporations to expand their income potential.
The Family Trust can acquire as many homes and commercial properties as they wish to manage or have
NewStart manage for them with the occupant agreements. This is now the inventory of homes and
business locations for the NewStart’s Emergency & Transitional Housing Program as well as locations
for the NewStart’s Business Network to offer the start-up and small business in the network.
