"Poinciana Vision" Proposed

POINCIANA (PHN) | Ivan Maldonado, pastor of Bible Prophesy Revealed -- a Poinciana-based "home church" -- initiated a concept to save Poinciana from what he perceives to be crumbling community. Some local residents and area leaders disagree, citing crime rates in Poinciana far lower than anywhere in the city of Orlando.  They question Maldonado's motivations.

Poincianavision In a community were every "village" houses between one and a half-dozen brick-and-mortar churches, Maldonado said that his plan is to unite both church and people under a concept he calls "Poinciana Vision." Maldonado already has garnered support from a number of area nonprofits.

Maldonado uses his home address as the registered location for Bible Prophesy Revealed, a church primarily run with video services on the Internet. The church shows a 2007 income of less than $25,000 and is registered as part of the nearly $3 trillion U.S. nonprofit industry. Ivan Maldonado is operations manager for Polk County Transit, which is also seeking to pull together nonprofits that provide transportation to vie for a grant being offered by the federal government.  For the most current news on this group, watch for updates to this post.
