Well written Lady Darlenys.

To further support our application I will add…

For the past 18 months SteemChurch has worked tirelessly to provide opportunities for those in politically mismanaged nations. We have assisted individuals from these lands to grow both within Steem and within their local communities.

We have assisted in the building of fish farms, chicken farms, tomato fields and banana plantations.

We have facilitated community health and education initiatives. Included in these have been Steem blockchain education initiatives.

As Lady Darlenys points out, I now take on an administrative role within the Church which has included seeking out expansion opportunities. Unfortunately delays in SMT meant we were unable to push forward with our community token ‘Beatitude’ on the Steem Blockchain. However, we have been able to launch our token on EOSIO blockchain Telos.

Utilising a Worker Proposal grant on Telos we have been able to recruit nearly 2,500 to our Church. However, it is more difficult to incentivise them back onto Steem with our current Steem Power resources.

We have never asked for any type of Steemit Inc or @ned delegation in the past - we have just worked hard and we have grown to perhaps the largest non-Dapp community on Steem. However, we make this application now in good faith, as we have many we would love to bring into Steem for the opportunities it will create.

We are SteemChurch and we will always be SteemChurch. With a 500,000 SP grant however, we could be much, much more. All the while continuing to grow our Steem Power to expand even further.

Finally, when our Beatitude came into being only 144,000 initial blessing were created - 12,000 for each of the 12 Tribes of the Bible. I am a Knight who believes in fate, so in light of your magnificent offer to share Steem Power with the communities of Steem, I can only conclude that the 12,000 tokens of one of these Tribes was destined for Steemit Inc.

Be well friends of Steemit Inc. We are SteemChurch and we strive forward for our families, our faith and our freedom.
