MESSAGE
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: As
the founder and executive director of Faith Based Community Development
Corporation (FBCDC), I feel so blessed to a part of an organization
that is committed to help make a profound difference in the lives
of working families.
As a retired banker and a Christian, I am blessed to use my gifts
and talents to help others to improve their quality of life. My
faith calls me to do this work and is part of my response to a call
from God, which is biblically based. We are called to be good stewards
of what God has blessed us with.
Many have asked what faith are you talking about? What faith do
you have to be to get help from FBCDC? My answer is easy…it
is not anyone else’s faith that I’m talking about. I’m
talking about my faith calling me to use my gifts and talents! My
faith teaches me that faith is a verb and as such we are called
use it to do something. “Faith without works is dead”.
For me that something is “helping to empower working families
to increase their economic capacity and provide them access to resources
that can empower them to realize their dream of home ownership”.
I recognize that people hear the call of God differently. He speaks
to each of us differently. He speaks to us softly and is a gentleman
that does not force himself on you. We should not waste time worrying
about our differences. We should focus on those things that we have
in common. The common values shared by most, regardless of how they
hear Gods call, are grounded in fundamental principals decency,
caring for family and service for a greater good that provides opportunities
to help make this world a better place. To the extent that we can
join together and celebrate our common values of faith, we can harness
the power of faith and allow God to use us to help bless others.
If you hear his call for you to use your gifts and talents to help
make a difference that helps to improve the quality of life of others,
I would like to extend the invitation for you to join with us. Come
and partner with us to help make a difference. Your gifts and talents
can help us to do more and make more of an impact in the lives of
those that we serve.
