You Have the Power to Change the World
Founder of The Neighborhood Christian Centers, Inc.
When I served as Executive Director of the Neighborhood Christian Centers, Inc., I had the opportunity to see God do some amazing things in our organization and our community. Thousands of lives have been transformed for the better, but I didn't do it alone. These miracles came about with the help of the Lord and many dedicated individuals. Helping others is a ministry that myself and my family have dedicated our lives to. We believe that one person can have an impact on the lives of many and many can have an impact on the world.
I have always had plenty say and with this site I now have a place on the web to say it. In the future I will begin blogging my opinion of today's churches in a segment called, "The Church Is In A Stew." I'm sure you'll find some interesting discussion pieces there.
If you're interested in learning more about myself, my family, or the Neighborhood Christian Centers, Inc., and how it grew to be the dynamic service organization it is today I recommend that you purchase one or more of my books.
As Christians it is our duty to help others, and God has equipped each of us with the ability to do so. You can have a positive impact on the world. All you have to do is find something you're passionate about and be willing to do the work. I've found my passion. What's yours?
This website highlights some of the things that are dear to my heart such as foster care, the small black church and the Basin Camp Meetings I attended as a child. Feel free to send me a comment. I would love to hear from you.
Be Blessed!
