Our Mission

Our goal is to serve our community as we are serving Jesus by working with standing organizations such as: missions, child care systems, churches and shelters to get a full understanding of the needs of the community, which are not being met. We believe unity is the key, so we focus on becoming united as a community of leaders, working to serve Jesus and those in need.

When we are lost, God always comes to us through another person. For me, it was two people, my mother and a radio pastor (I wish I knew his name). My life at 43 years old, had become a total mess. My marriage of seven years was ending and for no real good reason, except lack of love and caring. It started with him and spread to me. If it had been just the two of us, this would not have been that hard to deal with, but we had a four year old child in the middle of it all.

Before my son was born, I was doing great and our marriage was content. I had a great job at IBM and doing extremely well. This was an achievement I was extremely proud of and felt I had every right to be. After all, I am a small town girl, who graduated with 16 people in her high school class and was the first person in her family to graduate from high school, much less graduate with a BS in Computer Engineering. This was major stuff for me and I felt it gave me value and outside of my achievements, I felt I had none.  You see, I WAS a child who felt unloved due to divorce and to compound matters, I was also a child of rape.  This is a tangent, which I'm not prepared to go down right now, so we will save that for later.  These two things do, however, play a very important role in the path which I had found myself going down.

So, there I was standing on top of the world watching as my marriage and career fell apart right under me.  I felt completely powerless to stop any of it from happening. In June 2010, I found myself completely flat on my back. I had to go home to Texas to visit family to recover and get my legs back under me. I remember wondering why bad things continued to happen to me...and I worked to convince myself I was a good person.

During this visit, my brother and I were debating with my mom about the Bible being a trustworthy source, due to the fact that it was written by man. I remember my mother being somewhat horrified that I didn't believe the Bible; however, her lack of real knowledge prevented her from having a real debate with us (this is why you need to know your Bible!! Sorry mom!!!). However, somehow her words about Jesus being the only way to salvation must have still been sitting on my mind...even though her argument was weak.

As I drove back from TX to NC my mind was weary. I was not looking forward to being so far away from my family. Being a single mom with a four year old child is very scary when you feel so alone and distant from those who love you. I had been driving for about 12 or so hours when a pastor came on the radio. Music was what I needed to keep me awake, so I hit the seek button, but again there was another pastor talking about Jesus. After hitting the seek numerous times, I realized I should stop and listen. I had an overwhelming sense that I needed to listen. My hand recoiled from the radio as if it might bite me and I listened very closely to what was being said.

The Pastor said, "Do you wonder why you continue to struggle?". I shook my head YES, as this was exactly what I had been wondering. He answered, "It is because you have not been living for God.".

I remember it was as if my eyes opened up for the very first time...and the light finally came on. I instantly knew THAT was EXACTLY my problem! The Pastor then said, "Say this prayer with me...Dear God in Heaven, please take my hand. I've been struggling for so long and I'm tired and NOW I'm ready to take You into my life. Forgive me for taking so long to come to You for help! I'm Yours now! Please forgive my sins and make me whole. I'm living for You now and I realize You are the light of my life. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.".

As I said these words with this Pastor, tears started to role down my face. I knew the Lord was speaking directly to me through this radio station and my life and my heart were transformed in that moment. For the next year, I devoured as many Bible teachings as possible, several times a day. I didn't just pray, I got down with my face on the floor and begged for God's mercy. I found a church and became baptized with His spirit. I dedicated my life to trusting Him and following Him.

As I became closer to Him, He provided me with the understanding that the love I had been so desperately seeking my whole life, was His love....not the love of a father, spouse or others. I no longer craved to be successful or approved by my peers or my upper management. Peace began to fill me up and the things, which used to be terrifying to me, no longer seemed like such a big deal. I found myself standing on my own two feet with courage and confidence to face a giant.

When God was satisfied that I was trusting Him, He brought someone very special back into my life, who is now my husband, Jim. It was Jim's faith in God, which caused me to know, without doubt, he was the one for me and that he was my blessing for trusting God.

Life is still challenging, but we know now where to turn for support and we know He will never let us down!!

Thank you God, for never giving up on me! Please fill my heart with Your Spirit, my mind with Your Wisdom and my soul with Your Grace! Provide Your Armor for me to wear to protect me from harm and provide me strength enough to be Your warrior. Please bless my family and our world!!! In Jesus holy name I pray, Amen.
