How Fred Came to Christ: I have been blessed to come to know Jesus personally as I was growing up, going to church, and being raised in a loving family, which taught be about God and His love. I cannot rember a time when I did not have a personal faith in God.
Role at Center of Hope: I am the Pastor/Program Director. I am responsible for keeping the overall ministry focused on our mission statement: Reaching out with God's love and grace to people who have difficult life issues. I am responsible to see that we continue to have vision for the future and where God wants us to go. I manage and/or assist in the programs of the Center of Hope. I am a pastor and a spiritual guide to all the guests and acquaintances of the Center of Hope. I work at fundraising and promotion, especially as it continues to grow as an outreach ministry.
Why Fred Helped to Start the Center of Hope: Coming out of seminary, I had a desire to minister to people who were struggling with difficult life issues. I found it intriguing and effective to minister to people wholistically --- both physically and spiritually, and never one without the other. Jesus always showed care for the whole person; He would forgive people as He also brought healing to their body. Thus began our winter clothing ministry many years ago, and the rest is history.
