The Battle Is
Not CBCN's - It is the Lords'
The Christian Broadcast
Committee Network has witnessed an extraordinary level of increased commitment to families and youth that emanates from everyone
associated with CBCN. Clearly, it is only through God’s precious
Power, Goodness, Mercy and Holy Spirit, that we are able to maintain such a high level of commitment. When carrying out CBCN's
responsibilities of serving disadvantaged families through
our Annual Scholarship Program, we know "the battle is not ours, it is the Lords'. With God's guidance, we will continue to invigorate
this organization for years to come.
We
know, it is imperative that CBCN keep God first in everything we do in order to maintain the Christian leadership that is required in
our unwavering commitment to the mission of positively influencing urban youth, families and their environment with Christ-centered
programs. Truly, it is the commitment and dedication of our volunteers, Board members and supporters, and their love of the Lord, that has generated this standard of
excellence and success. This spiritual mindset has become the unspoken and unwritten norm at CBCN. Furthermore, these values are exemplified by our volunteers and supporters in their willingness to
give back to the community, allowing us to continuously re-examine, and strive to improve the services
we offer to the disadvantaged.
Few
families get the opportunity to start over after facing setbacks. However, I believe with God’s power and love, and
through family members receiving private spiritual consultations, our goal is to motivate and prepare them with educational
program opportunities, so that they are able to leave the state of welfare dependency and move toward becoming more self-reliant. We believe through outreach programs, such as counseling, goal setting, training, spiritual
awareness, cultural development, mentoring and workshops, the families we
serve will ultimately learn to use their faith and lean on their God given talents, and find strength and confidence
in themselves. This will allow them to become a positive influence to
their family members and society.
I plan to continue to encourage the
spirit of commitment that has always been, and which must be, the essence of CBCN. As long as we keep God first, we will
be successful. God bless and remember that God Is!
