A Growing Ministry...and Project

Most people what to know the driving force behind the ministries they support, and for now that's primarily me!  The sooner I'm replaced with hundreds of faithful churches leading the way, the better...but until God blesses this project and ministry, here's what's driving me.

I can't remember a time I wasn't led by God, though I didn't fully recognize how much until I reached my late twenties.  God has a way of leading us wherever He knows is best, and that included a highly dysfunctional family life as a child, a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ at age eleven, and numerous athletic and leadership accomplishments in my teens.  From there I earned a degree in Business Administration from the University of Alabama and Commission in the United States Army by age 22, before enjoying unexplainable success in business by my early thirties.  But my gifting in faith, understanding and empathetic care, and the urging of the Holy Spirit encouraged me to leave my financial career behind to join a church staff and establish the Career Assistance Ministry, which linked Birmingham's seven largest churches in ministering to double-digit unemployment in the early 90s.  The success from that ministry is at the heart of The Better Project--God is a part of everything, and the more we unite together in glorifying and enjoying Him in all things (including careers), the more we can recognize His Church loving Him, Better Together!

Life has a way of moving us around too, including marriage, parenting, and for me, divorce...and that last one crushed me!  But twenty years later, after my three children graduated from college, it was time to pick up where I left off, uniting churches to recognize and glorify Him more, with ALL our hearts, souls, strengths and MINDS.  

In the interim, I became an organizational development consultant devoted to helping people accomplish more with less in more than a dozen industries ranging for retail and wholesale, to business services and FDA regulated environments.  I earned a Masters in Biblical Counseling from Birmingham Theological Seminary a dozen years ago, and have been studying neuropsychology, philosophy and physics for the past few years to help me share what I believe God has revealed through a book series titled, BetterForYouBooks.  

Which leads me back to you!  If you're reading this, it's because you've been touched in some way, to simply keep this ministry in your prayers, or participate in one or more of the ways described on the ministry's landing page.  If you have any questions about me or The Better Project (TBP), please click the chat button below, which generates a direct chat.  As for The Better Ministry, that's all about you...and everyone like you that unites us for the glory and enjoyment of God...Better!
