The Vision & Plan for FYCP!
After spending 13 years in full time ministry and then another 13 years in the corporate business world, I began to wonder what God really wanted me to do. A dear friend of mine said to me one day, “You have been given a unique set of experiences. Many pastors never have the opportunity to work in the business world and many business professionals never have the opportunity to work as a full time pastor or minister. You have a combined 26 years experience in doing both (13 in ministry & 13 in business)!” As I thought about what he had said & about my burden for helping young adults in today’s world, it began to make sense. God had uniquely prepared me to start a ministry that would combine the experience of teaching & counseling God’s Word with the successful experience of working in the business world to be able to help and equip young adults for life! This is what FYCP is all about.
Our motto is simply, “Investing in those who impact our future.”
Here are the critical aspects of this new ministry:
