From CCM Consultant, Chuck Coward:<br />
Thank you for empowering significant pieces to the past 9½<br />
years of my life’s journey! I have journals filled with all that God<br />
has taught me and a life changed by all that I have experienced in<br />
living out His call toward life being restored to His original design<br />
and purposes.<br />
Please know that in terms of geography and passion I’M<br />
NOT GOING ANYWHERE! <strong>The</strong> Board of Directors and I continue<br />
to work on a plan for Human Needs Network. Details will be surfacing<br />
as we have them. I encourage you to keep your eyes and ears<br />
open for Love God, Serve as a local missions strategy combining several<br />
of our initiatives as well as leveraging some past experience.<br />
I am also engaging in several other arenas, including a coaching and<br />
facilitating business: Be-cause, LLC – A Way to Live. A Way to Work.<br />
A Way to Give. <strong>The</strong> broader focus of this work is to help congregations,<br />
businesses, non-profits, families and individuals find clarity of<br />
and through their “Why?.” We then take a hard look at the real<br />
investments of time, energy and money and determine whether or<br />
not they are truly moving toward the success of that vision.<br />
God is so good!! He really is! Bask in His goodness! Be faithful to HIS<br />
calling and vision! Become a life restoring presence in the whole of<br />
this world He created and entrusted to us!!<br />
