"God's Work in Progress" (TM)- The Voice of Excellence in Faith and in the Workplace: The American Opportunity

God's Work In Progress- PARTNER WITH US!

Hello friends,

God's Work in Progress is an outreach of the Foundation for Excellence in Faith and Work. It's radio program, also called God's Work in Progress is the voice of the Work-Faith movement. Our vision is to transform the marketplace. We want to be a force for excellent work to Business, Government and Education and excellence in faith for all Christians working within it. By increasing positive influence on these three societal components, we make this fallen world system more effective and more Just. Our premise is this: Saving the world, begins with credibility. Credibility as a Christian is doing a GREAT job, and having a CLEAR demonstrated faith. These are the two outcomes we seek to create in people and organizations, we call it EXCELLENCE- in faith and work.

The American Opportunity- I've worked really hard the last 15 years. Took out a student loan (at 45) to get a graduate degree, (Seminary) and paid it off in two years. I got a non government job that combined my desire to serve God and help people. Eight years ago I started my own business after being laid off. I'm getting ready to start another one at 60, (the radio program). I drive on roads I

helped pay for, in a car that is paid off."I kill what I eat".

I get no vacation pay, no holiday pay, no 401-k, no sick days. But I do own all the stock in my company, but then I'm assuming ALL of the risk. This is not to brag or to say that anyone should do what I've done. It is to say this " It is like planting a seed. You plant it...you water it..it sprouts..........you weed it, you protect it you nourish it...you harvest. You feel great. And if you're smart...you realize that you did your part, but you didn't make anything grow. "Something" else causes the growth and the harvest...somehow what you planted grows.. "Somehow"..... And its NOT the government. The best government can do is to watch the game being played, call the fouls, and protect the freedom to do it. If it does more it starts to do harm. THAT is what the American opportunity is about. Then comes a harvest, sometimes big, sometimes not. Because the harvest, is a harvest of more than you think.. its way more than you think. The idea of the risk...of having that chance...and that you MIGHT fail.....builds character...if you're honest about the process.
