May CEC Update

This month, we are adding testimonies to our updates!
It is incredible to see how the Lord is working in our Ministry Partners!

TESTIMONY

James, a dedicated husband and father of four, came to the CEC hoping to enroll in our Pathways Career Training Program to gain the skills needed to support his family. At the time, he was unemployed, and his wife was working two jobs to keep the household afloat. After three months of hard work, James successfully completed his training and earned his HVAC certification. He recently accepted a job as an HVAC technician, earning $18 per hour. With his new HVAC certification and experience he’ll gain on the job, James is now on a path to even higher-paying opportunities, bringing him closer to his goal of providing long-term stability for his family. Thank you for your generosity, which empowers us to transform lives by restoring hope to James’ family—and many more like them!

  CEC’s Senior Network is an outreach to and for senior adults 62 years or older. Seniors meet once a week at our Community Room to enjoy and participate in devotional time, light exercise, games, entertainment, fellowship and informative speakers. The goal of Senior Network is to reduce isolation and empower seniors to engage the world around them and help them remain active and independent as long as possible.
