Peoria, Il, Us

Leads pallet/shipping container reclaim and recycling business for Pathway Ministries, formerly Peoria Rescue Ministries. This enterprise exists to provide a developmental environment to help develop work skills and work-readiness habits for people Pathway Ministries serves. This is a vital stage in the "rescue to recovery to restoration" process we employ to help address the material poverty of people, while we address the spiritual poverty of so many in our area. This Christ-centered Christian ministry is doing amazing things in people's lives. Hundreds in the past few years have rejoined our community in paying jobs in many companies in the area. (https://pathwaypeoria.org/residential-programs/)Additionally, we provide a large amount of the area's mulch needs. Wood and pallet materials not able to be recycled back into service as such, we turn into high quality hardwood mulch - adding to our ability to steward resources well. (https://peoriamulch.com/)Coaching, mentoring, and role-modeling for these people is what God has most recently called me to. I so value the opportunity to speak truth with love to those whom God has called here. Building into people's lives and finding ways to build the commercial enterprise to support more opportunities for more people to be helped here is my calling.
