Hello and Welcome, this is Pastor Smith if you are here and reading my bio, I would like for you to know a little about me and what I do and hope in sharing my story you would come to find your why.

My mission in life is clear, Empowering Individuals to be Self Sufficient, Self-Reliant & Economically Independent this is achieve thru Education, Information and Training.

My team and I, work with companies that re-invest back into our communities; strengthening their resolve and resilience. I am a grassroots leader, community service coordinator and a builder of people, places and things. My greatest passion is giving back, serving the Economically Disadvantaged and contributing to the increase of entrepreneurship, home ownership, and economic empowerment regardless of race, creed or color.

I enjoy helping individuals to reach their highest potential, understanding the relationship they have with themselves and the one they share with others. Engage in dialogue that listens, embraces and supports the triumphant spirit, "never to quick." and addressing the issues of Social Injustice and Wounded Hearts.

My life has been influenced by a belief system of community, in a neighborhood that held a viable interest in where they lived, and for me, even though that venue was initially public housing, the commitment to its upkeep fell upon the shoulders of everyone that lived within the community.

What prepared me mostly in serving the community at large, was how they manage their daily lives on a day to day basics. What was represented and what I saw among people I encounter and the stories they told of survival, making it work and keeping it moving. These experiences had a significant impact on my life.

Years later, when I revisited my community and saw the existing state of the neighborhood from whence I've come, unfolded the vision of Restoration Community Development & Empowerment Initiatives (RCDEI), the need to restore hope by way of Education, Job Training, Housing Development and Social Infrastructures. Tools that is necessary in the holistic approach of rebuilding lives Families, financial stability, physical health and well-being. . I am the Visionary for the times we now live, exploring self discovery, life paths and empowerment. I AM THAT I AM. I would hope that you will begin your Journey, Find your Truth and allow me to share in it, however I am needed.

To Your Success,

Pastor Smith
