Corey's Texas Missions Story

After a series of unfortunate events, Corey found himself at a crossroads. Sensing a divine calling deep within his heart, Corey stepped out in faith and contacted the Christian Men’s Job Corps (CMJC) in Lufkin, Texas.

What began as a plan to restart his life, soon provided a place to learn new skills, and experience support and growth that would transform his life. At CMJC, Corey found a community of kindred spirits, and individuals striving for spiritual growth and empowerment.

CMJC introduced him to a faith community of strong spiritual men. Corey’s love for learning not only opened doors to new employment opportunities, but also, life skills and a faith community that would challenge and encourage him.

Corey also walked away with a desire to give back. He had experienced the transformative power of CMJC and longed to be a beacon of hope for others.
