Michael
Garrett - Executive Director
I am a husband, a father, a son and a sinner. Only by the grace of the Father am I saved and allowed to work with this ministry. I accepted Christ as Lord of my life when I was 31 and I remember very well what I am saved from. I also remember the questions and struggles I had while learning what it meant to be a Christian.
It wasn't until Nov 2004 that I knew what God wanted from my life. I spent 20 plus years working in the manufacturing world, in such positions as Vice-President
of Operations, Director, Plant Manager and the list goes on. During
a layoff in mid 2004, I was able to listen to God, and through
much prayer, I met with the other members of this team and together
started FCM. The pull I felt from God was so strong and the vision was so clear I had to wondered why I didn't hear the call before. Only to realize that I was so caught up in my own life that I didn't have time for God, even though I called my self a Christian.
Two things I learned during this growing process.
1 - God can't move you in any direction if your sitting on your butt.
2 - My level of stupidity does not change God's level of grace.
I am a very hyper and driven person which is why my life verse is "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
Psalm 46:10
