Imagine this: you have spent the better part of your adult life honing the skills you need to succeed in your chosen field – real estate, catering, or hotel management. You have done everything “right”: you’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, attended the conferences, and even found a mentor with decades of experience to guide you.

And then, the unexpected happens.

You or someone who depends on you gets sick. Your company starts making changes that include layoffs. A poor choice at a low point in your life has difficult professional consequences. Or a global pandemic renders your century-old family business unsavable.

These are the kinds of issues WorkFaith clients face when they walk through our doors. Their stories are ones of hopelessness, desperation, and fear. They have nowhere else to turn.

We have the honor and the privilege to help them see 1) they are not alone (God sees them in their struggle, and so do we) and 2) there is a way forward.

Thank you for being a part of the WorkFaith community and supporting our efforts to provide faith-based training and coaching to anyone who desires long-term employment. Though you may not witness what we do every week, you can trust that your support is changing lives and that God is restoring hope in the hearts of our clients!

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” – Galatians 6:2

As believers, what does it look like to bear one another’s burdens?

So often in our busy, fast-paced world, we smile and ask each other in passing, “How are you?” But do we actually listen for the answer? At WorkFaith, we want to be a Christ-honoring, loving community that bears the burdens of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

With that said, how are you, really? Let us know how we can be praying for you!

What does it mean to network? Why is networking important? How can it help you during your job search?

You can find the answers to these questions and more on our Career Advice Blog in the post titled “5 Networking Do’s and Don’ts” by Houghton Hutcheson. Read below for an excerpt and click onto our website to subscribe!

• Networking involves action. In other words, it doesn’t just happen. For networking to take place, you have to do something.

• This something consists of interacting with others. Interacting can take place in many ways: face-to-face, over the phone, via email or text message, or Zoom.

• During this interaction, the goal is to exchange information. As the term suggests, that means information flows from both directions, which involves asking questions and telling stories.

“That was the way for God to tell me, ‘I’m here for you. I’m going to help you. Don’t give up. I’m taking your hand.’” - Roberto Valle

When Roberto Valle rang the bell in the entryway of WorkFaith’s offices, he was close to despair. A banking professional, Roberto had been pushed out of his job in his home country of El Salvador when the economic landscape began to shift there. Suddenly, he found he could no longer afford to live.

In search of better opportunities for himself and his wife, Roberto moved to the U.S. But he faced significant challenges in his years-long job search, the most difficult being that many jobs in the U.S., he found, required English speakers.

Emotionally overwhelmed and feeling hopeless, Roberto decided to seek help from WorkFaith.

Our bilingual instructor, Alex, quickly became Roberto's ally, informing him about our Job Search Accelerator program. From our Spanish JSA class, Roberto not only learned how to properly format his resume, but he gained the support of a loving community and the confidence he needed to continue his job search. This pursuit paid off: not long after attending the JSA class, Roberto started working for a market research company!

After years of feeling depressed, Roberto now feels “alive again.” He is employed, equipped for even greater success in his future, and befriended by a Spanish-speaking community here in Houston that reminds Roberto of how God loves him. And that makes all the difference.

WorkFaith graduate Kimanzi left our program wanting to "pay it forward" and bless others as he had been blessed. We are so grateful for testimonies like his and for how God encourages our graduates in their journey. Read below for Kimanzi's story:

"I now feel very well-equipped to go out and confidently look for employment. I would like to ask each one of us to pay it forward for what we have learned to better ourselves and help anybody we can. Let us not forget that this arrangement is also a blessing from God, and we can use it to bless someone else. Philippians 4:6-7, which keeps me encouraged, says, 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.'"
