For the past 25 years I have served as an Associate Pastor at a large church on the West Bank of New Orleans. I began at entry level taking over a failing Day Care at our church with only 18 children enrolled. They invested in me an immediately had me State Board Certified License Day Care Director. Within a period of 6 months we had an enrollment of 60 children. We positioned ourselves to be the best service oriented Day Care in our Area and by the end of the year we had an enrollment of 150 children. Financially we were able to prove we could actually build a state of the art Day Care Facility Jubilation Daycare. The head of administration then appointed me as the new Youth Pastor because the existing Youth Pastor went to Russia to open satellite churches in Kurdistan Russia. I took over a Youth Ministry with only 20 youth. The next year we exploded and had over 150 youth in our ministry. Our Youth Camp trips consisted of 150 youth going to Gulf Shored Alabama with a supporting staff of over 20 volunteers. We had over 8 successful Youth Camps with an operating budget of $25,000 per year all provided by local business donations. I decided to begin this process to help defer the cost for the trips for youth who came from low income families. The nest year our church bought an old Canal Valerie for $1,000,00.00 and I was appointed the project manager to renovate a 60,000 square foot facility that had been abandoned for over 20 years. Tis property was located on one the largest four corner intersection in a highly business populated area. We started this renovation process in January of 2005 and had a completion date for September 5th, 2005. This new facility would house our Christian Academy of 400 students form PK-3 to 12th grade. We bought this facility because we were experiencing a massive growth of new members and school enrollment. On August 29th hurricane Katrina hit our city and we had devastating damages to our new facility. It took us only 2 months to gut and renovate our new facility and open our school the first week of October 2005. I remained as the Associate Pastor and then received the title of Facility Operations Manager. I had complete over sight of all building repairs, renovations and codes and permitting.
