Phil’s Mission

Phil Bowers' interview with St. Mark's Church.

To build a stronger and more sustainable community, not only by promoting wise use of local natural and economic resources, but by identifying, developing and including underutilized human resources that are effectively prevented from participating in the local economy.

Making an Impact while Creating Sustainable Solutions.

  • Develop mutually beneficial relationships with local employers that will provide employment opportunities.

  • Rebuild and strengthen family relationships, socially and economically.

  • Provide opportunities that serve as alternatives to incarceration, minimizing the impact on families, communities, and society.

  • Advocate for anti-discrimination policies that limit abilities for citizens to become economically sustainable.

Why?

  1. People matter to God. All people, regardless of what we did in the past.

  2. God came to visit us to fix what was broken. Remember that Jesus not only healed the lepers’ physical illness but he sent them back to the temple. He restored them to the community.

  3. Society has been using the wrong ruler to measure the worth and value of people. A person’s value is not determined by their economic station in life. People have value because they are God’s creation.
