In The Beginning
While touring the Christian Women's Job Corps program in San Angelo and hearing one woman testify about how the program had impacted her life, Roger Julien recognized the potential in the approach, and began to wonder why there wasn't anything of the same sort for men, but he still initially was reluctant to develop the program for men.
Having been involved in prison ministry 14 years, he immediately recognized its application for men released from prison
He discoverd the Woman's Missionary Union had a blueprint and outline for a program for men, but it never had been implemented.
"In February 2003, I got real passionate about it, but I didn't tell anybody for two weeks, hoping I could get out from under it. But nobody said anything, and God didn't say anything. He just wouldn't let me sleep," Julien recalled.
Thanks to Julien and a number of other men in Concho Valley Baptist Association, the Christian Men's Job Corps is now a reality.
The San Angelo program is the pilot for a program to mentor men and give them additional skills to help secure a job or to better their employment, the program calls on participants to attend classes for several weeks. Each class includes Bible study as well as life skills such as personal finances, legal issues, basic computer training, communication skills, resumés, job opportunities and interview skills.
