Allow Us Introduce To You...

We are delighted to have added Lue Williams and James Powell as staff members with our Technology Center!

Lue Williams is a native of St. Louis, who relocated to Chicagoland about five years ago after "the most beautiful women he had ever seen walked into his life". He has previously work experience in teaching computer courses and servicing computers. He increasingly sensed his gifts and abilities would be best utilized if they were paired with community service. Lue's personal mission and vision aligns with our mission and vision.

Also, with our Community Technology Center becoming busier by the day, Lue's computer background is a valuable asset to the community of which we're apart. Lue now oversees the Open Access service portion of our Tech Center and is developing a resume-building curriculum which will soon be offered on Saturday mornings. Resume construction and fine-tuning has been a need the community daily tells us about. We are grateful, therefore, for Lue's enthusiasm and ability to meet this need.

Lue has been married for a year now. He and his wife are expecting their first child in December!

James Powell was born in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago (just South of Woodlawn) and still considers this city home sweet home. Powell was first introduced to Sunshine when he "wanted to sign up for Internet use at the local library but, the next available reservation was the following day at 6 p.m.! The clerk gave me a flyer for Sunshine Gospel Ministries' Open Access program." Shortly after, Powell learned about the scope of programs Sunshine provides and inquired about staff opportunities. He continued to stop by for Open Access where in time he began to be introduced to various staff members.

At the time when Powell first entered Sunshine's doors he admits to "lacking drive and purpose" and experiencing some of the greatest challenges of his life. His new, part-time involvement with Sunshine as our technology center's adult class instructor is a service he described to me as, "Life changing for the students and I, both being dramatically impacted." Between the opportunities at Sunshine and his home church, he is invigorated with new avenues by which he can "share the good news of Christ and the salvation that his sacrifice has brought and will provide for those that will receive such a wonderful free gift!" Amen.

The energy the Lord has instilled in these two men is equally as exciting to Sunshine!
