Mission Update - Fueling the Entrepreneurial Spirit

Fueling the Entrepreneurial Spirit

      In her own life, Syvoskia Bray Pope has faced plenty of hurdles and roadblocks, but by God's grace and a healthy measure of personal determination, she is educated and enjoys a rewarding career helping others in realizing their own lifelong ambitions!   As a microenterprise coordinator working with Mayor Fischer's office, Ms. Pope assists aspiring entrepreneurs in opening small businesses through community loans and grants!   Recently, Ms. Pope presented business opportunities to a large group of women and men in Wayside Christian Mission's life skills training program.   These presentations were both beneficial and timely, for our clients will need to earn a living when they leave our care.  Rather than being a drain upon the public coffers, our recovery clients receive valuable, ongoing training that will help them in becoming productive citizens.  Hats off to Syvoskia Pope for her sincere dedication and professionalism!
