our work
began in August 2005 as Hurricane Katrina victims emigrated from New Orleans to Douglasville, GA, a western suburb of Atlanta. Many of the storm-ravaged families relocated to our community needing furniture, beds, and appliances as they moved into apartments, rental homes, and trailers. Via email, we asked our friends to donate these items which were freely provided as God’s people had need, along with prayer and referral to other resources.
As time progressed, God revealed more of His plan for Faith In Action. We began to create a relationship-based network of churches, ministries, business, and civic organizations as a means to serve people in need on behalf of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Still later, we learned that Faith In Action was created not just to serve the poor but to build unity within the Body of Christ and further a spiritual transformation of Douglas County, Georgia.
Before He was glorified, Jesus prayed that we would be brought to complete unity, “to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” John 17:23
