Darrell Starling
I started this journey being led by the Lord to start a business to help redevelop struggling areas. My area of focus is restoring or what I call "reconstructing" Black and low-income neighborhoods. Through my experience in redevelopment, I started an initiative called ReCon-Struct NOW! based off of principles used in the Book of Nehemiah. Currently, I am implementing that concept in cities throughout the State of Florida but none more apparent than what I've been able to accomplish in the city of Lake Wales.

The Christian Mission is a faith-based ministry that carries a great passion to help those previously incarcerated to get re-established into society. We believe that at the core of every man’s heart is a desire for their life to have meaning, to belong, to be loved and to love. One of the greatest challenges in our society today is to find men who are true role models in their love for God and who share it with the next generation. https://gofund.me/165b30b8
