Charles Thompson has been living the life of a visionary for years.\u00a0 As he sees a need, he establishes a vision for how things should be, and then has put a track record in place for how to achieve the desired results.\u00a0 In the early 1980s, Charles recognized that New York City wasn\u2019t the place where he wanted to raise his three young daughters, so he made preparations to get a transfer to Tampa, Florida.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t matter that they didn\u2019t know a soul in Florida or that they had never been there.\u00a0 He, his wife, and his three young daughters picked up, moved, and made a home there.\u00a0 He and the family have been living in the greater Tampa Bay area ever since.<\/p>\n
A few years after living in Tampa, Charles recognized that the neighborhood his family was living in was changing for the worse, and he wanted better for his family.\u00a0 So he bought a piece of land in a sparsely populated neighborhood north of Tampa, and proceeded to build a house for his family.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t matter that he was a mailman by trade, and didn\u2019t have any contracting experience. \u00a0 He built his family a house, and 20 years later, he still lives in that house with his wife Sandra.<\/p>\n
So when in 2007, after 25 years of walking with Christ and studying the Word, it should have come at no surprise that Charles would have established another vision as a solution for a problem.\u00a0 During the years of his walk with Christ, Charles noticed that many believers didn\u2019t actually know what the Bible said.\u00a0 Sure, they went to traditional churches, but for a variety of reasons, they knew very little about the Word.\u00a0 As such, they often had trouble putting its principles into action in their daily lives.\u00a0 So after being inspired and led of the Holy Spirit, Epistle of Christ Ministries was established with the goal of teaching the Word of God to those who are looking for greater spiritual growth and guidance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
