What is the charitable cause you are most passionate about and why?

The charitable cause of Friends of the Catholic Biblical Federation (FCBF) is what I am passionate about. FCBF is a US nonprofit and voluntary organization that is geared towards education and is religion-related which gives a sense of fulfillment to teaching and learning the Word of God to all kinds of people, whether children, youth, and the elderly. FCBF promotes and develops the Biblical Pastoral ministry and actively participates in the Church's mission of evangelization by sharing the Word of God. FCBF facilitates fruitful sharing and networking of biblical pastoral experiences, reflection methods and materials, and other resources. FCBF promotes and supports the translation, production, and distribution of the bibles to Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and other minority countries and remote areas worldwide. In addition, FCBF biblical studies and the production of educational tools for a better understanding of the Bible. FCBF establishes bridges between biblical science, pastoral ministry, and Church communities on all levels. FCBF also promotes interconfessional dialogue based on the Judeo-Christian Scriptures' shared heritage and the dialogue between the religions based on Sacred Scriptures and those scriptures considered sacred by other faiths.

What is the charitable cause you are most passionate about and why?

Klove and Air1 Radio Stations are 100% listener supported, the music and messages make a difference in my 75 min daily drive one way, to and from work. They help me to start my day better and remind me that God is in control. On the CFC, Klove and Air1 fall under the charity listing of Educational Media Foundation. I also contribute to the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund and to the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation, both because I believe in what they do and how they spend the money they receive.
