Announcement of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives in Guam made at National Conference
June 28, 2008
( Washington DC ) Governor Felix P. Camacho today was the keynote speaker at the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives National Conference. Governor Camacho was invited to speak at the two-day event which featured President George W. Bush and attended by Cabinet and public and private sector leaders at the Omni Shoreham Hotel. The theme of the conference was "Innovations in Effective Compassion".
"Government is most effective in addressing human need," said Governor Camacho. "When it welcomes every effective partner—faith-based and secular, large and small, when it taps into and multiplies the ingenuity of social entrepreneurs, when it harnesses the passion of dedicated volunteers and the compassion of neighbors serving neighbors."
Governor Camacho spoke on the success of President Bush's Faith Based and Community Initiative, that since launched seven years ago had matched nearly 90,000 children of prisoners with caring mentors, assisted in reducing ex-offenders return to prison at rates less than half the national average and facilitated major reductions in the number of homeless veterans, and chronic homelessness overall.
"This demonstrates what can occur when dedicated nonprofit organizations are given a central role in National efforts to solve the great human needs of our day," said Governor Camacho.
Governor Camacho also announced the establishment of a Faith-Based and Community Initiative in Guam , the 35th Governor to do so since 2001.
"As with the Federal Initiative, it will be focus first and foremost on solving some of the most pressing issues facing the people of Guam and Micronesia ," said Governor Camacho. "As President Bush describes, it will be a "determined attack on need."
Governor Camacho was invited to speak at the National Conference after meeting with Director of the White House Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives Jay Hein during a visit to Washington DC this past May.
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen! Hope is confident expectancy. All of you have the ability to do whatever you need to do. In faith and hope, you can overcome every trial and accomplish things things you never thought possible. Don't shirk in fear when opportunities or even obstacles come your way. With an attitude of faith, and expectancy you can do great things and bless others with your work. You have a servants heart that looks for ways to meet other peoples needs. You are transforming lives from inside-out as you touch the hearts and minds of those in need. And so 'Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.' Thank you and God Bless America ," said Governor Camacho.
