The joy of the Lord emanates from Marcus who’s captivating smile is always on his face. He is about the Lord’s work at home, at work, and at play.  He taught himself how to play the organ so his talent for music is truly God given!  Marcus is Alfreda’s brother.

Testimony:	After working at the Coordinated Youth Services Council (CYSC) approximately four or five years, the agency began looking at moving in a different direction.  I was the Clinical Director at the time, but my position was going to be phased out.  There were 14 to 16 people working at the agency including interns from UC Berkeley and San Francisco State University.  I asked the Executive Director if I could go to half time and seek other employment which I was I allowed to do since my position was going to be eliminated within a short time.  I spent time in prayer and the Lord allowed another agency to pick me up half time. The Board of Directors of CYSC decided that they wanted me to remain at the agency.  Currently, the agency has a staff of four (4) and I am the only original employee that was kept; I am also working full-time at CYSC.  I am convinced that living for God and prayer made ALL the difference.
