Walking by Faith: 52 Day Faith Journey

By Sherman A. Gordon

Having given birth to a congregation with seven members and growing to a membership of 2,500 plus only to walk away from said ministry at its peaking, pastor, preacher, leader, teacher, and friend to all, Sherman Gordon, DMin., knows a lot about Walking by Faith. He now sits down to pen vital words one can live by in their daily walk toward the God-given destiny in their life.

Have you ever wanted to press reset? Needed a miracle? Well, this fifty-two-day journey based on the great feat accomplished under the guidance of Nehemiah is the prescription required for aiding you in your walk toward fulfilling your purpose and greatness.

In Jerusalem, the city, walls, and landscape laid in a dilapidated state for years. But in fifty-two days, the nation would experience a complete turnaround and renovation. God wants to grant the same miracle unto you.

Get ready for a life-changing trip. No excuses for not traveling; the only cost involved is that you commit to walking daily toward the desired destination God has in store for you. This is a faith trip designed to increase your faith in God. This is a trip designed to restore and strengthen your faith in God where perhaps it has been weakened by lifes trials, troubles, tribulations, and tragedies. This is a trip designed to make you emerge as the victorious warrior you are in Christ. Are you ready? Pack light, and if that is impossible right now for you to do, go ahead and stuff everything in your bags. We will discard unnecessary baggage as we travel along. Are you ready? Lets begin walking by faith.

Sherman A. Gordon

Father, Faith Walker, and Fearless Leader are words used to describe Sherman A. Gordon, D.Min. the founding and Senior Pastor at Family of Faith Christian Center (F.O.F.C.C.) located in Long Beach, CA. On November 7, 2010 he stepped out on Faith and organized F.O.F.C.C. and since its inception the ministry has grown by leaps and bounds. This Bishop, Pastor, Preacher, Teacher, and Leader is able to build bridges and reach across generations, gender, race, culture and ethnicity that changes, rebuilds and restores lives. People in search of partnerships instead of persecution, guidance instead of guilt, and opportunity instead of opposition often join after just one visit. Many frequent Family of Faith Christian Center in multitude because they feel the warmth and love upon entering the church doors. The church stresses kinship over membership. Pastor Gordon maintains that members are not joining the church they are joining the family. Bishop Sherman A. Gordon, DMin. has achieved much. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Pre- Law/Sociology from the University of California Santa Barbara, a Masters of Arts in Religion from the School of Theology at Claremont in Claremont, California, a Masters of Education from the University of Phoenix and his doctoral degree (DMin) from the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. Dr. Gordon is an Educational Instructor at the University of Phoenix. Believing that mission work starts at home before moving abroad, Bishop Gordon has engaged in mission work and projects within the United States such as after Hurricane Katrina where he traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana for aiding and comforting displaced residents. He also visited Gulfport, Mississippi to assist in rebuilding homes for the hurricane victims. Aside from engaging in mission work throughout North America, Gordon has been involved in projects on the continents of South America, Africa, and Europe.

Dedication

In memory of my loving mom, Malissie C. Price. You taught me not only how to live and walk by faith, but so much more by living and walking by faith before me. I love and miss you immensely …

To my heart and soul, my children, Exodus and Eden for truly being my strength and inspiration at all times. As your grandmother modeled excellence in faith before me, know that it is my daily desire to do likewise by displaying the same before you.

Let’s leave a legacy of living and walking by faith for generations to come.

-Dad
