SLMAW 008 – My Family Is My Mission Field with Bill Fraine – Part 2 of 2

What You'll Hear:

One day he realized he needed to stop praying for himself and start praying for others
Bill's pride kept him at first from taking a job being offered, but then he listened and God prospered him
Nothing scares him.  His family is saved and God has taken care of him through the worst times

Since being saved, he now looks to the Lord rather than someone else in order to make something happen
Bill says he's over himself now.  You can't offend him.
His family is his mission field.  Everything else is OK to fail at, but not your family.
Fear is the only weapon Satan has.  We just need to be still.
Remember to always tithe

Q&A* continued from Episode 007
Tell Us About When You Went Through a Tough Time Financially
One day it just hit me that God was saying "Bill, I've got this.  You're good".

I had been praying for myself.  I  started looking around at all the foreclosed homes so I started praying for the people in the neighborhood instead.

I got a call from a young guy John I had worked with before at Fedex.  I then got a job at Aramark running a sales team in Long Island.  I got promoted.  Through this we always tithed.  I then got a call from a headhunter who I had talked with earlier when I was looking for work who had previously told me I was a has-been.

He had an opportunity in Greensboro and I just hung up on him because of my previous experience.  My wife challenged me to pray about it so I did and I checked out the job and took the job.

It's amazing what God did through all this.  I was that has-been and no-one was going to bring me what God has brought me.  There's nothing that scares me.  My wife and daughters are saved and He's taken me through the worst I'm ever going to go through and showed me He'll take care of me.
Talk About The Difference Between Your Success Before Being Saved and Your Success Now
I used to look to what person I needed to make something happen.  Now I'm looking to the Lord.

I'm still doing my job to the 100% of my abilities, but I'm not trying to finagle the next thing.  I've realized that if the Lord wants something for me I'll get it.

I can still be successful but I know it's from Him, and I enjoy success so much more.  I'm now the COO and the founder was never going to give up that power.  That's what the Lord does.

I'm over me now.  You can't offend me.  I don't lose my cool (I definitely could before).
Spirit Round
What is the Greatest Misunderstanding Men Have About Their Work?
From a secular standpoint, the biggest misnomer is that we think our job is our life and it's not.

From a Christian standpoint, my family is my mission field.  I can be great at everything but if my kids and wife aren't with the Lord I've done nothing.

Everything else is fine to fail at, but not your family.  Make their lives in the Lord complete.
Talk About Excelling in Your Job
We have a set of values at work that are great and I support those and espouse them.

I will fire someone if necessary and hold people accountable, but I can never do that in a non-fruit-of-the-spirit way.

People know I'm a Christian so it matters how I act.
What is Your Favorite Scripture and Why?
Hebrews 11:3 "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." (NKJV)

It reminds me what everything is all about.  It reminds me who's in charge.

Frank Paretti "This Present Darkness" talks about how everyone in the world either has demons or angels around them that illustrates this.
What Can You Recommend For the Commute to Work
830 AM Radio The Truth Network out of Greensboro.

At 8am is John MacArthur, reminds me of Adrian Rogers.  He's a very good Bible teacher.

K-Love.
