2012 Annual Report
Dear Friends, Family and Funders:
Sometimes it gets complicated to explain who or what Central Detroit Christian CDC is. It’s a housing organization. No it’s a youth ministry. Wait a minute they develop businesses and employ people. Here’s an explanation I like—we are a patchwork of people doing all of that while loving God and loving people.
People surround us all the time and they are all so interesting with different stories at different stages in their life and growth, all

Like so much of nature, Oak Trees are remarkable. For example, there are over 600 species of Oak trees or shrubs. They can live in a variety of climates and are a very strong and sturdy tree. There’s actually an oak tree in South Carolina that spans 85 feet and they say is 1500 years old. The acorn which takes nearly 18 months to mature holds only one seedling. Oak wood has great strength and hardness and is quite resistant to fungus or insect attack. And, oak trees are a common symbol of strength and endurance.
