Concrete Faith Illustrated(CFI), home for iconic brands such as Marvel Comics (Magneto, Ironman, The
Avengers, Spiderman) and DC Comics (Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder
Woman, The Flash), and everyday individuals , is the creative division charged
with strategically integrating its content across our local communities and the
world of social media.
CFI can impact and provide valuable information for our
youth by using social media. The best
idea ever was to use superheroes to protect the identities of those in need so
they would not get embarrassed among peers.
CFI works in concert with many key
components to unleash its technological, educational, hospitable, and low income home repairs across all media,
including but not limited to film, television, consumer products, home
entertainment and interactive online projects. Publishing thousands of articles,
21
st Century Skills Classes and graphics each year,
CFI is becoming one
of the well known organizations with a core focus on at risk youth, low income
families, single mothers, and senior citizens.
Concrete = To build and create
dreams, visions, imaginations, and desires into the physical real world.
No longer just mere thoughts
but now solidified ideas and concepts created tangible. Low income housing repairs and construction
projects
Faith = To believe in yourself
to achieve anything in life
Illustrated = To create a
foundation that shows, appears, demonstrates, and builds success
Concrete Faith Illustrated (CFI)
was created by Nathan Smith in 2008 as a non profit organization. CFI has
teamed up with The Ultimate Empire to provide services from 2006 – 2013. This
collaboration has given local churches, businesses, and individuals the power
of imagination. However, Mr. Smith then began to incorporate his gift of art to
events as well. Nathan has a superb artistic
detailed drawing ability to perfection. CFI and the Ultimate Empire expanded to
an immaculate reputation by targeting local community projects that need an
entity to bring their visions and desires into reality.
The connection to the local communities came about by CFI
adopting local streets and ministering to the citizens. Nathan would draw cartoon characters for the children
and even for the adult comic fans. An outstanding relationship with Genesis
Outreach Development Inc. gave CFI experience in mentoring and life skills.
Individuals and professionals began to seek CFI and the Ultimate Empire for
private contracts.
No just longer thoughts or your heart’s desire. CFI and the
Ultimate Empire could bring anything into existence.
Nathan in 2009 was introduced to
James Tucker and Thore Zohlssoneck as the unit was volunteers at the local
Benton Harbor Soup Kitchen. James and Thore agreed to create a corporation to
build computers and install internet systems to reach our local
communities. Nathan had the experience
to do “house calls” where he noticed several important factors. Low income
homes and families suffered financially without the capabilities of repairing
their homes. Senior citizens lacked a relationship with the computer world.
Rural and urban single parents do not have the technology for the children
attending school. Hundreds of at risk teens are falling behind in education due
to the lack of resources.
Thethe three men decided to team
up with this dilemma in our local communities. This was the foundation to merge
CFI, The Ultimate Empire, and Jarvis Inc. into one non profit tax exempt
organization. CFI was created now to serve as a Tax Exempt Organization to
reach and help develop our local communities.
In June 2015 was the launch of
the new programs called 12c (One To See Excellence). CFI made the correct modifications
after evaluations and measurements of each program to achieve the highest
quality provided to our participants. Therefore, CFI now has access to
professionals to assist the 12c programs to full capacity. The 12c programs
will provide an experience of a lifetime. It will reach and create a new avenue
for social media participants to receive a personalized experience in our
programs.
