What others are Saying

Paul Benjamin is a long-time friend and fellow minister. We have worked together for over 20 years through strategic planning and partnership to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Church and Community.

Along with his gift of leadership, Paul operates in an apostolic way to establish and mentor those who are currently in ministry as well as those who are just beginning their ministry. 

Paul has established several organizations that focus on intercity renewal, mentoring programs for youth and adults, and community outreach. 

Paul was instrumental in bringing healing to the City of Sanford, Florida during the Trayvon Martin incident, as he worked alongside Federal, State, and local agencies, local pastors and ministry leaders, and the families affected by it.

Paul is involved in leadership positions with nationally recognized organizations encouraging the gathering of Christian men for purposes of joint prayer, mentoring, and creating collaborative outreach to strengthen the Body of Christ. 

Paul Benjamin is a true servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, and an asset to those he labors among.

I thank God for Pastor Benjamin and (CFDC).  My life and my children’s lives were significantly changed since the Dream Center opened in the community.

I did many things that I was not proud of, I used to drink, smoke, did drugs and many other things that I was not proud of. 

After the Mentoring Relationships I encountered at the CFDC I no longer: drink, smoke, or use drugs.

I am a much better woman and mother, I now attend church. I now have my license and own my own car. With their help, I was able to move out to the Projects and into my own Habitat Home. 

The Lord is now restoring my entire family. I am now in Management at a local Business in the region. I volunteer as needed to help others overcome the challenges in life.  Thank you Lord, for all you have done…

I consider Paul Benjamin to be a personal friend and colleague in the ministry. We met with another pastor twice a month for accountability purposes. He has been in the Sanford area for many years, seeking to work with others to do together what we cannot do alone. In particular, he wants to reverse and impact the societal ills of broken families.

Paul has been mentoring families throughout his ministry, and I believe God has given him a great vision to turn around the lives of hurting families in Sanford. He continues to gain the people resources and together we pray for the financial resources to support this outreach to the poor and needy. 

His integrity and experience warrant recognition for those who are ready to invest in ministries that will bear fruit towards making a difference in families and society.

More churches in the area are sharing in his vision and supporting him with prayer and mission funds. We pray that God will complete the good work that He has started in the Central Florida Dream Center.
