FACE serves as a light and bridge between the Asian American community and the greater community at large by connecting and creating private and public collaboration, maximizing the capacities of faith-based organizations and other community non-profits, increasing access to resources and funds, and assisting low-income individuals and revitalizing neighborhoods.FACE, which was founded in 2001, has been actively striving to take on such a role by providing various services for the church and the community, including homebuyer education, healthy marriage education, financial literacy, small business training, foreclosure prevention, workforce training, to name a few.Currently, FACE stands as the main organization by which the Church's voice is represented in the political sphere. Im described that in most of the political functions she has attended, there were no other Asian Americans to be seen, and that only recently she saw another Asian American, Eugene Cho, at the past few annual Easter Breakfast Prayer meetings at the White House.In order to continue this legacy and to create an even greater representation of Asian American Christians in the political sphere in the future, FACE has also been investing in the younger generation by inviting them to events such as the National Lighting the Community Summit in Washington, D.C. This past May, 16 young adults went to the White House with other Asian American leaders for the Summit, during which they were able to advocate for issues such as mental health and at-risk youth; human trafficking; My Brother's Keeper, a federal initiative meant to empower young men of color; immigration reform; and affirmative action.
