Felecia J. Mitchell

Her role as assistant to the executive director of American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS) allows Felecia J. Mitchell to fulfill a heartfelt desire to work for an organization that follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, exhibits love by helping those in need and makes the world a better place for all.
