Bill Fraine at the 2015 High Tech Prayer Breakfast

What You'll Hear: One day he realized he needed to stop praying for himself and start praying for others Bill's pride kept him at first from taking a job being offered, but then he listened and God prospered him Nothing scares him.  His family is saved and God has taken care of him through the worst times Since being saved, he now looks to the Lord rather than someone else in order to make something happen Bill says he's over himself now.  You can't offend him. His family is his mission field.  Everything else is OK to fail at, but not your family. Fear is the only weapon Satan has.  We just need to be still. Remember to always tithe Q&amp;A* continued from Episode 007 Tell Us About When You Went Through a Tough Time Financially One day it just hit me that God was saying "Bill, I've got this.  You're good". I had been praying for myself.  I  started looking around at all the foreclosed homes so I started praying for the people in the neighborhood instead. I got a call from a young guy John I had worked with before at Fedex.  I then got a job at Aramark running a sales team in Long Island.  I got promoted.  Through this we always tithed.  I then got a call from a headhunter who I had talked with earlier when I was looking for work who had previously told me I was a has-been. He had an opportunity in Greensboro and I just hung up on him because of my previous experience.  My wife challenged me to pray about it so I did and I checked out the job and took the job. It's amazing what God did through all this.  I was that has-been and no-one was going to bring me what God has brought me.  There's nothing that scares me.  My wife and daughters are saved and He's taken me through the worst I'm ever going to go through and showed me He'll take care of me. Talk About The Difference Between Your Success Before Being Saved and Your Success Now I used to look to what person I needed to make something happen.  Now I'm looking to the Lord. I'm still doing my job to the 100% of my abilities, but I'm not trying to finagle the next thing.  I've realized that if the Lord wants something for me I'll get it. I can still be successful but I know it's from Him, and I enjoy success so much more.  I'm now the COO and the founder was never going to give up that power.  That's what the Lord does. I'm over me now.  You can't offend me.  I don't lose my cool (I definitely could before). Spirit Round What is the Greatest Misunderstanding Men Have About Their Work? From a secular standpoint, the biggest misnomer is that we think our job is our life and it's not. From a Christian standpoint, my family is my mission field.  I can be great at everything but if my kids and wife aren't with the Lord I've done nothing. Everything else is fine to fail at, but not your family.  Make their lives in the Lord complete. Talk About Excelling in Your Job We have a set of values at work that are great and I support those and espouse them. I will fire someone if necessary and hold people accountable, but I can never do that in a non-fruit-of-the-spirit way. People know I'm a Christian so it matters how I act. What is Your Favorite Scripture and Why? Hebrews 11:3 "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." (NKJV) It reminds me what everything is all about.  It reminds me who's in charge. Frank Paretti "This Present Darkness" talks about how everyone in the world either has demons or angels around them that illustrates this. What Can You Recommend For the Commute to Work 830 AM Radio The Truth Network out of Greensboro. At 8am is John MacArthur, reminds me of Adrian Rogers.  He's a very good Bible teacher. K-Love.

SLMAW 008 – My Family Is My Mission Field with Bill Fraine – Part 2 of 2

What You'll Hear Bill was born Catholic in a large family in Boston He went from washing trucks to the top of FexEx reporting to the founder Fred Smith.  He was the only one on the leadership team that didn't pray and wasn't saved He went through a divorce then remarried.   He and his wife Dawn both came to Christ through an amazing experience with a stranger at a bar in Seaside, FL.  Part of that involved Bill's reading of Psalm 91 "He who dwells in the secret place" He knows his role at work is not to be a minister but to show the Lord Every day he prays for the Lord to bring to him who he wants him to talk to They retired and bought and sold real estate and ran a restaurant in Florida, then lost it all and had to move in with family because of finances Intro Bill Fraine was born 7 of 9 to Lorraine and Frank Frain in Boston, Massachusetts. He joined Fedex in 1979 as a handler washing trucks and spent 20 plus years working handler to Senior Vice President reporting directly to Fred Smith, founder and CEO Bill Fraine became CEO of ZOHO, a dot-com, and over the yeras has held leadership positions with many top companies.  Today Bill has a family of four girls with his wife Dawn and lives in Gibsonville NC. Bill holds the position of Chief Operating Officer for XPO Logistics - Supply Chain in High Point, NC where he leads a team of over 20,000 employees servicing fortune 50 companies. His life was changed at the age of 42 when in 2001 he came face to face with his Lord and Savior and gave his life over to Jesus. Q&amp;A* Tell Us About How You Became a Christian I grew up Catholic in Boston, with 8 siblings, regularly attending church but didn't have a relationship and wasn't filled with the Spirit. I joined Fedex when it was just starting out.  I worked my way up from washing trucks to being VP and reporting to the founder Fred Smith.  I got married, had 2 kids, and then got divorced. I then met my current wife Dawn.  Neither of us had faith in our lives.  We tried to get pregnant and couldn't but then Dawn did get pregnant but we lost the child soon after birth and found out Dawn could not have children. Later when I was 43 years old we were at a bar in Seaside, FL at a time when Dawn was seeking something and was praying the Prayer of Jabez for 30 days.  A woman, we now called Patty the angel, came and sat down and started talking about Jesus with Dawn.  They later found out Patty didn't normally go to bars and was going through a very hard time in her life, but God told her to go into that bar and tell someone about Jesus. Dawn was changed forever and knew the Lord immediately.  I was not convinced, but that night I picked up a Bible and opened it up to Psalm 91:1 "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" - I immediately knew who Jesus was and that He was real to me.  After that, I couldn't get enough of the Bible.  It all talked to me. The next day we both said to each other "how could we have been so blind?". Tell Us About Living Out Your Faith in Your Work I was the one holdout among the leadership team at Fedex.  They were always praying at meetings, about business plans, etc, and I didn't understand that or participate. Later when I got saved and I told them they were very excited. When I got saved, I understood my role.  I couldn't become a minister at work but I could show the Lord. I pray for everything.  My business plans.  My employees.  The banks I work with. I don't hide that I'm a Christian, but everyone knows it's not something they need to worry about. I realize how important my role with the Lord is at work.  It's to be His ambassador.  Everywhere I've worked since being saved, I've led others to be saved, but not because of me preaching to him.
