2016 Destiny Is Calling Spring Issue

Spring Issue

SWAMP stands for Saints With A Mission And A Purpose. The 

ministry that God has given my husband and I is based on The 

Great Commission Matthew 28:19-20 and Acts 1:8 (NLT) 8But 

you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And 

you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in 

Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the 

earth.” 

God has given us a tool to lift the name of Jesus, spread the gospel 

and to be a witness for Jesus and to tell of his goodness that others 

may believe in Him. That is the main purpose of this magazine. 

It is our prayer that Saints With A Mission And A Purpose Magazine 

reach as many people all over the world as it can. This magazine 

will go places that my husband and I have never been. 

In our magazine, we share testimonies, Christian Education and 

much more with our readers. 

We advertise church functions, and various styles of Gospel music 

to include: Quartet, Contemporary, Holy Hip Hop / Rap. Holy Rock, Country Gospel as, well as Gospel Dj’s. 

There are so many more styles of gospel music we have not advertised yet. (We are open to all styles of Gospel Music.) 

We love working with Gospel Television Networks, Gospel Award Shows, Concerts within the body of Christ and 

Gospel Radio Stations. We also advertise different businesses, schools, and Political Leaders. 

Did I mention that we don't charge for ads? We only ask for a generous love gift of any amount to cover the cost of 

printing physical copies of the magazine and to maintain our website. Our goal is to also make advertisement affordable 

for everyone who wants to lift up the name of Jesus.

The concept of naming people, places and things during biblical times involved being aware of what you were looking 

at whenever you named something. The name would express or reveal its nature, characteristic or individual feature. 

Let's briefly discuss the name and life of Joshua; Joshua was first mentioned shortly, after Moses led his people, Israel 

out of Egypt. Joshua was elected by Moses to defend Israel against the attack of Amalek at Rephidim Exodus 17:13 

Before the Lord said to Moses send men to explore and scout out the land of Canaan, which I gave to the Israelites 

Numbers 13:1-2. Joshua’s original name was Hoshea Numbers 13:16. His original name meant "May Yahweh Save". 

His parents named him this because they had faith that God would keep His promise and deliver His people. 

Gen15:24-25. Joshua was the first born of the tribe of Ephraim. Joshua life was in danger the very night of the Passover 

but he was covered by the blood of the Lamb.. Ex 11-12 Moses, God’s servant and prophet changed the son of 

Nun’s name from Hoshea to Joshua meaning, “Yahweh Saves”. Hoshea’s “destiny was calling” but he would have to 

answer to his new name. Moses knew that Joshua would be a future leader. Joshua’s new name had a greater meaning 

and purpose. Now, as Joshua, he would have to trust God for himself. All of his future victories would be depending on 

God fighting his battles for him. 

Joshua Part 1 The Prophetic Voice 

“What We Must Remember In This Season” 

1.The real meaning of who you are is revealed through the one who created you. (Essence) 

2.In this season, you must answer to only who Jesus says you are. 

3.There is always purpose attached to the name God calls you by. 

4.You must understand that men like to network but, God creates divine connections and works through them. (Moses 

and Joshua). Ask God who is your divine connection / mentor. 

5.You must trust the plans that God has for your life. You must understand that God is a God that cannot lie (Take Him 

at His Word). Whatever He tells you to do, do it even when you don’t understand. You don’t always have to have all the 

answers. ( 5 is the number of Grace ) 

6.You must obey God and have faith in Him. 

(6 is the number of sin. Lean not to your on understanding.) 

7.The number 7 stands for completeness. God will fulfill His purpose in your life! 

THIS YEAR YOU WILL SEE GREATER THINGS 

HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE! 

Exodus 24:12-13New Living Translation (NLT) 12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain. 

Stay there, and I will give you the tablets of stone on which I have inscribed the instructions and commands so you can 

teach the people.” 13 So Moses and his assistant Joshua set out, and Moses climbed up the mountain of God. 

In verse 13 it tells us that Joshua was the only person allowed to accompany Moses on the mountain of God. Remember 

Joshua wasn’t called Joshua until Numbers 13:8, 16. Even though you may not have had your name changed yet, God 

is still in the process of using you. People are always trying to define you by what they call you. Maybe you call yourself 

a dope boy, maybe you call yourself a Boss B*. Everywhere you go people address you as, “Crip” because you 

have a handicap, or how about nicknames like Lil Preacher, or Bishop and you feel you are far from being what people 

are calling you. This is ok because when you start learning the ways of God, 

the next time “People Hear About You”, you will be called a servant of the Lord (JEHOVAH). His spirit will bear witness 

that you are truly His servant. You may not be where you should be, you many not be where you like to be, but at 

least, you are not where you were. Joshua didn’t go all the way to the top of the mountain like Moses, but at least, he 

was on the mountain. God, is going to separate you from some people for a period of time, they may not necessarily be 

negative people. So, when they don’t understand why you can’t spend time with them like you use to; like my Pastor 

Kevin Diggs says, Just tell them “I’m about to bust a move”. I hear my “destiny is calling me”. People can’t always go 

where you are going and you can’t always go where they're going either see Ex.24:14. Moses went to the very top 

(summit, peak) of the mountain into the cloud see Exodus 24:15.In this season of your life, God (ELOHIM) is calling 

you higher. But you must be willing to accept the call and make the climb. We make that climb by praying without ceasing 

and living a life of worship that is holy, and acceptable to God. Your promotion starts the minute you strive to do 

these things by taking on the mindset of Jesus. The minute you say, “Yes Lord I will do all that you have told me to do” 

and mean it. I encourage everyone of my brothers and sisters today including myself to, 

“Rise Up And Make The Climb”!

The reason why something is done or used. To make it plain there is a purpose why you 

are reading this. There is a purpose God birthed you into creation. There is a purpose for 

everything according to the bible. 

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Ecclesiastes 

3:1 

We are all under heaven and we are alive for a season to fulfill a purpose. Think of it this way if you will, the eco system 

was created for the purpose of Energy, water, nitrogen and soil minerals are other essential abiotic components. 

The energy that flows through ecosystems is obtained primarily from the sun. It generally enters the system through 

photosynthesis, a process that also captures carbon from the atmosphere. 

Not to get all scientific on you but I would like to talk about the other son. We live in a natural state that is sustained for 

the purpose of reproduction. But spiritually we need to understand our purpose to be reconciled to the God that created 

all things for his glory. 

The bible makes it crystal clear that God is a God of purpose. 1 Kings 5:5 said And, behold, I purpose to build an house 

unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon 

thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name. 

We see from that verse of scripture the purpose of a temple in the name of the Lord God. The purpose of King David 

and his son and future king Solomon. It is sad that when people come into the faith that some fail to seek the purpose 

why God birthed them and gave them the gifts they have. So often people accept salvation from Jesus Christ but are not 

converted into the faith through the knowledge and understanding of who Jesus Christ is. When you understand his 

purpose, you can understand your purpose for him. 

The thing we must understand is that when it is purposed by God nothing can stop it. Isaiah 14:27 said For the LORD 

of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? 

I can say without any doubt that you was born for a purpose without even ever knowing you or meeting you. You are 

living proof of grace and the very fact that you are alive is proof positive that you are purposed to do something for 

God. It was purposed for me to meet Prophet Pam online and to help her with her ministry. And by accepting this purpose 

she has granted me a platform through the magazine to speak to you about your purpose. 

Comfort yourself with these word from Acts 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for 

this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the 

which I will appear unto thee; Your purpose for God is the greatest purpose you will ever be blessed with. 

When you discover and perfect that purpose like the eco system you will be a part of the body of believers working 

with God reconciling man unto himself. You are a person of purpose and the sooner you understand that the better this 

journey will be for you. I have completed my purpose by writing this to you and I pray that you are encouraged and 

inspired to seek out your purpose.

Am I Prepared For Adulthood 

Vincent A. Larry ( 931) 645-9596 http:/www.reocministries.com 

Living Word International Ministries 

A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], But the 

LORD directs his steps and establishes them. Proverbs 16:9 Amplified 

Bible 

Every teen goes through a phase 

in their life where they feel uncertain 

about becoming a man 

or becoming a woman. The 

questions that take place in their 

minds are “am I ready for adulthood”. 

"Can I handle the responsibilities 

of being and adult"? 

"Will I let those down who 

raised me"? 

I've found that wisdom is the 

key. We can do everything that 

man can offer to prepare us for 

life, but without the wisdom of 

God, there is no maturity only what perceives to be the way of life. 

So positive thoughts are the keys to growing into adulthood, but allowing 

God to direct your planning is the power that so many lacks. 

I grasped this at a young age. I wasn't scared of moving from home. I had 

a sense of preparedness because of my faith in God leading my life and 

keeping me safe. 

Like so many teens that grew up in a poor society with a single parent, 

there are always obstacles. I grew up with a mom who was not only single 

she was also mentally ill this was my faith builder as a teen for the 

work of God to keep me safe in what was my hardest part of growing up. 

If you are a teen reading this know that the way you dress, the color of 

your hair, neither the friends that you possess will identify your character. 

Ponder on how God has kept you safe through your hardest time of 

life thus far. 

Trust in him that for every move you make he will be with you. God 

corrects our mistakes don't be afraid to make them. We all have made 

mistakes ask your parents. 

I'm pretty sure they can share some of the mistakes they have made, but 

life went on. Don't let starting a career or paying bills frighten you. These 

are small things that come with ease if you allow God to grow within 

you. So from now on know that you’re ready for whatever life has to 

offer God has a plan for you. 

It doesn't need preparation just receiving. 

Have you ever had a dream. Some people 

say life is a dream. Sometimes people have 

lofty dreams and ambitions set up through 

what they've dealt with in life. Life experiences 

tend to shape us and mode us and at 

times..... Cause us to escape into another 

reality. But the dream I want to focus on is 

the dream God gives us. 

God may give you a dream in small increments. 

But when God gives you a dream, 

rest assured that it shall come to pass. The 

thing about a dream is that unlike sleep 

dreams, it has a tendency to keep us up at 

night. A dream will make us change directions 

in life. Dreams also will make you 

take a closer look at yourself. Is my dream 

obtainable. Can it become a reality. Do I 

have what it take. But when The Lord 

places a dream inside of you, there is no 

need to doubt. There is no need to stress 

and there is certainly no need to try to 

make it happen. 

It will happen. Look at Joseph. He had a 

dream given to him by God. Even though, 

at first it seemed unlikely that it would 

have been fulfilled. Every obstacle, false 

accusation, betrayal and set back keep him 

on course towards his dream. His destiny. 

Because when God ordains a thing it will 

happen. 

No matter how it looks at the time I invite 

you to trust in God. His timing, His planning 

and His ultimate goal. The Word of 

God says that The Lord establishes the 

ending before the beginning. This means 

that God already has set your expected end 

in place. 

He is God and God alone. No devil in hell 

or person on earth can derail the dream 

God has given to you. Only in trusting the 

One who establishes the ending from the 

beginning can you stay on course for your 

dream. Your God given destiny. Don't 

despise the process. It's the process that 

prepares you for your destination. Your 

God given dream. Don't lose your 

dream !!!!!!!!! 

By Minister, Freddie Hodrick

Hi, my name is Christian Moody I'm 13 

years old. My life has been nothing but 

topsy-turvy I’ve had good times and bad 

times. My life has been a spiritual battle 

since the day I was born. I've been through a 

lot. I was born prematurely and almost died. 

My mom left my dad when I was 3. When I 

was 5, my mom left her boyfriend, we 

moved to Prattville Alabama. 

When I was 7, my mom's boyfriend had a 

stroke and was put into a special home then 

after that, we moved to Pensacola Florida. 

When I was 8, my mom died of a drug overdose. 

My grandmamma died. Then my uncle 

got custody of me and died when I was 

9. 

Then my uncle got custody of me. Less than 

a year later he died so did two more of my 

family members. After that at the age 10, 

my brother and his girlfriend got custody of 

me, she is like a mom to me even though 

they broke up and I’ve been going back and 

forth. This past year, I was recently baptized. 

I felt amazing! For the past two years, 

I’ve been going to Journey Church in Prattville 

Alabama. Since I've lived in Montgomery, 

I couldn’t ask for a better church. 

I also couldn’t ask for a better family they might not be blood but by God, we are all family. As I continue, to go 

through tough times in my life I think about three things. I think about Philippians 4:6.It says, don’t worry about anything, 

instead, pray about everything; tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. 

The second thing I think about is Genesis 50:20.The devil plans evil for you, but God uses those same plans of evil 

against you not to harm you but for your good and so that you can help others. 

The third thing I like about is what our pastor said. 

He said that life is like a race no matter how your life starts good or bad you can always finish out your life well and 

that's exactly what, I'm going to do! You might think I'm crazy, but God speaks to me. He tells me what's going to 

happen, and it happens no matter if it is almost impossible. He also tells 

me everything will be ok. 

To hear God just listen, Just pray even if it’s in your head he will respond 

and if not you need Jesus in the center of your life. So ask yourself. 

Is Jesus the center of my life? Remember God always follow 

through with his plan. 

If I'm 13 and have gone through and experienced all these things and 

survived you will too. When I'm older, I want to pastor people and help 

My Testimony 

by 

Christina Moody

James 5:16 

Therefore confess 

your sins to 

each other and 

pray for each 

other so that you 

may be healed. 

The prayer of a 

righteous person 

is powerful and 

effective. Experiencing 

the power 

of God through 

prayer. A place for the saints to meet together literately 

anytime of day and any place in the world for 

prayer. Our prayer is one of our most effective tools 

of spiritual warfare, but it is--in my opinion--very 

under used. The purpose of this group is to Pray 

without ceasing. My hope is that it will be an encouragement 

to saints that lives will be changed and souls 

will be saved. I encourage YOU to post your prayers 

and the concerns of your heart to allow us to pray for 

you and with you. If there is something that you want 

to pray about but don't want to post feel free to in 

box me and let me know how much discretion to use. 

God bless You. Let's pray! Check us out on facebook 

at The Praying Place. Summit your prayer 

request, give us your praise report or become a 

prayer partner. May the Lord keep you and bless you

Mrs. Lucille McCall lives in Hayneville, Alabama. Where she 

use to walk 2.3miles three times out of a week until, one day 

she noticed that her left hip began to give her terrible pain. 

Mrs. McCall tried to bear with the pain as best she could. Fortunately, 

she sought out medical attention by visiting UAB 

Medical Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. Where the doctor 

told her that a hip replacement was needed quickly. The procedure 

was done that prior month. After her operation, she was 

forced to walk with a cane for 7yrs, until one night someone 

had invited her to a church service in Greenville, Alabama. 

S.V.W.C is the name of the church. Where powerful prayer 

warriors and a Holy Ghost filled Preacher by the name of 

Bishop Holmes prayed for Lucile. He took the cane out of her 

hand. He began telling her to walk towards him without it and 

she did. Mrs. Lucile, expecting a miracle. Knew that this was a 

miracle from Jesus. Later after that service sadly to say the 

pain started to come back once again. So this time, she called 

on prayer warriors at her church Southview Worship Center 

under the leadership of Pastor Karl Bell & Co-Pastor Helen 

Bell. 

What Mrs. McCall didn't know was that Bishop Holmes would 

be invited to her church the next week for a Healing and Deliverance 

Service. Now how many of us know that what the enemy 

meant for evil! God will turn it around and make it for our 

good!

God Is 

Able Band 

Here we see Emmanuel Neequaye and His Pastor and 

his Pastor Dr. Lawrence Tetteh. You can see the bond 

that he and his pastor has just from the photo of them both as they 

embrace with a smile for SWAMP MAGAZINE. Emmanuel is the 

leader of a band called "God is Able". The members of the band are 

Seth, Raymond, Eli Ray and Kwaku they all live in Accra Ghana. 

They have worshiped in many places including, the Methodist Church 

Crusade at the Independence Square. In the pictures, you can see Isaac 

laid back on the drums and Emmanuel in the white shirt focusing and 

meditating before it's time to worship. 

Emmanuel plays four instruments and has taught others how to play 

various instruments. He is a true man of God. I have spoken with him 

many times. I have heard a man after God's own heart. He says he 

wishes that everyone would dedicate their gifts back to God, but he 

realizes that not everyone will. I have also spoken with members of 

the band and they are all full of the word of God. The Holy Spirit 

walks with them. They are all very encouraging. I knew they were my 

brothers in Christ. 

The way they worship in Ghana is unexplainable though there are 

worshippers here in the U.S. Their worship, honestly took me to another 

place in Jesus. To my surprise even though I have always known 

that I have had the gift of interpretation. Hearing them worship and 

speak was great confirmation for me that the gift of interpretation was 

working in me for sure. It was amazing how I could understand their 

language even though I had never formally been taught to speak their 

language. Emmanuel would laugh and say how do you know what we 

are saying? Instead of answering the question we would both laugh 

together knowing very well that it was that Holy Spirit. 

In the pictures, you can also see Emmanuel and Kwaku at one of the 

best hotels in Accra Ghana called the Fiesta Hotel. The hotel looks 

very nice. Everything looks gold with lots of colors. People were dining 

and enjoying themselves in the background. The band doesn't just 

worship, but they also minister the word of God. I know that their 

Pastor Dr. Lawrence Tetteh and their families are very pleased with 

them. They are truly Saints With A Mission And A Purpose!

Who said the Kente Clothe I wear lacks class and isn’t suited for 

the occasion? 

Does pinned-striped suits, or denim jeans give my people representation? 

Who said the music I listen is too harsh; vibrating the atmosphere 

around? Does classical music, or opera notes tell of the 

struggles to which I’m bound? 

Who said my hair should be groomed and shaped to keep 

my Blackness deep inside? 

I’m an Afrikan, child of God, and my mane I’ll wear with pride. 

Who said I was incapable, as they scorn and knit their brow? 

Try as you will to fight me down I’ll say, “Hallelu-Jah anyhow!” 

I’m a man who respects but a few 

Who has not many role-models I can look up to, 

Who won’t believe the lies they portray of me 

Rather, on the foundations instilled within me. 

There is a Rock in me that dictates who I am 

And if I look, seem, act differently… 

That’s because I AM! 

Your styles are not mine; your music, your ways 

Still, I know that I’m a man, a strong Afrikan anyway! 

A Black man who refuses to be a statistic for the KKK 

People who blind and deceive with their sly and cunning ways; 

A Black man who believes in those who’ve encouraged his fight 

And respects them as more than just “skins” for a night. A Black man who knows the history of who I really am 

Not dressed up one month out of the year, but actually don’t give a 

damn! 

A Black man who has seen his fore-parents struggle, and sacrifice 

To know better than to take for granted the opportunities in life. 

These opportunities were not given to me 

They were bought with a price, more valuable than money... 

Who will fight to keep the name my ancestors died to save 

Rather than to hang on to –with pride—the name I got as a slave. 

Within myself, I know who I am 

Above all and most importantly, I am God’s creation! 

And just because I do not have a European-look, or style 

Means nothing to me! It separates me, from the pile. 

I’m a Black man who’s running with the baton, which I was 

handed in this relay 

So that my history and my roots will NEVER decay 

A Black man with the attitude as if just to say: 

“What give you the right? Who are you, anyway?”

DESTINY 

Jeffery Mathews Interim Pastor New Harvest Community Church Montgomery, Alabama 

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I truly believe that the Children of God are being 

called to do the impossible. What this is going to require is for the believer to know who it 

is that is doing the calling. When Jesus called Peter to walk on the water(Matt.14:29) he was 

called to do something that was impossible in the natural. What this will also demonstrate is the 

significance of keeping your eyes on the one who called. As the world continue to fall deeper 

into darkness, God is calling his people to a deeper relationship with him. As we draw nearer to 

him through his word I believe we will answer his call to destiny. I believe God is calling his 

children to destiny that is beyond human understanding that will cause them to soar as eagles. 

God is doing this to show the world that not only is all things possible with him, but also with 

his people. Child of God, in the midst of all the chaos that might have come your way, I believe 

a calling and destiny is wrapped in the chaos. In this calling in the natural it may appear to be impossible with what you 

may be facing. Let me encourage you, don’t be in doubt that it is not your turn. I declare that it is your turn and your 

time. In this season of Sweet 16 (2016) I’m believing God that many will answer the call from the greatest caller I know. 

My prayer for you my brother and my sister is not to miss your call in this season. I truly believe that those who answer 

the call shall bring forth new creations, new discoveries, new ideas for this generation. I believe by faith they shall give 

new meaning to destiny that will give glory to God. 

Faith That Dominated Baghdad is true story of an American soldier, Chief Warrant Officer 

and Pastor who would not allow the circumstances of war dictate who God has 

called him to be. This book is about understanding the power of faith and that if you learn to live by faith that you can 

dominate every storm in your life no matter the size of the giant. The bloody war of was a huge giant that stood before 

my purpose and would bring major storms my way to cut off my destiny to cause me to give in and quit. In this book 

you will find out how faith when it is in its upright position can tear downs walls of intimidation, fear, and hardship and 

guide you to the direction that you desire to go when you walk in faith and say only what the word of God says. I discovered 

by living by faith while major attacks are going on in your life and even at war how you can through the words out 

of your mouth bring you the results that can only come when you believe what you say to come to pass. There are many 

that hear the gospel preached on Sunday mornings that are not getting the results that they deserve being a child of the 

most high God and consider themselves a Christian. What we will discover as I witnessed while serving my country 

and preaching the gospel with power at Baghdad Iraq bringing souls to Christ under heavy fire attacks, that the gospel 

can not profit you when it is not mixed with faith. Witness the power of faith as it shuts down an enemy rocket that lands 

in my sleeping quarters but falls short because faith was in the house. BUY Faith That Dominated Baghdad for yourself

Jeffery Mathews 

I am a native of Alexander City, Alabama who started writing poetry at the age of 20. At age 27 I began to 

publish my poetry. The first work published was in 2005 which was the beginning of a series of collections of poems. 

The titles are A Collection of Thoughts, followed up with Heart Soul and Rhyme in 2007, followed by Simply Runas 

which was published in 2010. Most recently I have released a new book Verses Of Pain and Love. In this book I combine 

three different genres of writing which is a collection of poetry, two plays and 10 essays on various subjects. It is 

these works mentioned above that I am very proud and grateful for God using my gift as poet, playwright, and essayist 

to glorify him. My life is full of many examples that show me the awesome power of our Lord Jesus 

Christ. Being a Christian, I try to let the Lord use me and guide me through my every day journey. It is 

through him that I have been so blessed in life to have accomplished many of my life’s biggest dreams. My 

life is no different than many others who call on the lord and are blessed. It is through our Lord Jesus Christ 

that I try to use my talents that he gave me to express to others the good news which is the gospel of Jesus 

Christ

This biography is an inspirational read for anyone that questions what God can and will do in someone's life. Apostle 

Jermaine unveils his personal walk through his sinful life into his spiritual relationship with God. Not many people 

have the confidence to share such private information to the world. I encourage anyone that isn't familiar with God or 

is in a place where they question what God can and will do for them to purchase this book. 

Great!!!!!

A Soul-stirring account of God's Divine Intervention! This book is a must read not only for our young black males but 

for everyone who struggle with the myth that our situations and circumstances are our destiny. This book made me 

weep for the troubled young man and had me praising God for his deliverance. This is an excellent book to use as a 

discussion group tool for a men's ministry or for an auxiliary geared towards mentoring teens and young adults. 

Hear what the Author of Closet Conversation Julie Mitchell had to say about "From the Prison to the Pulpit" I just finished 

reading this book!!! My God is so awesome!!!!! My spirit is so uplifted to know that God is able to take you 

From The Prison To The Pulpit. Meeting this author via book and a divine connection after releasing my book Closet 

Conversations just about a month ago bears witness to my "journey as an employee" for over 25 years in prisons all 

over the United States. It is a must read. His book and mine should sit side by side - two different perspectives- but the 

last pages read the same- allow God to use what the enemy meant to harm you - use that very thing for spiritual warfare. 

I'm so proud he has allowed God to use him and as a retired employee of this institution I concur with what God is 

able to do- exceedingly abundantly more than one can ask or think. March 19,2016

Saints With A Mission And A Purpose

Ministry Introduction 

Approach: 

My Vision: To see the kingdom of God demonstrated in all over India, the will of God being out worked and His church 

to become known as a House of Prayer for all Nations (Lk. 11:20 & Mk.11:17) 

The cry for bibles is great. A bible for the Himalayan believers is the most prized possession. Indeed, the bible is the only 

book in the universe that tells us how our sins can be forgiven and the name we must call upon for salvation. It is our 

light in darkness, our comfort in sorrow and our guide in following Christ. It is our courage, strengthen and everything 

we will ever need to safely reach out Father’s home. If the bible is all this, what then is the fate or more than 99% will 

never experience God’s love for them because they have never hear of Jesus or seen a Bible. Do not forget, each time 

when you give a Bible, you actually provide the opportunity for people to go to heaven and make the church in India 

strong. 

It is God’s grace who laid this greatest burden upon me to mobilize churches and evangelize untold souls. Since last 

many years I have been carrying out two types of ministries, one is evangelism with bible vision, another one is church 

mobilization on intercessory prayer. 

We know that in our nation alone there are millions who have never heard the name of Jesus, the God of Bible, even 

once, simply because we have failed to share or give a bible to a neighbor. Hence, people live in stark superstition, and 

idolatry prevails with millions of gods and goddesses bring worshiped the masses. It is God’s will that the people who sit 

in darkness may be brought in to His light. Only His Word can bring light in the midst of those who sit in darkness. 

Apostle Paul was given a heavenly vision; God said: “I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from 

darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God” (Acts 26:18) 

►Prayer is not just going to God with a shopping list or a magic formula to get blessings from God or get one out of 

trouble. This may sound strange but true. True prayer is praying with God’s eternal purpose in mind. 

► Intercession is a sacred and blessed ministry for every believer. To Jesus, “prayer was not just a part of His life, but 

prayer was His life”. 

Today in the churches there are almost all facilities are available, if there is a lack that is prayer, especially intercessory 

prayer. I believe that nothing is impossible to God, but impossible to Christian if they do not make intercession to win the 

lost. 

We can win the nation for Christ if we have broken heart, bended knees and wet eyes. Here is a good example we have 

in the bible when God took decision to destroy Israelites. “I have seen 

these people, the Lord said to Moses, and they are stiff-necked people. Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn 

against them and that I may destroy them.” (Exodus 32:9) 

But to hearing this, Moses’ heart broke down and he made intercession before God, when God remained on His decision 

to destroy them then finally Moses took terrible risk, “ But now, please forgive their sin-but if not, then blot me out of the 

book you have written”. Think little about his risk as per Old Testament system, if really God would have killed him. As 

He did with Uzziah, Uzzah etc….It could be happened but he took great risk, and then there is clear testimony, “So he 

said he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in breach before him to keep his wrath from destroying 

them”. (Ps.106:23) 

If today we see nation Israel on the earth that is only because of Moses intercessory prayer. Otherwise it would have been 

destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah. Today God is looking for someone like Moses to stand in the gap so that many can 

know Him true and living God and could have eternal life in Jesus Christ. “I looked for a man among them who would 

build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found 

none”. (Ezek.22:30) 

Bible does not say that God looked for someone to join a prayer meeting for whatever reason, but He looked for someone 

who would stand in the gap on behalf of the nation. 

Intercessory prayer is the only prayer that can change the heart and mind of God.



Who can believe this? Yet, this is again a great revelation from God’s word. Nothing in this world can change the mind of 

God once God decides to act, especially, in judgment. 

At the time of final judgment many will go to hell if we do not intercede for them, because with prayer all things are possible 

to God’s children. 

We can get a glimpse of the burden Jesus carried in prayer in His high-priestly prayer. In John 17:1-4, Jesus prayed that 

“they might know thee as the only true and living God”. His interest was His Father’s interest; the nations of the world. 

Can we think of any better content in prayer when we think of the lost in a nation like India filled with her millions of 

gods and goddesses! No matter where we go in this nation of India we cannot but see a temple not just few temples but 

numerous temples on every nook and corner. 

When Paul stood in the streets of Athens, he lamented, here is a “city filled with idols”, but if Paul were to visit India, he 

would shout saying: here is a Nation filled with idols. If so, what should be our pray? 

That’s why I emphasize to mobilize churches because church needs to know the difference between general prayer and 

intercession. 

Almost, Christian’s prayer revolves to themselves, like my family, my job, my relatives, my daily bread healing etc. It is 

not harm to have such kinds of prayer, but remember if we have always such prayer attitude then Jesus says to such kinds 

of prayer, Non-Christian are doing much better than you. What to eat, what to drink, what to drive, what to cloths etc. 

(Matt.6:31-32). We see prophets, Jesus and His disciples never prayed in this manner but they prayed for the kingdom. 

Therefore, my motto is to mobilize church so that they can stand in the gap to win the lost. 

►Secondly evangelism with bible vision, bible for the bible-less homes because only god’s word can change the heart of 

men and women. 

A PRICE TO PAY: 

“Lord opened the eyes of the King of England” was the last prayer of William Tyndale (1492-1536), who was strangled 

and burnt at the stake for translating the Bible to English. His vision was to equip every farmer in England with a copy of 

the bible. Due to his work and sacrifice the word of God became available not only to the farmers in England but to us 

too- all because William Tyndale was willing to pay for it with his life. Similarly, every Christian in India and the Church 

as a whole need to pay a price in order to reach the Word of God to millions of homes in India. 

Bible Vision: 

Let's start by asking two simple questions: 

Who are the people most likely to possess a bible? 

Simple answer: CHRISTIAN 

Is the Bible meant only for Christian? Simple answer: No. 

India is a country of over 1.2 billion people and Christians comprise a paltry 4% of this massive population. Assuming 

every Christian in India possesses a copy of the bible, this still leaves over a billion people without a copy of God’s precious, 

life-changing Word in their home! Do these people deserve the Word of god? 

If yes, who will take up the challenge of reaching those unreached with a copy of the bible? We know that in our nation 

alone there are millions who have never heard the name of Jesus, the God of the Bible, even once, simply because we 

have failed to share or give a bible to a neighbor. Hence, people live in stark superstition, and idolatry prevails with millions 

of gods and goddesses being worshiped by the masses. It is God’s will that the people who sit in darkness may be 

brought into His light. Only His Word can bring light in the midst of those who sit in darkness. Apostle Paul was given a 

heavenly vision; God said: “I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from 

the power of Satan to God” (Acts 26:18) 

A question arise before every evangelist if he gives bible to the non-Christian, Will they read it or understand it? To tell 

you the truth making them read the bible is not in our hands, as only God can make them read, hence it is the work of the 

Holy Spirit. Of course we could pray (Intercessory Prayer) and do whatever follow-up possible, but it is again the Holy 

Spirit who can make them read and also helps them to understand. Think of this: “when we do what we can, God will do 

what we cannot”. Our duty is first to get the Word (Bible) into their homes and let not the enemy discourage us otherwise. 

Of course, this is the greatest burden God laid upon my heart to reach the unreached with Word of God and since 

long time I have been serving my Lord.



Lastly, I can say that this is the burden God has given me for the nation and this way I have been serving my Lord in this 

dire needed land where millions are still waiting to hear gospel. 

To save lost soul is God’s great concern, but to do what God tells us to do should be our privilege. And when we do what 

we can, God will do what we cannot do. 

Now let India be filled with the knowledge and glory of the only true and living God, the God of the Bible. 

In the service of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Mind On The Mission Pastors and 

Leaders Organization was organized in 

2013 as a mandate from God given to Pastor 

Celeste M. Crenshaw. The word from God was 

to bring the Pastors and Leaders together on 

one accord no matter the color, gender or denomination. 

Crenshaw said she believes God is 

getting us ready for another day of Pentecost, 

where He is going to pour out His spirit up on 

all flesh and His sons, and daughters are going 

to prophesy. The word from the Lord was sent to 

remind the Pastors and Leaders that the only mission we have in this earth as Pastors 

and Leaders, is to win souls for the Kingdom of God. There is so much fighting 

in the physical church on today until the lost can't see the spiritual church. We are 

the ones who are supposed to be sitting the example of who our great Savior is. We 

have too much jealousy, envy and, strife in the churches on today, and the lost is 

turned: off by how we treat one another as Christians. Christ is not divided so therefore 

the church should not be as well. The organization is called Mind on the Mission 

because it means exactly what its slogan says. It’s time we get our mind back on the, 

Mission, and get the, Mission back on our minds.

Davis Day is an Evangelist 

that goes out into the world 

every day to minister. He 

doesn't always minister the 

same way, but the word he 

proclaims is always the 

same. I have never seen him 

water down the gospel or 

the word of God just because 

someone didn't like 

what he was saying. In today's time in Montgomery Alabama, I 

have not seen a more faithful and bold Evangelist as he is. 

People have tried to say all kinds of hateful things about David 

Day that are not true. Such as, he is mean, he is not a man that 

reflex Jesus at all and he judges people too much. David is a 

man after God owns heart. He doesn't get paid to stand in the 

hot sun or the cold winds every day. David is doing what most 

of us are failing to do, and that is doing the work of and Evangelist. 

Things have not been easy for David, he has been cursed 

out, hit at, cars have tried to run him over. He has almost if not 

have gone to jail and one winter the Abortion Clinic Downtown 

on South Perry St. turned the cold water sprinklers on us all like 

we were dogs. Through it all, he still has the courage to stand on 

the word of God, encourage other Christians, share the Love of 

Jesus Christ, and defend life. To God be the Glory for what God 

is doing in David's life. He is an effective Christian many people 

including babies have been saved and have given their life 

to Jesus because of how the Holy Spirit uses him. David goes 

wherever God sends him he is defiantly not a Jonah he is more 

of a Joshua bold and courageous. I've seen him in many places 

including black neighborhoods some of us call them projects, 

the bottom or the trap. I wrote this article because David is truly 

a Saint With A Mission And A Purpose. 

My video of a man forcing his girlfriend to get an abortion was 

taken down from Youtube & Vimeo for violation, saying it is 

harassing. The proaborts are fighting to keep the truth silent, 

that they are not PRO-CHOICE but PRO-DEATH. Amazing 

that with all the filth free to watch on YouTube & Vimeo, what 

is unacceptable.

Talk Radio Show, WKRP Live hosted by Cedric Miller. Bi weekly show, airing on Thursday on BBS Radio Station 1, 

at 10:00am PT streamed live and providing Free show podcast about performing Arts, Health lifestyle children 

and Family 

Alana is a native of Ft. Deposit Alabama where she began her Music Ministry at the age of 15, she has always loved to 

sing and write. She began to play at Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Calhoun Alabama. Where she was used 

by God with a special anointing with her talented voice and advanced playing skills from piano to organ. She knew that 

Jesus was calling her to play for His Glory and not for the world. At a young age, her parents Mr. James Herbert and 

Mrs. Loretta Herbert knew their daughter had a call on her life to the Music Ministry. They encouraged her to let Jesus 

be the center of her life. 

So she began to play for Macedonia 

Baptist church. It 

was by the grace of God she says 

being young and play- 

ing for two churches was truly 

God's blessing. To be 

used by Jesus to help minister the 

gospel through music 

under the anointing. I'm so thankful 

for the opportunities 

that Jesus has given me. I just 

praise Him and magnify 

His name! 

Now as she has grown 

into her ministry she is also a 

prayer warrior and a 

part of the praise team at Southview 

Worship Center. 

Her dedication to the gospel is 

truly mind blowing. 

When it's of God she is there, 

without a doubt. I asked 

her how she juggle her career? 

While being a wife and 

mother of three boys whom names 

are Quentin, Micah, and 

Samuel. Her reply was that I can 

do all things through 

Christ who strengthens me. Alana 

also shared with me how she had a near-death experience as a child at the age of 10yrs old. While at school she fainted in 

class and was rushed to the hospital. After being rushed to the hospital. The doctor pronounced that Alana was in a coma. 

Alana stayed in a coma for three days. Alana taking the time to praises God, by saying but Jesus! Though she had been in 

a coma for those three days the power of Jesus Christ brought her through that coma. Her love for Jesus grew even more 

for people who have been sick with a life-threatening illness because she knows what the power of prayer and speaking 

life into any situation no matter how bad or dark it seems God can see that person through. When God's light shines into 

your life He will make everything alright. 

Now Alana has an appearance on Trinity Broadcasting network in March. She is so excited about performing live. After 

her appearance on TBN Alana, says that she will be working on her new cd. She praises God for that opportunity because 

it is also her first cd. She will also be appearing in a commercial for WkrpliveRadio. 

God is truly opening doors for this next up and coming artist and prayer warrior. Her closing remarks to me were, "If 

anyone has a dream or desire to be a blessing in life, you must be willing to do God's will". “Be humble because in time 

He will exalt you and give you your heart’s desire, so wait and be still even when it seems like nothing is moving in your 

life be still and see the Salvation of the Lord”.

The anointed, melodious, 

soothing sounds of Saxophonist 

Deitrick Lawson Sr. has blessed 

God’s people all through the 

state of Alabama and surrounding 

states. Devoting himself to 

be a gospel musician. God has 

blessed him to be able to share the stage with some of 

the greatest names in the gospel music industry. Such 

names as Leandria Johnson, Wess Morgan, Sunday 

Best’s winner Geoffrey Golden, Angela Spivey and 

Marvin Sapp. 

He has also opened up for gospel artists such as Deitrick 

Haddon, Todd Dulaney, Dewayne Woods, Lawrence 

Flowers, Milton Biggham and Georgia Mass Choir Lisa 

Knowles and the Brown Sisters, and John P. Kee. God 

put in Deitrick’s spirit to think about the elderly on 

Christmas last year, by doing Christmas for Nursing 

Homes Tour. Where he has traveled throughout Alabama, 

and Georgia, to give a little Christmas spirit 

through music. And every since he has obeyed God, and 

done this, he has been blessed abundantly! 

In January, he had the opportunity to minister through 

his instrument, on the world famous Trinity Broadcast 

Network. On February 27, 2016, Deitrick Lawson Sr. did 

his first CD live recording at Capital City Friends of 

Faith Ministries International Church. And God came in 

and used him mightily, for His Glory. Growing up, in 

the small town of Atmore, Alabama. Deitrick had a hard 

life coming up, in school. Being bullied, having low selfesteem 

but God saw something in him that needed to 

come out and bless His people. Deitrick was exposed to 

nothing but gospel music. Mainly that old school choir 

gospel music, so Deitrick had no choice but to get into it 

himself. 

When he got to Harris Street AOH church, his home 

church, he was introduced to worship music, and ever 

since then, Deitrick has become a true worshipper. Deitrick 

was born in Brewton, Alabama. By his amazing 

parents Willie and Bernadette Lawson. He is the middle 

child of two brothers, Joel Lawson and Steven Lawson, 

who also is a multi-talented musician as well, He’s been 

married for 12 years to his lovely wife Cherrie Lawson, 

and two kids they have two children (Deitrick Lawson 

Jr. and Cheriunti Grandison). Deitrick’s number one 

goal for with music ministry that God gave him is to 

save souls through the heavenly sounds of the saxophone. 

That it may be soothing to their soul, and that 

they may seek God for a change in they lives. Also, that 

God is pleased with everything he does in His name.

Have you ever looked at yourself and wondered who 

am I? Society is looking for a "cause" a "marker," an 

"identifier" for this generation. We must offer this to 

them. 

Hope for the Hopeless Tour is more like a campaign 

that is aggressively fighting against hopelessness and 

lack of confidence. With a focus on empowering 

individuals to walk in their potential, purpose, and 

providence. 

If we truly believe and understand who the Messiah 

Yeshua is, and the gift that he has given us and the 

purpose we need to achieve, then no adversity that 

rises against us will defeat us as a people and we will 

prosper. 

I have found out over my many years in ministry that 

hopelessness is a plague no matter your status, ethnic 

background, or family history. 

So my goal and passion are to offer hope to the nations, 

that no matter where you might find yourself, 

no matter what situation you are in, we have to transition, 

and always look towards the Messiah. It behooves 

us to press and fight with every ounce in your 

body because our deliverance depends on it.

you can be put back together, there is so much that 

women face on a daily basis but with God, you can be delivered 

and set free. My vision is simply to help the lost obtain a 

personal relationship with God, but most of all “saved.” Isaiah 

40:31“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their 

strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall 

run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Deacon Hamilton 

St. James Holt Crossing Baptist Church 

Deacon Hamilton just one of the men of God who I admire so much. I admire him for what he does inside and outside 

of the church. He gets up early, every Sunday Morning to make sure people who want to go to church make it to 

church. Even when there are last minute calls he stills try's his very best to get people to church no time no matter what 

side of town they live on. 

Outside the church, he encourages people he comes into contact with every day, even if he is going through his own 

issues in life. What a Deacon. I've never seen him mad, sad or complain about anything. I see him as a humble and gentle 

man. Deacon Hamilton originally from Montgomery, Alabama at the age of 12 was raised, by a friend of his mother 

and father. They taught him about going to church as a young man. 

I asked Mr. Hamilton about his role in the church. He started off by explaining to me in a very simple way that a Deacon 

is a person who is set aside by God to serve the pastor, and the people of God so that God’s work will not go undone. 

I asked Deacon Hamilton if he knew that he would one day be called to be a deacon. He told me that he didn't 

know that he was called to be a deacon, but his pastor saw the calling of a deacon in his life. 

Instead of running from the thought of becoming a deacon, he told me that he prayed about it then he accepted his call 

to serve the pastor and God’s people as a deacon. Because I’ve seen many deacons from many different churches I realize 

that all deacons are not alike. 

Of course, every person character and church are different, but what stands out to me with Deacon Hamilton is his willingness 

to sever unconditionally. I really see the love of Christ in him when he is doing whatever he is assigned to do 

for the Lord without mumbling and complaining. 

The thing that made me sad about this interview was that when I asked Deacon Hamilton. Does he ever think to himself 

the church body has gotten away from what it really means to be a deacon if so why? His answer, was yes because deacons 

don't put God first like the deacons did back in the old days. We really don't serve the people like we use to. Like 

the deacons did in the old church. 

I felt heartbroken because I look at him, and say to myself is he the only one left, trying to do the will of God according 

to the ministry of a deacon. In reality, I know he’s not, that's just how I felt for that moment. I know that there are still 

deacons full of the Holy Ghost trying their best to put God first, serve their Pastor, and serve God’s people. 

I ask Deacon Hamilton one last question. How would he encourage deacons all around the world young and old? His 

reply was to put God first. Pray for your Pastor, pray for all people and be a servant to God's people.

JOSHUA–DESTINED SPIRITUAL 

LEADER 

The success of a leader must be measured over 

time. You cannot accurately gauge the effectiveness of 

the a persons leadership abilities by a single moment. In 

the eyes of my 3 year old son I am a leader. To get to 

our destination, the ball field, we must cross the parking 

lot. We had to wait for the Car to pass by before we 

could cross over to the other side. How often do our 

moments within our life look like we are standing still 

and doing nothing only to find out that was the best 

course of action at that moment. If we put our hands in 

God's omniscient hands we are sure to reach our destination 

safely and no sooner than we need to be 

there. Looking back, all my son remembers is that we 

had a great time at the ball field. The moments that we 

were not moving now have purpose and aided us in 

achieving our destiny. 

The Bible tells us, in 2 Peter 3:9, not to confuse slowness 

with patience. God has good thoughts for those 

who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior. As 

Lord over our life, we willfully accept Him as our spiritual 

leader and endeavor to obey His commands. We 

must trust Him, as our navigator, as we journey toward 

our destinies. Yes, I said destinies. You see, Jeremiah 

29:11 speaks of 'plans/thoughts' not just a 'plan/ 

thought'. As we go through life we will encounter many 

destinations along the way. Not all of the destinations 

will bring about the same joys and excitement, but all 

are essential to us growing in the knowledge and in understanding 

the love of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). As 

we grow, we serve as a model for those around us. They 

are witnesses to a life that is devoted to serving God and 

allowing Him direct their paths. As they embrace this 

way of living, the success of the leader begins to take 

shape. Keep the faith, continue serving, stay on the 

path, and remember that with God all things are possible. 

As we do these things a radical transformation can 

take place in the lives of those around us. 

A level of trust/faith builds that will stand the test of 

time. A level That will endure the setbacks and moments 

that appear contrary to forward progress towards 

the destiny God has in store for them. In closing I leave 

you with this: " Israel served the Lord all the days of 

Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived 

Joshua, who had known all the works of the Lord which 

he had done for Israel." (Joshua 24:31 NKJV) Wow! 

What a statement to sum up a leaders life. God Bless.

ARE YOU READY TO LEAD? 

1corinthians 2:9 9 but just as it is written [in Scripture], 

“THINGS WHICH THE EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND THE EAR HAS NOT 

HEARD, AND WHICH HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, 

ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE 

HIM [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, 

and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].” 

(AMP) 

Not only do you have and inheritance but your whole family 

has an inheritance. Gen 13:15, But you cannot lead your family 

into the promises, visions, and dreams that God has given 

you if they don't believe. They may repeatedly ask you questions 

such as when will God move on our behalf? Where are 

you leading us? How long will it take for us to reach our destination? 

As leaders, let's face it we don’t always have all the 

answer to everyone questions. So it is wise to just say I don't 

know. Be honest and let them know that you are praying 

about all of their concerns as well as your own. Remind 

them of what God has said to you and assure them that as 

long as we follow the Holy Spirit, He will indeed direct our 

path and make things clearer to us as we continue to follow 

Him. He is the revealer of all truth, John 16:13. God is counting 

on you to lead your family, to lead your congregation 

into a land flowing with milk and honey Exodus 3:8. 

No matter what people may think, there is always a process 

and a time to move out in faith about what God has told you 

to do. We see this in Joshua 1:2 Moses had died and now it 

is Joshua time to lead. As believers, we all have a rich inheritance 

in Jesus Christ Ephesians 1:11-14. God always keeps 

His promises don't be moved by what you don't see in the 

physical realm yet! You have to trust God enough to know 

that He is doing something that you can't see 1corinthians 2:9 

and that He is working things out for your good Romans 

8:28.You must believe that God is all powerful and no matter 

what God has shown you or told you to do, nothing is too 

hard for God Jeremiah 32:27. 

Like, Joshua, you have to trust God and believe what He says 

is true. Joshua 1:9 This is my command—be strong and courageous! 

Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD 

your God is with you wherever you go.” He will walk with 

you every step of the way. Sometimes you have to reflect on 

all the things that God has already done in your life and the 

lives of others to motive you to keep moving forward. 

Joshua knew personally the miracles that took place during 

the leadership of Moses. This made Joshua’s faith in God 

strong. If you say that you believe that God is all-powerful, 

that alone should build your faith. Don't let doubt keep you 

from what God has for you in this season. Be a courageous 

go-getter!2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of 

fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I strongly 

encourage you today be courageous and go get what God has 

waiting for you!
