<strong>TGM</strong> Exclusive We have all heard the expression, “Oh that was better than a Broadway show!” This is a common analogy drawn when we have an exuberant experience watching a production that blows us away. That is what celebrating the seventieth birthday of the illustrious Prophet/Bishop Phillip E. Owens, D.D. and forty-third anniversary of his marriage to the beautiful Elect Lady Patricia A. Owens, D.D. The spectacular and unexpected happened as the guests stood up in amazement at every turn of the production. Headlining the magnificent evening at the Aliante Showroom in North Las Vegas, Nevada and celebrating the life and ministry of the most dedicated Shepherd, Spiritual Leader, Prophet of the end times, Bishop Owens, was a mystery game of mysterious people. Five members of the Immanuel’s Temple Systems of Church (ITSC) congregation unleashed their secret vocal talents. If you had not previously watched the Fox show “The Masked Singer,” this rendition of masked vocalists disguised in animal suits made you want to run to your streaming source and binge watch it! It was entertaining, hilarious, and jaw dropping as each amateur contestant’s performance was so unbelievably professional. It was the biggest suspense ever as the guests of honor and attendees awaited each reveal behind “the mask” - heart pounding! After getting over the shock of the name and face behind the “masked singer,” Bishop and Elect Lady Owens had to hold on to their seats of expectation, because “Dancing with the Vision” kicked off with the spectacular! It was a variety show of variety shows, storytelling the life, legacy, and God ordained union of Bishop and Elect Lady Owens. There were sketches of tap dancing, tango, salsa, “jitterbug”; bits on their courtship; Motown parodies of their early marriage; the beginning of their ministry; and much more! The performances were lively and lifted you up, out of your seat - exhilarating! Every skit and bit invited you closer to share a piece of this wonderful life and journey God has set and planned for two people He found to be faithful and obedient for over forty-three years! Giving double honor to forty-three plus years of marriage and ministry, on top of commemorating seventy years of the best life, had to be done at an epic scale! The ITSC army of believers pray and dedicate themselves to a lifetime of service under sound, anointed, sacrificial leadership. Bishop and Elect Lady Owens are highly favored of God because they love and serve Him and His people with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. How timely is it to highlight and aggrandize a day that represents the birth of greatness and such a perfect union. The hope was for these founders and leaders of ITSC to leave the night inspired to keep preaching the truth, to be overwhelmed by all the love, and to be filled with joy overflowing to strengthen them for the next chapter of their wonderful life in ministry! 4
