Great is God's Faithfulness

 
I am at a loss for adequate words to express my gratitude and respect for the way in which Mother and I were surrounded and bathed in love by the leadership of TFAM and our City of Refuge family. We had 5 armed guards surrounding us everywhere we went, and although I am grateful that our hosts took our safety seriously, that safety paled in comparison to the powerful spiritual shield of the prayers from home and the physical presence of the TFAM warriors. The enemies of justice did not have a chance to prevail. Everyone came at their own expense and I want to thank

Pastor Freedom Gulley who helped us navigate the Baptist waters and special thanks to Pastor Vanessa Brown, who co-ordinated my schedule on the ground and stayed right next to me all the way through my journey from Nashville to New Jersey and my visit to Drew.

I also want to make special mention of Dr. Sylvia Rhue and Sis Ann Craig and 'The Rev' Sophia Jackson for my travel logistics and press coordination.

Pastor Ann Jefferson and COR Pastors and prayer warriors prayed us out of the door, to engage the insults vitriol and hatefulness designed to break us and we prevailed, on the wings of the prayers of the Saints.

What was meant for evil has worked for our good. Our message of love and acceptance went global in a week, accompanied by more press than we could ever afford.

Great is God's Faithfulness!
I am Yours as long as God lets me live,
In Gratitude,
Bishop
