First stop on the Praise ship, was in Hempstead NY at the Word of Faith Deliverance Ministries Inc., where the beautiful and gracious woman of God, Pastor Betty Easter Brown is the Pastor. We were there for the year of release service with none other than Prophetess Francina Norman of Miami Fla. Prophetess Norman gave us a word that rocked my soul and then she gave a life changing prophecy to my husband and I that will forever live in our hearts and minds. We had such a great time with Prophetess Norman we met her in Brooklyn, at the Bible Faith Tabernacle, where the Bishop Greg Foster is the Pastor. We walked into the sanctuary and the saints were gathered around the altar setting up the atmosphere so the woman of God could come in and pour out what God has poured into her. One thing she said will always reside in my mind, “your past preparation meets present opportunity.” What profound words for a time such as this. If any time we needed encouragement, it would be in this season.
Next we slid into Jamaica NY to Harvest Church International, where my friend Bishop Michael Turpin is the Pastor. We were invited to their women’s conference, hosted by First Lady Pastor Turpin. Guest preacher for this night was none other than Dr. Medina Pullings of Va. Dr. Pullings told us we need to stop living in the crumb mentality, when we have the opportunity to eat from our father’s table. She went on to say, “Stop looking at Bozo when Boaz is on the way.” She also reminded us, “When you open up your mouth you give it power to be” As for me I choose life, what about you? The guest psalmist for the night was none other than Evangelist Bettina Pennon who modulated 8 times and destroyed me with “I won’t complain.” If you ever need a psalmist this anointed woman of God is the one you need to call.
Next we landed on planet Manhattan at the Tribeca Grand Hotel for the launch of We TV’s Mary Mary. We know this dynamic award winning duo sister group as world renowned singers, but now they have branched out to have their very own primetime series. Mary Mary as always shows much love to a sister and is gracious as always to the media and fans that truly love them. It was a night to speak to the sisters’ one on one and I believe it was worth watching the preview before everyone else because it gave you a heads up and step up from everybody else. This is one show worth watching with the whole family.
Next we landed in Manhattan NY for the Network Journal 14th Annual 25 influential Black Women in business awards. This wonderful event was held at the New York Marriot Marquis Hotel, hosted by the beautiful and well known anchorwoman Brenda Blackmon. The 25 influential African American Queens will be profiled in the March issue of Network Journal. What I loved about this particular award was that the women awarded were diverse in job titles, industries and expertise, but they all had one thing in common and that was succeeding beyond circumstances and any obstacles. It is always a pleasure to see and chat with my good friend Toya Beasley from 98.7 Kiss FM. To all the winners on behalf of Love Express and yours truly congrats.
Next we slid into Brooklyn NY to First Calvary BC annual Senior Choir banquet, where they honor their own. It is so good to remember someone while they yet can smell the flowers. Our very own Dr. D was the MC for the evening and I must say he did a wonderful job. We salute the honorees and all seniors all over the world.
Next stop Brooklyn NY at the Pilgrim Church of Brownsville, where the Bishop Smart is the Pastor. We were there for 8th Annual Agape Love Fellowship camp meeting, given by Under the Blood Ministries Inc. The preacher for the night was none other than Prophet Andre Jones of the Greater Bethel Ministries. This young man preached a great word that left you saying to yourself well alright. The Prophet declared the glory of God is coming back to NYC. He also said ‘we may reside in one dimension but we with anointed eyes will be able to see in another.’ This ministry caters not just to the church body, but to the family of each person desiring of God that each family member be saved.
Our next stop on the Love Express Shuttlecraft was on Saturday, March 17, at the Christian Ministry Expo + Awards, held at CUNY Brooklyn College Student Center. Sponsored by the Global Christian Events Network Inc, and Bro Gbenga Omotaya as a day of networking, empowerment and celebration. This one day event expo and conference highlight trailblazing organizations in the Christian community. The Award Gala played host to the annual Christian Ministry Awards (CMA), going beyond the traditional to celebrate the whole body of Christ. The winner of this year’s Inspirational Gospel Comedian was my good friend Mike Gee. Mike Gee is no stranger to the Love Express and the comedian world. Congrads my brother on behalf of the Love Express and myself, Dr. D. Thanks Bro. Gbenga for allowing me to spin great gospel music at your expo. Big shout out to my friends and your host motivational speaker and author Ms. Saida Browne and Bro. Mike Gee.
Next place we landed was in Manhattan, at the Pennsylvania Hotel for a service of Impartation. It was hosted by Apostle R.L. Jackson and First Lady Jackson and The Life Center Family. The guest preacher for the evening was none other than Bishop Paul S, Morton Sr., Changing a Generation Ministries. It is always a pleasure to see Apostle and visit with his church family, especially since they have claimed me as their own. I was excited to see Bishop Morton and hear him sing “Let it Rain.” He preached a mighty word, “Turn the devil’s tap off.” He told us to go right to the gates of hell and bark at the devil. Jesus is a spiritual plumber and calling on Him is like a having a spiritual wrench that turns the devil’s tap off. After a wonderful service, then we had the pleasure to dine with Bishop Morton and other invited guest. Some of the guests were General overseer Cohen of the Christian Education dept., Dr. Charles Walter Mosley and many others.
Next place we landed was in Brooklyn NY at the Calvary Cathedral of Praise for the sacred service of consecration for Bishop designate Rev. Dr. Marcus Roberts (Th. M:D.D.) Have you ever walked into a place and you stepped into the inner court of worship and by the time they finished you were kneeling in the presence of the Most High God. The worship service was just an appetizer and when the First Lady Lunsford of Mass. came on board and blessed us with a sermonic solo that just finished me off. Bishop Cox was the presider and Bishop Robert R. Brown was the chief consecrator & celebrant. If this man of God ever decides to give up preaching he would make a great comedian. Bishop C. T. Cox II is man of excellence and order and does not take excuses and believe me he won’t. Just to name a few, Bishop H. Curtis Douglas, Bishop & first Lady Wharton, Pastor F. A Jonas, Pastor Zulima A. Cox, Pastor E. & Pastor Spencer, Elder Sheila Williams, Bishop Dixon, Bishop J.A. Victor, Elder C. Thomas Bishop L.C. Williamson, Bishop J. Mattera, Bishop M. Lunsford, Bishop K. Jenkins & Bishop C. Courtenay. Last but not least was Elder R. King a man of excellence whom was taught excellence. I really want to thank Elder Thalia Brown, daughter of Bishop R. Brown for making my job so easy. Bishop Roberts we salute on your elevation and we are ever so sorry your wife could not be in attendance, because she was in the hospital after breaking her leg. Bishop stated the elevation was a blessing, but without his better half something was missing. We will continue to pray for first lady’s speedy recovery and this humble man of God, we honor you.
Next stop was in Brooklyn NY at Bethenia BC, where Rev. Mary Jackson is the Pastor, for the Seven Last words. It is always a pleasure to listen to others bring forth the mighty word of God and you get to share also. These dynamite women of God are as follows in the order they came forth, Evg. Mary Gitten, Evang. Sharmaine Byrd, Min. Janice Green, Rev. Henrietta Shepherd, Elder Bernice Jamison-Turner, newcomer in the group Evg. JoAnn Lee and yours truly last but not least. This event is hosted by the women ministry and led by our very own Mother Nellie Felder who celebrated a birthday this week. To all of you women of God I salute you.
Last stop was in Brooklyn, at First Calvary Baptist Church where Pastor Earl Jones Sr. for the Seven Last Words. The Seven Last words is preached by the Pastor Earl Jones preaching Academy, which consists of Min. Earl Jones Jr., Min. Estelle Bonneau, Min. Shon Brantley, Min. Marc Thompson, Min. Sheree Jones, Min. Tisha Williams and yours truly. Thank you, Pastor Jones for having the heart of God and the desire to want to share the sacred desk with his staff. Happy birthday to my Boaz, Dr. D may the good Lord bless you and may you find favor forever.
