Oh my how proud I am of you. I also saw a picture of you, Henry, Cedric, and Joe. it was so good seeing all of you. God is truly awesome. Please give me a call if you don't mind, I would love to catch up with you and everyone, esp. Cedric, bcuz he an my late husband were very good friends. My numbers are: 210-589-9201(c) 210-670-4899(h). Much love. Trina

Pastor, I see we have a similar interest in favorite preachers. Dr. Bryant's teaching and preaching method is one of a kind. Whenever I'm in the Baltimore area, I stop by to worship. I always feel like I'm apart of their Empowerment Family. Dr. Bryant always has a revelant word whether it's bible class or regular worship, the word of God is always on time.
When I read your BIO "WHEW!" you have done a lot and that's great. It's nice to see people fulfilling the call of God on thier lives. I was born and raised in the church and I've seen a lot and have had my share. I strayed away because of things that were happening in the church because I took my eye off of God and placed it on man and that was a big mistake. But now, I feel God is calling me to fulfill his purpose in my life and I can't run anymore or hide in the back of the church and warm the bench. It's time for me to come forth and do all that God has called me to do. Your words are very encouraging and inspiring and I pray that you will continue doing God's will serving the people of God in the "Spirit of Excellence" because so many have lost what it really means to do this.
