God has opened up the door for me to preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I began attending Mt. Vernon at the age of 5. When my mother changed churches I had to move on but I have always loved Rev. James Netters' preaching and I returned to Mt. Vernon when I was 18.

God called me to preach when I was 21 years old but I ran off into the world for all the wrong reasons. I learned so much from Rev. Netters and he was always there for me. I attended Crichton College in the early '90s and was licensed and ordained by Rev. Netters at Mt. Vernon in 1998.

Dr. Adkins was so understanding and a great help to me and where God was taking me. He was trying to help me get a building for the church. I have been talking to Rev. Faulkner since 2003. When I first started this ministry, he gave me the largest love offering. He saw I was struggling in 2005 and God touched his heart to help this ministry. Ain't God all right?

I was born in LeMoyne Gardens and grew up in South Memphis where I attended Florida, Walker and Ford elementary schools, and Carver and Mitchell high schools. As a child my Big Mama always made me stay in the house; I could not play like the other kids. I had to go in for Bible study in my little red chair.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! / Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.

We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.
