  40 Years After MLK: Dr. James Perkins and Terrence Wilson, The Legacy LIVES on!

  Playbook for Christian Manhood: 12 Key Plays for Black Teen Boys

   Playbook for Christian Manhood

  

  Helps Black Teen Boys Thrive, Not Just Survive!
  
  16.4% of black teens have carried a weapon

  Among 10 to 24 year-olds, homicide is the leading cause of death of blacks

  Only 8% of young black men have graduated from college

  Young black men represent more than 40% of the prison population

  Finally, a new book that will help teens overcome the statistics, transforming them from young boys to men of integrity. Rev. Dr. James C. Perkins, founder of the Benjamin E. Mays Male Academy, has responded to the national crisis affecting black teen boys. In Playbookfor Christian Manhood: 12 Key Plays for Black Teen Boys, Dr. Perkins has compiled a game plan for black males aged 11-15 that supplies twelve essential lessons for godly character.  With Rev. Perkins’ help, these young men will learn to:

       1. Establish their own identity
       2. Identify their purpose
       3. Value education
       4. Protect their body
       5. Honor parents and respect girls
       6. Acknowledge authority
       7. Develop leadership skills
       8. Safeguard their sexuality
       9. Deal with disappointment
      1o. Manage money

  This playbook offers basic formation, blocking and pass strategies, and a view of the goal line!

  Why This Book Works!

     1. Easy for boys aged 11-15 to read and understand
     2. Uses football terminology boys will embrace
     3. Encourages boys to jot down thoughts, examples, and action plans in
         their own personal playbook
     4. Invites teens to use their own life experiences to navigate problems
     5. Same successful techniques used at the Benjamin E. Mays Male Academy

  Meet Author Terrence Wilson

  

  Terrence (age 29) is a South Carolina native who now resides in Southeast Michigan. The younger of two children, Terrence’s childhood was that of a humble beginning. Growing up in a house in which his father was absent, Terrence experienced firsthand the anguish of being raised in a single-parent home. Even though his father was not there, he did not allow that to be his excuse for failure.

  While growing up, Terrence was very active in both school and church. While in college, he was the State President for the Youth & College Division of the South Carolina Branches of the NAACP, amongst other positions. He was frequently called upon as an inspirational speaker for youth. For his activism, he was recognized by the state of South Carolina as one of the Top Ten Minorities to Watch Under the age of 30 in 1998.

  In 2002, Terrence began ministering in boy’s homes and other youth groups. His message was that “despite your current circumstances, with God on your side you can make it.” He has started an organization, called Wilstonian, which will help to create resources to deal with such issues. The first of such resources will be a book entitled In Search of a Father, in which he outlines his internal struggles while growing up due to the fact that his father was not there.

  Today, Terrence is happily married to his wife, Karen. Terrence and Karen are members of Word of Faith International Christian Center - Southfield, MI, where Bishop Keith A. Butler is their pastor.

  Good Friday Message from author and pastor, Andre Butler

  	We Are All Witnesses By Pastor Andre Butler
  	It goes without saying that Resurrection Day is the most important day of the year for Christians.  Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there is no salvation, without salvation there is no Christianity.  As the Bible teaches in Romans 10:9, 10, an individual must not only confess Jesus as Lord, but they also must believe that God has raised him from the dead to be saved.  This illustrates that the heart of the gospel message is that Jesus rose from the dead.   In the Book of Acts one word seemed to be used repeatedly to describe the followers of Jesus, witnesses.  The 11 Apostles immediately set out to pick one of those that had been with them from the beginning of Jesus' ministry, who had heard what he said, saw what he did, and knew what they knew, to be a replacement for Judas.  In Peter's first message on the day of Pentecost, his grand finale was that Jesus was no longer dead but alive and that they were all witnesses.  He followed that up with witnessing to the Sanhedrin council that Jesus, who they had crucified, was risen from the dead.  The rest of the apostles joined in with Peter in testifying of what they had heard, seen, and knew, that Jesus was alive.   They with more than 500 others had personally seen Jesus after his resurrection.  He was among them for 40 days and proved he was alive by many infallible proofs.  Therefore, they went from being a depressed group of men who were locked up in a room for fear of the Jews to an ecstatic group that found themselves on the streets of Jerusalem testifying about the resurrection of Jesus.   One of the greatest proofs of his resurrection is that all of the apostles died as martyrs.  One being willing to die for something they believe doesn't mean that what they believe is true, however, it does mean that they believe its true.  If the apostles had made up the resurrection story they preached, and was later written, surely at least one of them would have confessed of their deception to prevent whatever death awaited them.  However, they all testified through their actions that their testimony was true.  They along with those that became followers of Jesus through his ministry and theirs testified wherever they went that Jesus was alive.  Later a man named Paul, the Osama Bin Laden of his day, one who had Christians killed for his beliefs had an encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.  He left on his trip with plans to end the lives of Christians, he returned as a witness to the resurrection of Jesus.  As Christians today, we have the same responsibility to spread the good news about the resurrection of Jesus as those that have come before us.  We are witnesses, commissioned to testify that Jesus is not dead but alive, and that his resurrection is proof that everything he said was true.  He is the Messiah, the Savior of the world, and that if one were to believe in him they could avoid a devil's hell and have eternal life.   We may not have seen Jesus with our own eyes as the early believers did but we can present some of the same evidence that they did.  We have the Bible's testimony, which is easily proven to be divine.  The accuracy of Bible prophecy alone proves its source.  The many healings and miracles occurring not only in churches and conventions all over the world, but in grocery stores, athletic fields, in schools, and anywhere else you find Bible believing Christians using the authority of Jesus also prove that Jesus is alive and still working miracles as he did in his time on the earth.  As he said, whatever we ask in his name, he will do it, that we will do the works he did.  Sure, some may believe that every miracle is fake, however there are far too many people who will gladly testify of what Jesus did for them to totally ignore. Lastly, as Christians, each of us is a witness of what Jesus has done in our marriages, bodies, finances, careers, emotions, and other areas of our lives. We must not be ashamed to get in the streets as the early believers did and to testify about what Jesus has done for us. Resurrection Day is not just a day where we celebrate but a day when we are reminded of our responsibility to be a witness to our world that Jesus is alive and that what he did for us he will do for them as well.     Have a great Holiday!   Andre Butler is the pastor of Faith Christian Center in Smyrna, Georgia, with a current membership of more than 4,000. He resides in the Atlanta area with his wife. Minister Tiffany and daughters. He has a bachelor's degree in management from Kennesaw State University. He is the author of Living Life to the Full.

Her ministry supports her husband, Bishop Steven W. Banks, Founder and Senior Pastor of Living Waters Christian Fellowship and Overseer of the Living Waters International Alliance (LWIA), a network of apostolically aligned churches and para-church ministries. Dr. Keira is a gifted and anointed prophetic teacher with profound insight into the Kingdom of God and its advancement in the earth. She founded the Lily Housing Corporation in 2002, a transitional housing ministry established to assist working women and children with temporary housing and professional social services. In 2007 Lily Housing Corporation expanded internationally and established its first orphanage in Chennai, India. Dr. Keira is the publisher of The Lily Journal Magazine, a bi-annual publication dedicated to the recognition of women in Christian ministry. Dr. Keira is the founder and host of the Women’s Empowerment Conference, an annual gathering of women of the apostolic and prophetic dimensions. As a dynamic female leader with fierce prophetic anointing, Dr. Keira travels domestically and internationally to share the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. She received a of Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education from Virginia Union University (1988). Dr. Keira is also a 2007 graduate of Kingdom University, Dr. Cindy Trimm, Chancellor. Dr. Keira holds a Masters of Biblical Studies (MBS) and an earned Doctor of Ministry degree (D. Min.) from Friends International Christian University, of Merced, California. She and her husband Bishop Banks are the blessed parents of Keira Iman Banks and Jordan Imanuel Banks. Dr. Keira is a native of Long Island, New York. She now resides with her family in Virginia Beach, Virginia. A Word from Dr. Keira Banks. Christian women are doing incredible things around the globe.  On every continent Spirit-empowered women are advancing the Kingdom of God in amazing and mind-bending ways.  As homemakers, executives, intercessors, ministers and faithful employee’s women are arising as a powerful prophetic force of reckoning. In The Book of Judges chapters Four and Five we find the accounts of two God appointed women, Deborah and Jael.   They were both daughters of the Most High God, but possessed distinctly different anointing and assignments.  Nevertheless, both Deborah and Jael are called with the same fierce empowerment to work together to exploit darkness and oppression wherever it is found. The marvelous truth is that both Deborah and Jael were called to destroy Sisera, the enemy of Israel.  Sisera is representative of oppression and defeat.  Both Deborah and Jael are each given a unique and strategic role in bringing down their enemy.  However, it is vitally important to understand that neither woman could accomplish the enemy’s defeat on their own.  They needed one another.  We discover in the text that what Deborah starts, Jael finishes, and what Deborah declares prophetically, Jael is able to manifest.  It is important to note that the two women were not in competition against one another since Deborah did not bring to the table what Jael could and vice versa.  The texts in The Book of Judges help us to understand that when women work in partnership one with another, we become unstoppable in the realm of the spirit. In 2002, I founded the Lily Housing Corporation (LHC), a non-profit charity established to provide temporary housing for women and their children in transition.  Currently, we have one property in Newport News, Virginia while plans are underway to expand Lily Housing to a number of cities in the state of Virginia.  We are also very pleased to announce that Lily Housing has expanded internationally with the purchase of property in the city of Chennai, India where we will build a 4,000 square foot orphanage to assist children in transition and in need of the love of God. Women of God, all around the globe, I cannot do this vision alone.  I need your help.  I need your Spirit-empowered prayers as well as your vital financial support.  God gave me a piece of this assignment to minister in practical ways to women in transition and to orphans internationally.  You have the remaining piece of the assignment in your hand and heart.  I need helping hands that are willing to liberally give on a consistent basis and I need willing hearts with a capacity for the nations - hearts that will connect with a vision greater than themselves. We are grateful for your prayers, encouragement, and continued support.  Together we will impact the world! In His Service, Dr. Keira Taylor-Banks  http://www.keirabanks.org

  Ministry Gifts

  Writer Thirteen successful African American women clergy tell the powerful,  inspirational, and sometimes heartbreaking stories about their calls and ministerial journeys.  

  Preacher  - The preaching ministry of Rev. Dr. Greene Barr has been described as prophetic, relevant and empowering. The Word of God is presented in such as way as to cause the hearer to pause and reflect upon their walk with God. 

  Teacher The teaching ministry is designed to enlighten the student through the holy scriptures for relevant life applications. Our biblical exposition courses are structured to move the participant beyond mere information and into a transformational experience that develops central personality competencies of motives, traits and self-identity consistent with the mandate to take on the mind of Christ.  

  Clergy Mentoring Institute™ The occurrences of divinely called persons who do not reach their potential in ministry, because of a lack of effective mentoring or the unfortunate cases of pastoral mismanagement experienced along any phase of call identification are staggering. The Clergy Mentoring Institute is designed to exponentially increase the quality and quantity of clergy leaders in the Kingdom of God.
