Happy New Year and may God bless you, one and all, and may we all grow in appreciation of His manifold blessings. I thank God for bringing me through all the ups and downs of 2019; I am especially appreciative of His guidance in the establishment of Recovery In Christ Community Church inc.(RiCCC). This church is such a wonderful blessing to all of us. I send out a special word of thanks to our hosts, Pastor and First Lady Charles Walker and the Mt. Hope Community Church family, 1326 Broadway. They have welcomed us and make us feel at home, their generosity and sincere godly love continue to be an integral part of our healing process. I am also very grateful to Pastor and First Lady James Lewis and the Miracle Missions family, they also embraced us and showed us nothing but love. I would be remiss if I did not express a very special word of gratitude to Bishop and Fist Lady Pridgen, and the True Bethel Family, I continue to learn so much and more importantly, RiCCC members continue to grow from the teaching, preaching, musicology, fellowship, and unconditional love that is constantly poured upon us. Our theme for 2020 is "Clear Vision," I even had a recent eye exam and new glasses to make sure that I am applying what the Lord is giving me. My first official act of ministry in 2020 came this morning when I had to help a member that was stranded with a flat tire, as I changed the tire, my wife, may God continue to bless her and keep her, she has such a humble and sweet spirit, she shared with the young lady in the warmth of our vehicle. RiCCC is covering the cost of tires for this member, we have been able to help others with financial, employment, and other practical services. I also need to thank Minister Cynthia Camper and her husband, 1st Sergeant Camper (US Army, Ret.), she has been an invaluable Ministerial assistant, watching her her and the church members grow fills me such joy and appreciation for the LORD, He allows me to play whatever small roles I can as He produces these miracles, it often brings me to uncontrollable tears of joy. I did not intend for this post to to be so long, there is so much to brag on God about. The awesome work He is doing at the City Mission will take a whole other post so I'll close by saying, "thank you LORD," You are an awesome God! Please join in reading through the entire Bible for another year, God bless.
