Birthing the Phoenix is a reflection of my relationship with my Lord, the trinity as a whole, my community, and my church. The church shares my beliefs, my teachings, and the work of my writings. This will take you on a spiritual quest to find your own intimate relationship. The past year has brought a lot of changes to my church. We have had gains and losses throughout our years of serving the community since 1920, but we have stood for God without wavering. We have achieved a multigenerational church, believers raised in other denominations being drawn to freely worship in the Holy Spirit. We have four full gospel pastors anointed with the Holy Spirit, missionaries, and teachers. Our youth pastor has achieved a good relationship with our local schools, and many youth leaders are rising up in my church filled with the Holy Spirit. A ministerial alliance with other ministers in the community, our own pastor was part of an inner structure. We have an individual gathering of all ladies in the community once a year, an independent ladies ministry, a men's fellowship program, a support group, connect groups, community service, intercessory prayer, a secure place for children to be taught, a white Christmas program, and supported operation Christmas Child, a faith cafe, a dynamic Sunday school, an awesome music program, a live nativity dinner theater, and a passion play. Come and visit my church at Buena Vista, Virginia, on 17th Street. God Bless everyone who reads this book
