I am on my way back to Brooklyn, New York after spending seven days in the mountains of Georgia. I had a good time and need to rest which I am very thankful for. Nevertheless I go back with a sense of urgency. One of my sons in the ministry Tyheim (affectionately know as "Hooch") was shot in the back of the head and the bullet exited his eye. He was conscious enough to tell the police who shot him. As I send this message to you family he lives and holds on to life. Hooch is still in high school and being raised in the projects in my section of Brooklyn called East New York. He looks forward to playing football in college. A quiet and hard working young man fights against numerous odds and circumstances that were designed to oppress and destroy him even before he could get out of the starting block. Another young man (kid) shot him. Pray for him and both families. Oh how we need you God in this time and situation.
I go back home to my folk and ministry determined to run the race as if I am going to get the prize. My call to boys and young men can not be more clearly defined and challenged at this stage of my life. I have more than faith and hope to bring us through. I have the One and True Living God as my source in which I only depend on. The test of endurance is before me but I shall not give up or drop the baton. I connect and build with those that God has aligned me with to continue the task of Kingdom Building right here on Earth.
Pray for us as we overcome and got through. I do not have time for questions of why all I know is that God will continue to make a way. My heart is heavy but my determination is held fast. Tyheim has been with me since he as about ten years old. To many of our young men are falling by the wayside. I am totally mad and at war with the enemy of our souls and the evil circumstances that dominate the complexity of our terrain and way of life. I fight for our life until I die and when i die I live because to die is to gain.....WHO WILL COME WITH ME....WHO WILL TAKE UP ARMS WITH ME.....WHERE ARE MY PRAYER WARRIORS AT....WHO WILL RUN THIS RACE WITH ME......WHO WILL HOLD UP THE MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR LINE AND KEEP THEM UPRIGHT......HALLELUJAH LORD GOD ALL PRAISES GIVEN UNTO TO YOU.....One LOVE
