T.D. JAKES OFFERS FREE HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION IN AFRICA: Locals in South Africa and Swaziland will benefit.

- provided by eurweb.com - 

 

Under the banner of MegaCARE, this new outreach of MegaFest International is part of the event’s commission to meet people’s spiritual and physical needs.

The international event of Bishop T.D. Jakes, MegaFest International, is to be held October 17-19. It is one of the world’s largest Christian events and will provide free healthcare and educational opportunities to the people of South Africa and Swaziland.

“We have always been committed to serving the whole person through our ministries at The Potter’s House. We extend that commitment to MegaFest, where we have offered financial planning seminars, built homes in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, and delivered other vital services that met the physical needs of people,” said Bishop T.D. Jakes, visionary for MegaFest.

Sponsored by Terra Cotta International (TCI) and The Potter’s House of Counseling and Behavioral Health (OCBH), MegaCARE is partnering with governmental and faith-based organizations in South Africa and Swaziland to provide free-on-site health services. TCI and OCBH volunteers and staff will greet families and individuals as they arrive at MegaFest and direct them to triage, general health screening, HIV counseling and testing, dental care, ophthalmic care and referral services where materials and resources on malaria, tuberculosis, domestic violence, HIV/AIDS and more will be disseminated.

A partner of United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Society for Family Health/New Start will provide HIV testing and counseling while Pro-Health International will provide the physicians, lab techs and pharmacist who will deliver expert care and counseling. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is another partner in this initiative.

After Greater St. Stephens Church is Destroyed, Jewish Church Comes to The Rescue

They won’t be having church there for awhile.

In the meantime, they’ll be here

…talk about a ministry that’s gone thru. If Hurricane Katrina wasn’t enough, the fire certainly did a number on the building.  …but not on the ministry’s resolve.

Worship continues in an unlikely place: A Jewish Temple.

Who said Christian folks had the market cornered when it comes to showing love?

Gospel Music at The White House

I’m a little on late freight with this. PRAYZEHYMN previously covered this; but in case you missed it, here’s what he wrote:

The White House celebrated the genre and historical relevance of gospel music in the East Room on June 17 with live performances from the Kurt Carr Singers, Spensha Baker, Walter & Edwin Hawkins and Narcissus Brown. The invitation-only event was hosted by Dr. Teresa Hairston - founder and publisher of Gospel Today magazine.

This wasn’t the first time gospel music stepped itself into the walls of the White House, but this one will be highly remembered for its exclusive tribute to the genre of gospel music for an entire program during Black Music Month - annual held in the month of June.

The 50-minute celebration can still be viewed on the Internet in its entirety by Clicking Here.

The End of White Flight

 

The Wall Street Journal writes an interesting account about White Flight. It’s not really a church based article, except for the part where black preachers are now trying to attract white parishioners.

…makes me wonder, if your ministry were geared towards blacks and they all moved away, why not move with them? Then again, I guess adapting and/or changing the script can be considered progress. 

Why is integration a problem? Awww, why can’t we get along? …rhetorical. Truth be told, though we are commanded to love one another, culturally, not all, but most of us like being around our own kind. Sure, there are also economic considerations.

New Music from J Drew Sheard: Stronger

J Drew’s sound is decidedly different from his famous sister, Kiki, not to mention his even more famous mother, Karen Clark Sheard.

I’m really liking this. We need more originality and less carbon copies in Gospel so this is really a good look for J Drew. What do you think? The video below is really over after around 2:30 so I wouldn’t bother to watch past that point.
