And just like that this season comes to a close. Truly floored at all that God did these past two months of tour! Let's start with the end of the Black Voices Northeast tour which, since my last update, brought us to Temple University. There we saw forty-three college students gather, nine of which rededicated themselves to Christ! It was also here at Temple that our van problems
began. After our first night of wild worship and life-defining rededication, my team and I headed out to our tour van, (Mufasa) and turning the key we discovered Mufusa was not budging. What we thought was just a quick jump turned out to be a whole event as we tried everything under the moonlit night to start up Mufusa, and after about an hour and a half of effort we accepted the poor van’s fate as well as our own. During this whole time though a good number of the Temple students remained with us providing their cars for heat, worshipping outside with us, and overall turning what would have been a stressful situation into vibes and a time of fellowship. As these servant-hearted students helped us find a way to unpack Mufusa and store our equipment, our tour van got towed away. After Temple Mufusa got fixed up we continued our trek to Old Dominion University in Virginia where we saw sixty people gathered and six people said yes to Jesus! The thing that stood out to me about Old Dominion was the spiritual hunger in the room. We had partnered with a local campus ministry, so many in the room had said yes to Jesus before but in that room there was just a palpable hunger for more. I was privileged to talk with one girl who was so bound by unforgiveness, and as we spoke the Lord revealed to her that it actually began within herself that she could not forgive others because she had not forgiven herself. The desire for freedom was in the room! After Old
Dominion, we went to Virginia State where there were some technical difficulties on day one, but we persevered and were able to have an amazing night of worship and ministry time. The next day we gathered with twenty young women and nine men of God for Bible study. There was also a time of breaking offense and unforgiveness for the women, as well as a time of intercession and encouragement for the men. To end the Black Voices Northeast tour, we had a collaboration with the Mid-Atlantic Carry the Love Circuit Rider team at Virginia Tech. Here we gathered two-hundred and forty nine college students and just worshipped God along with so many individuals who have been plowing the ground on this campus for a very long time.
From here we headed to Atlanta, Georgia, for the first ever Black Voices Conference! First let me just say that history was made not just in Black Voices and Circuit Riders but I truly believe in families and the Kingdom. The whole experience at the conference was surreal as all the Black Voices teams, Circuit Riders, and 2819 Church came together to make this dream a reality. The best thing about this is it legitimately was a multi-generational room as we beheld moms, dads, aunties, new and seasoned leaders say Yes in a new way. Even us, the ones hosting, were impacted and encountered in a deeper way. The fear of God met me and marked me in a new way, which has taken me to a place of faith that I have never been before, allowing me to see with Kingdom eyes more clearly than I did before. It was a few days after the conference our Black Voices team were able to call back every single person who came or paid to come but could not make it to the conference to thank them for coming, pray with them and hear their testimonies. I spoke with one girl on the phone about how she almost did not come, because a close friend who was going to come with her had a brother who committed suicide and the friend had to back out. She shared with me how coming into day one she was questioning God's sovereignty and His goodness, and how at conference He encountered her with those very things. It had dawned on me, while listening to her, that I had just talked to said friend and spent time praying over her not three hours prior! Another testimony is, I talked to a guy who before coming to the conference he was struggling with the battle over his mind, and after conference his mind had felt so filled with light as he stepped into his authority as a child of God when it comes to his mind. Many people that I called told me
that after the conference they were empowered to share the gospel, even evangelizing in their hotels, gas stations, and restaurants that they would stop at. One guy told me that on the last day he went back to his hotel, and after getting out he saw a guy in the lobby just sitting there. At that moment he felt the Holy Spirit tell him to go talk to him but dismissively he moved on. And with that he goes to his room and orders his food, but when he goes down to get it the guy the Lord told him to talk to is still there. At this point he grabs his food and walks over, and as they begin to chat he tells me that he remembered what was said at the conference that some people do not even know that God wants a relationship with them. So my friend tells the guy this, and the man starts bawling as he listens to the full gospel that my friend shares with him. The man gives his life to Jesus in the lobby! These testimonies and so many more are what you said yes to when partnering with me financially and in prayer! The reality of it is that these testimonies testify of your faith as well because you said yes to what God did and is doing through Black Voices and Circuit Riders as a whole. From the bottom of my heart thank you!
