First Half of Tour

Hello everyone! How crazy is it that at this point I am already at the halfway point of my mission tour. This experience has been stretching in so many ways; physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The late nights, how the Lord has been growing me as an individual, as well as the ministry aspect of it has all been transforming in growth and capacity. 

Girlies on my team and some William Patterson girlies

The beginning of tour started with a collabed youth event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 

which honestly was such a sweet start to tour. Since then, we have had eight total stops as a team with Delaware State being our first. There, we gathered about 118 students; 35 both said yes and rededicated their lives to Christ on day one. Day two at DSU, students returned to be taught how to share the very gospel that changed their lives, and together we went out on their campus to evangelize. From there, we saw six more salvations and many more gospel seeds planted. In New Jersey, William Paterson University was the next stop that we hosted as a team where we gathered 65 students for both day one and day two with 14 salvations and 19 rededications!

Venturing to a high school in south Jersey, we were welcomed in by the principal who is a minister and doing what he can to get the truth to the students of Willingboro and there, 12 high schoolers said yes to Jesus! We were in New Jersey for about 12 days and also hosted a youth rally in south Jersey where 7 people said yes to the Lord, and a youth rally in north Jersey where 4 young people surrendered their lives to God. Then, we went to New York City for a day! Although only in New York for a day, the Lord was able to use that day in miraculous ways. We went to a juvenile detention center in Brooklyn where we learned that 70% of the youth there were there for murder. The Lord had put such a burden on our hearts even before we entered and while we were there the Lord was able to just allow us to see and love His children as He sees and loves them. Before getting there we prayed for 100% salvations and of the 40 youth that we gathered and guards that attended we saw 35 say yes to God!

From there we went to Howard University and Morgan State University where we had such radical catalysts (who are the students who make it possible for us to be on campus). Howard gathered sixty-seven students both days and there we saw five salvations and six rededications. Morgan has WILD Jesus loving students. At Morgan we did things a little different with evangelism on day one and boy did these students SHOW UP! 15 students came out to learn

Howard stop Day 1

how to share the gospel; they went out and EVANGELIZED. We were able to see 5 salvations and 1 rededication as well as students becoming emboldened to share the Love of Jesus! Day two at Morgan seventy-three students came out and just went to it with worship with us. There we saw 1 salvation. More recently, we gathered at a youth center and a church; at the youth event, 20 young people came out and 3 of them decided to follow Jesus! The church event was a city wide event for all believers and leaders within the area, this event was unique in that it turned into an exhortation from our team to minister to weary leaders and remind them of the unity of Christ in which we live. Amid all of these, we have partnered with other Carry the Love teams (which consists of our teams that go to other colleges) where we have witnessed more salvations, rededications, healings, and saw many testimonies of how God has, is and continues to meet His children. Pray points continue to be…

-Health

-Unity within my team

-Host generosity (that our hosts throughout tour will feed us!)

-Longevity for our van

-Longevity for all of our instruments and equipment

-Strength and energy for all the Circuit Rider teams that are out right now

-Safe travels for all Black Voices staff and team to Atlanta at the end of the month for conference

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
