Much of my experience in ministry has come as result of a great deal of perseverance and after many trials and test at the hand of God. Perhaps the most valuable lesson I have learned is that "the trying of our faith worketh patience," and that a great deal of the hurt that believers experience in ministry is for the testing of their faithfulness. This book will focus on the birthing of the church and if after having read it you conclude that the church is a place where you can draw closer to God, strengthen your personal relationship with Him, add to your character, and increase your integrity this book will have served one of its purpose.

The Church builds strong communities, families, cities, and ultimately strong nation. The Church enhances visionary purpose and spiritual development. The Church has been the most prevalent institution in the lives of Black and Brown communities since the ending of the institution a slavery. It has given rise to political, economic, social, and educational advancements; it gave rise to preachers as the voice of the community. My involvement in the church gave me the impetuous to go to college, become a writer and motivation speaker. It increased my desire to become a caring and compassionate person and like the pastor of this church who will be there for you and your visionary purpose; you can stand on its promises.
