I thank Him for the Gift of the Holy Spirit; and for having the chance to reclaim my place in His Kingdom. The LOVE of God is alive and well at Shiloh.
*** Thank you Bishop and Pastor Bettye Howell, Jr., thank you for your constant love and kindness and sensitivity to God's Holy Spirit. Thank you Sisters from the old church and the new church; and thank you Brothers. I mean it when I hug you and tell you I love you; God knows it.
In closing, my Son Joshua, who was baptized at age 5 in the old church (he asked to be baptized then and had a vision), plans to attend church with me again. He is now almost 27-years-old with two beautiful little girls. He has a beautiful singing voice which I always encourage him to use. He is a truly wonderful young man. Pray that he will be able to use his Gifts and Talents at Shiloh.
Since I was a member of the old Shiloh in the Phillip Neighborhood, and my husband died, my son and I have been through many valleys and deserts and mountains. Only the Belief In Jesus' Love and Mercy has kept us. We have had evil done to us by many in the world and my late husband's family stopped contacting us after my husband's funeral service. This devestated our son Joshua ("God is Salvation" is the meaning of my son's name.) and he no longer wanted to go to any church. He became totally grieved in spirit due to some bad church goers who did us much evil, the death of his Dad at age 50, and the loss of an uncle mentor and his Dad's whole family. I am believing God to heal my son Joshua's broken heart and spirit. I am believing miracles for all of my family and my brethren at Shiloh and elsewhere. JESUS CHRIST IS THE KING OF kings AND THE LORD OF lords. He is the Beginning and the Ending. I owe everything to the 'LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH'.
