Rev. Millsap  and his wife, Michelene,  presided over a very beautiful  Holy Wine ceremony. It featured great Musical offerings by a trumpet player Larry Williams doing “America the Beautiful” and “Amazing grace” and was joined by Minister Magdalene Millsap. The Sadoc youth choir also performed in a powerful way. Thanks to the Millsap Family Church.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It featured the very charismatic and inspiring Archbishop George Augustus Stallings, Jr. of the Greater Imani Temple Catholic Congregation on Capitol Hill. His fantastic speech was entitled, “Get in the Boat”. Archbishop Stalling constantly challenge those minister who attend the breakfast to “come out from the box and bet in the Boat” He made beautiful illustration of how Jesus came out from own pulpit and get on boat to teach disciple and reach out to others. therefore as we are spiritual leader, we need to come out from own comfort zone to challenge ourselves to seek God’s kingdom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was a Report on Abstinence Education and the new government funding Free Teens program here in southern California, "Sweet" Alice Harris Executive Director, Parents of Watts. She is quite well known in the Southern California and she testified powerfully for the program which is now being taught in the schools. The program is run by Marcos Vega and long time Ambassador for Peace and Jack Ashworth.

There was a wonderful testimony from a Japanese Christian Pastor who is inspired by the Vision of ACLC, and He shouted towards Bishop Stalling saying “Bishop, I’m going to be on boat” And of cause a delicious breakfast was served and the Program ended with a powerful rendition of “Peace, Shalom, Salamalakum.”
