Holy Hip-Hop Month at Oasis Family Life Church

Sup everybody
I know it's been a minute since I shared a few thoughts with you, but please excuse my absence and know ya man has been on his grind for Christ! I had to pull away a little and go back to the lab so to speak, out in the wilderness by myself and spend sometime with God. I had to start mentally preparing myself for what God is doin and is about to do to me and thru me.
I stay physically prepared but sometimes
we need to step away and get mentally prepared for what's about to go down!!!!
But not Im back, baby.... Let me catch you up....

The book SPIRITUAL MINDED da daily devotion for the hip-hop generation

Tonight Monday March 2nd I just got in from speaking to the Youth
at Oasis Family Life Church in Dallas, GA.
First let me give props to what they are doin over there at Oasis
Big up to my man, Carlos Torres the Youth Pastor who uses hip-hop as a tool to teach, reach and preach to the youth, it is an amazing thing to see. This month they are having they Holy Hip Hop Month and they invited ya boy down to help kick it off.
The youth ministry was really a beautiful thing to see as the youth held it down from the sound booth to the band to the praise and worship team. It is really great to see the youth on fire for the Lord, to find out more about the church check their website http://www.oasisfamilylife.com/clubo.htm
They set up the evening like a talk show, had the chairs on stage for me and Carlos and we just kicked it about hip hop and spirituality, promoted my book a little and answered question from the audience, largerly made up on the Youth Ministry. I really want to thank Carlos for seeing my vision and inviting me down to be a part of what they are doin.
The more I do these I am getting a little more comfortable with each speakin engagement! I will be doin much more speaking starting next month, but I will save that for another entry. Tonight I just wanted to big up Oasis, the Youth Ministry and their pastor for having the vision and the courage to step out of the box and the traditionalism that is pushing too many of our youth right out the doors of the church. If you are in the Atlanta areas, especially anywhere near Dallas, GA stop by Oasis and see how God is moving thru that place....
Thank you for letting me share this with you and I pray you all have a blessed day, HOLLA AT YA BOY!!!!!!
