From the New Living Translation of the Holy Bible:
REVELATIONS: 3:7
``Write to the Angels of the Churches of Philadelphia''
``This is the message from the one who is holy and true, the one who has the key of David. What he opens no one can close; and what he closes, no one can open.'' {End Quote}
Dear Church Commoners; Pastors; Church Friends and Followers and the Special People of the Church:
I write you today to let you know how vitally important you are during difficult times economically, in the Black Community. You keep the Castle of Hope Open and Brightly Lit; you hold our hearts up to GOD and ask Him to write the charter of our hearts and our lives; you lift our Spirits and allow us to receive the LOVe from GOD we rely on to go to work with Hope, Grace and Dignity and make it yet another day. The role our Churches play in the community can be and almost always is a positive one that can and often does have an incredibly positive impact on Black Lives. Your potential for Positive Good for the Community through your Missions, Community Work and through your outreach and your spreading of the word of GOD is Phenomenal and unlimited....
I am only sending this letter to encourage you to do More and Better work. I have one thing which I Pray you will understand is just a strong suggestion to make a few changes which will help the Community in a very Lasting and Basic Way. A friend of mine, Ms Debbie Simpson, was enlisted by her church several years ago to actually teach better nutrition and food preparation habits and skills to her disenfranchised church members. Many churches are Way, Way ahead of me and First Lady Michelle Obama on this issue. Some, not so much. Many Black churches are already serving healthier foods so we can all have healthier lives. People are eating less pork, les red meat, less beef, less fried foods, less butter, less sugar, less processed foods, less foods contaminated with pesticides and foods with less salt. Serving such healthier foods in Black Churches can have a Very Big Positive impact on improving health in our communities. We can actually also have a Big Positive impact on lowering health insurance rates as the result of healthier food consumption becomes a fact in our society. We Will all experience Lower Blood Pressure Rates, Healthier Blood Sugar Levels, more stabler and healthier heart rates, Lower Positive rates for cancer and healthier heart rates in general. I want to encourage you to serve healthier food including less mayonnaise, lower salt and sugar usage, and more fruits and vegetables. Sodas and PORK should be cut out altogether!!! Time grows short... GOD will Bless you for actually saving lives.
I encourage you to MOVE positively into the future by thinking more positively about nutrition, starting exercise programs through your church and pinpointing individuals who need specifically designated help through nutritionists, health professionals, and exercise trainers, etc. Such help might include, but not be limited to: having such people talk one-on-one with such professionals; having in-church discussions in groups {such as seminars, workshops and so forth...} with such professionals; and helping people avoid weight gain and improve their nutritional habits in other Ways. How weight gain impacts the joints and how people can avoid taking joint medicine by lowering body weight and avoiding certain foods that are high in traditional fats, salt, sugar and pesticides; and making it a Family Affair to exercise, lose weight, eat better and stay healthier, should be a church goal. I don't think Our Society can afford anything else.
In Jesus Name I ask you to make these positive changes and I want you to know how you are LOVEd and appreciated by people who care about our community.
If there is ANYTHING at-all I can do to help you in your work, please let me and my company {Brother Tracy Gibson and Associates, INc.} know. I also pray you will go about your work with Pride, Dignity, LOVe and Respect in your heart and the Liberation of the disenfranchised and oppressed from their economic, financial and mental bondage on your mind and in your heart and in your actions always. With LOVe, Respect and Dignity,
Brother Tracy Gibson,
President and Founder of the Black Millionaire's Network...
