Children: They need their parents With the current administrations policy separating children from their incarcerated parents rather than detaining families together once again we see that evil forces are constantly at work to destroy the foundations of righteousness and this nation… the family. God is Family. The Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit demonstrates family. There is no jeaously. No competition and there is always unity. It is my strong belief that Satan seeks to destroy God’s people and this nation by destroying the family and unfortunately despite your views on immigrants seeking asylum, their families are being destroyed in American by separation too. We have the answer, The answer to most of our issues is simple obedience to what our Lord has called us to do. Make disciples and baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If our government leadership were lead by the Spirit no doubt he would be seeking to strengthen families rather than weaken them no matter whether or not they remain in our country or not. Like wise an emphasis on doing whatever it takes to strengthen American families would not only strengthen and boost our economy, increase our GNP, and strengthen our national security, but its would also make America what is was before this current administration… Great again! - Pastor Rick

In 1998 Rachel was born in Livingston, New Jersey at Saint Barnabas Hospital. She was raised in Irvington, New Jersey for (14) years before relocating to West Orange, New Jersey. Her proud mother Brenda Greene loved her dearly and had an amazing taste for music, she would play old time gospel songs by Grace Thrillers, R&B and Caribbean music for countless hours. Rachel naturally took her mother’s Caribbean roots and sang along with the songs she heard. Rachel sang her first solo in church at the age of (6) and with that experience she began singing at church functions regularly. Later Rachel attended the Newark School of Arts for (2) years and received a certificate in voice training. Her mom was faithfully there for all the recitals, choir rehearsals and events. Rachel’s defining moment was when she sang at Shiloh Baptist at the age of (12). She was also inspired by the fact that her father Kenneth Bristol was the former lead vocalist of the acclaimed group “The New Jersey Connection. Also at the age of (12) she attended several studio sessions with her father, singing lead and background vocals. Rachel recalls how the Holy Spirit would move within her as she performed on stage along with her mentor whom she refers to as Aunt Johnnie, who happens to be her mother’s close friend. They were accompanied by anointed musicians Apostle Joseph Phillip and Brother Q, who has played a significant part of her vocal growth for (10) years. Her stepfather Pastor Rick Greene has been a spiritual guide and coach as well, pushing Rachel to be the best that she can be in all areas of her life. Rachel remains to be a spirited youth and now we are observing the humble beginnings of a rising gospel artist. She is surely one of the most talented artists of her generation. Rachel is evolving into a seasoned artist that’s certain to have longevity. Her voice is soft like velvet but demands the attention of a trumpet sounding the call to worship. “Love Letter” her first single to be released by Quality of Life Music describes her relationship with God and will surely open the hearts of many.

MINISTRY
Rev. Dr. Bernard J. Wilks, D Min. Apostolic Overseer Domion Fellowship Ministries
MINISTRY What is Christian ministry? "Ministry" is from the Greek word diakoneo, meaning "to serve" or douleuo, meaning "to serve as a slave." In the New Testament, ministry is seen as service to God and to other people in His name. Jesus provided the pattern for Christian ministry"He came, not to receive service, but to give it (see Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45; John 13:1-17). The Christian should minister by meeting people's needs with love and humility on Christ's behalf (see Matthew 20:26; Mark 10:43; John 2:5,9; Acts 6:3; Romans 1:1; Galatians 1:10; Colossians 4:12). Christians are to minister to others out of their devotion to Christ and their love for others, whether the other people are believers or unbelievers. Ministry to others should be impartial and unconditional, always seeking to help others as Jesus would. The ministry in our day has taken on more of a vocational meaning as we call pastors "ministers" to full-time service. Pastors do spend their lives in the ministry, they do minister to others, and they can rightly be designated as ministers, but pastors are not the only ones who are to be involved in ministry. From the early New Testament churches to the churches of our
Apostle J.E.S. Phillip M Th Founder & Co Pastor Petecostal Cathedral of Deliverance
day, each Christian should be in the ministry of helping others (see Romans 12:3-8, 10-13; 2 Timothy 2:24-26). The content of ministry seems to prioritize the ministering in spiritual things, not just practical things. Ministry should certainly place emphasis on sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others so they can come to know Him and receive Him as personal Savior, go on to experience Him as Lord of their life, and go even further to know Christ as the essence of their Life (see John 1:12; Colossians 2:6-7; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 3:8-10). Ministry can, and should, include ministering to the physical, emotional, mental, vocational, and financial needs of others. Jesus did, and so should we! www.GotQuestions.org

RELATIONSHIPS
So much of our time is spent at work that we forget what we are working for. We must work but most importantly we must spend time with our families. Or else we will not have a healthy, happy home. Our mates are the only ones on the planet who can fulfill our most intimate needs. When we deprive ourselves of intimate time together we are actually allowing room for a separation in our relationship. 20
