To Our Pastor’s Wife When we thank God for our pastor We must give Him thanks for two, For when your husband came to us, God also sent us you.

A pastor’s wife must be many things, You have many hats to wear; And we say thanks for all you do And lift you up in prayer.

Your presence blesses all of us Who know you from day to day.

As our pastor’s wife, you are serving God In a fine and worthy way.

Thank you For Expressing Your Love Truly we feel blessed, knowing that if it had not been for the Lord who is on our side, we would not be where we are in this spirit of unity.

Thank you for sacrificing your precious time, joing this family in expression of God’s Beloved, Pastor Lorenzo and LadySebrina Edwards.

Congratulations!

Pastor Edwards, throughout our lives are all kinds of distractions and temptations such as worldly cares, wealth, and evil desires, threatening to choke off our commitment to the Lord.

Keep pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Your Sister, App. Missionary Debra Thomas

Miracle Cleanses Do you have a vision of victory for your life? Do you perceive victory in your every step?

Are you living each day filled with faith and expectancy? Do something new in your life right now! Can you not perceive it? God wants to do something new in your life today. Let go of your old way of thinking and take hold of the new things God has for you!! Behold I am doing a new thing, Can you not perceive it? (Isaiah 43:19).

My testimony What you should know?

For years, I hide myself from people because I didn’t want to be tease. Weighing 300 pounds and wearing a size 26 was unbearable. I was unconfident, uncomfortable, and had low self esteem; I wanted to be unnoticeable. So, I became a bashful and shy person. I got tired of seeing myself getting larger, eating more, and being sad. I had no energy, short of breath, and always tired. I couldn't understand why every diet I tried failed. I knew it was time for me to change after I saw myself on a home video. I said to myself, “I'm tried of being overweight”. This cleanse was my breaking point from Fat to Fab. I’m sharing this because I’m living proof that if it works for me, it can work for you. I feel and look my best and I would like to help others succeed their goals by starting off cleansing. It takes time and motivation. It’s priceless when it comes to your health.

Part 1 What you should know about the miracle cleanse?

This is the first phase of losing weight. We should cleanse twice a year, every 6 months.

Miracle cleanses is not refer as a diet but something we could add to our daily lifestyle. The cleanse work as a detox that purify the whole body. The cleanse help eliminate unwanted waste such as grease(fats) and fry food(meat red /beef) that seat in our system for years. It cleanses your lower and upper intestinal and cleans the blood for toxicities.
