Sunday, August 23, 2026, is a day I shall remember for the rest of my life. I am still in awe of the amazing power, presence, and praise of God! All my life, God has been faithful to me, and I am so grateful that He has allowed me to live long enough to see the fruit of my faithfulness.
I began the day worshiping with First Baptist Church Dallas, and what a sweet and wonderful fellowship it was!
Message: Stir Up the Gift�Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:5–7
Then came our afternoon celebration for TOPS Ministry, and it was absolutely phenomenal! Words cannot express the power and presence of God that filled the room. It was truly a divine experience that I will cherish forever.
To my Apostle, James L. Setzer, and Lady Misty:�Only God truly knows how much I love and appreciate you both. Every moment we have shared, every prayer we have prayed, every tear and every cry you have allowed me to share has meant more to me than words can express. I am so very grateful for everything you have poured into my life, and I continue to stand in your presence with an open heart, ready to receive even more of that great outpouring.
Thank you for blessing us and allowing God to use you to make this celebration greater than I could have ever imagined.
To my brother, my friend, and my co-laborer in the vineyard, Overseer Quintarro Smith:�Thank you for always being obedient to speak what God gives you to speak. My heart is overflowing with gratitude for the love that you and Victory Temple have shown me throughout this journey. That love has helped me stand when I felt like I couldn’t stand. I am so grateful for our godly connection, and I look forward to all that God has in store for us.
To Bishop Jerel Rollinson and Lady Rollinson, Bishop Donald Charles and Lady Charles, Elder Sheila Accor Givens, Dr. Rodney Glover, Pastor T. Berry Brown, Dr. Angela Berry Houser, and last but certainly not least, my brother Elder Kenneth Smith:
Thank you for your continued love, prayers, encouragement, and support. I love and appreciate each and every one of you. Please know that I will always be just a phone call away.
And to my TOPS Ministry family—BUCKLE UP YOUR SEATBELTS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
God is getting ready to take us on a Holy Ghost ride that we will remember for the rest of our lives! I love each and every one of you, and I believe with everything in me that God is taking us to our NEXT!
This is only the beginning.
Four years of purpose.�Thirty-one years of preaching.�A lifetime of God’s faithfulness.
And I can truly say:
“Thus far the Lord has helped us!”�
To God be ALL the glory for the great things He has done, is doing, and is yet to do!
