himself inexorably drawn to Jesus. Today he is a successful businessman and
popular Bible teacher living in London, Ontario with his wife, Diane, and their
three children. Their home has become a haven where many people seeking a deeper
purpose and meaning in life have found faith in God. He is the author of Becoming a God Magnet: The Secret
to Sharing Your Faith. Becoming a God Magnet has been featured in a

Music Minister of the
Week: Vickie
Winans
The Woman to Woman: Songs of
Life CD is the perfect capstone for a 20-year career that has seen Vickie
Winans receive many accolades including 6 Grammy Award nominations; 8 Stellar
Awards, and an NAACP Image Award. In that span of time, she’s released 9
projects, with 2003’s “BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER” debuting at #1 on Billboard’s
Gospel Chart.It’s doubtful that Vickie’s parents knew that their 7th child would
be a Billboard-charting gospel icon. But while singing her first solo in church
at the age of 8, it’s certain that Aaron and Mattie Bowman saw something special
in their daughter. Growing up in church in Detroit, MI, she honed her skills and
belted out songs stunning audiences time and time again. Eventually, she
connected with the Winans family who set her on the path to gospel
superstardom. Decades later, Vickie Winans is not only known as an
award-winning gospel recording artist, but she’s revered as a consummate
business woman that heads of Viviane, Inc. where she manages herself and books
hundreds of shows per year. She is also the President of her own record label,
Destiny Joy Records. An actress and a comedienne as well, she’s so thankful for
all that God has done for her. Vickie Winans knows she’s a blessed woman and
she’s eager to share her life’s experiences with everyone she comes in contact
with. Her infectious personality and her thousand-watt smile will disarm the
coldest stranger. “Although I’ve had my share of heartaches, pain, and sickness
over the years, I know that God has truly blessed me. It’s because of Him that I
have a fantastic family, great friends, and a rewarding career!” E-mail address: vwinans@aol.com. Website:www.vickiewinans.com.

The Encouraging Word for this
Week The Prayer Motivator for this
Week PRAYER QUOTE: "We must alter our
lives in order to alter our hearts, for it is impossible to live one way and

History: George Lisle -
February 23, 1814 -- The foundation of the Baptist Mission in Jamaica had been
laid by a few black and "coloured" men who had gone to the island from America
in 1782. Some of them had been slaves in the United States who had been granted
liberty by their owners. Some were Christians when they arrived in Jamaica,
while others had been converted after their arrival. The most noted were George
Lisle (the first ordained black in America), George Lewis, George Gibb and Moses
Baker. It was chiefly through Moses Baker's recruiting efforts that the English
Baptist Missionary Society took up missionary work in Jamaica. The first
missionary sent from England in response to Baker's pleas was John Rowe, who
landed at Montego Bay, February 23,
1814. Source: BlackChurchMissions.org For the latest news visit Black Christian News online

The Word of God for this Week
"And David was greatly
distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the
people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David
encouraged himself in the LORD his God.” — 1 Samuel 30:6
"God really is there. He really does exist, and He made us for
Himself. Knowing that He is there, and therefore that we do not live in a silent
universe, changes everything. To know that we can speak, and there is Someone
who will answer fills the vacuum of life that would otherwise be present. And
then, when we realize His love for us as individuals--that Christ really did die
for us as individuals, for us personally--life is entirely different." --Francis
A. Schaeffer
MOTIVATING VERSE: “Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in
time of need." —Hebrews 4:16
"He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall
doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." --Psalm
126:6
