The Call and the

Wow!!! HealthFest 360!
ABOVE ALL THINGS MINISTRY
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper
and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” - III John 1:2
Judge Penny Brown Reynolds, Emmy-nominated multi-gifted national television personality, host of SisterTalk and founder of
The Judge Penny Brown Reynolds Foundation Inc. energizes the audience as she emphasizes the importance of spiritual health
at the ORR!!’s 1st Annual HealthFest 360 at Greenbriar Mall.
A
m I really healthy if I am not
healthy physically, mentally,
s o c i a l l y, s p i r i t u a l l y, a n d
financially? Of course not!!
She’d gotten lost spiritually which
then caused bad social choices. So,
ultimately the spiritual and social
diseases resulted in her death.
HealthFest 360 took place on October
10, 2015 at Greenbriar Mall. It was
a celebration for and promotion of
Total Health and well-rounded living.
Enjoy photos and videos of the event
at Facebook.com/OvergroundRR and
at HealthFest.org. Hear SisterTalk
host Judge Penny Brown Reynolds’
amazing story of overcoming
seemingly impossible obstacles as
she encourages our women to become
spiritually and physically healthy.
See pages 6-7 for more pictorial
highlights of this great event.
In furtherance of the OvergroundRR!!’s
mission of changing the economic
landscape of the Black community,
the ORR’s more than 100 churches,
160 businesses, and 40 community
organizations are now mobilizing the
community to become serious about
what it really means to be HEALTHY.
HealthFest 360 showed that the
community is ready to really get serious.
The ORR!! churches, businesses, and
community organizations recognize
that while we must improve our
economic plight, it will do little
good if we are diseased physically,
mentally, socially or spiritually. It is
like putting millions of dollars in a
pocket with a hole in it.
We lost a princess of our people
in Whitney Houston. According
to all reports she had no physical,
mental or financial deficiencies.
ORR!!®
In 2016, look for our new Health
section in The Conductor Newspaper
which will create awareness of
health-related issues that impact our
communities most.
Now of course we must never lose
focus of the primary mission of the
ORR!! After having gotten us off the
back of the bus, into the front doors of
stores, restaurants and hotels, into jobs
and careers we could not previously
have hoped to have, Dr. King told
us that the next leg of the freedom
journey is building our own economy.
(Listen to the video at www.Marching2March.org)
WE (You and I) must make the
necessary changes in our lives so
that we can enjoy TOTAL HEALTH!

Letter From the Chairman
Black Family Finances:
Black Families Need More Jobs and Money
Aaron Turpeau
ORR Chairman
A
fter giving some real
thought to this topic
including “saving,
budgeting, investments, living
below your joint income, private
vs. public schools etc.” the answer
surfaced again: Black Families
need more jobs and money.
Black Family Finances are tied
directly to The Stadium, The
Beltway, The Transportation Bill,
development of Buckhead, all
development north of I-20, and
lack of development south of I-20.
We must understand that 66% of
employees working for business
reflect the race of the owners of
that business. If Blacks are not
getting the public nor private
business opportunities, Black
families are fighting over 34% of
the job with all other minorities.
Too often the push for more
Black business opportunities on
local, state, church and college
projects are seen as benefits for
the particular Black business
person. The truth is Black firms

Host Pastor
Pastor Emeritus, Providence Missionary Baptist Church
Rev. Dr. Gerald L. Durley
In Memory of “The Emanuel 9”, the Overground RR would like to share
a beautiful litany filled with hope written by Bishop Adam J. Richardson,
inspired by the tragic and senseless murders in Charleston, SC.
The litany was recited in AME churches all across America.
The Doors of the Church
are Still Open
A Litany by Bishop Adam J. Richardson, June 21, 2015
Leader:
“The doors of the Church are open” is an announcement made at nearly
every service. It was regularly spoken at Emanuel Church of Charleston,
known to us as the “Mother” of African Methodism in the Deep South. As
members of the AME Family, we feel a connection with the Connection,
even on Father’s Day, and today our proud connection is more keenly felt.
People: O God, “The doors of the Church are still open.”
Leader:
Hate and Evil - armed and dangerous - came to an intergenerational Bible
Study and Prayer Meeting Wednesday night at Mother Emanuel, accompanied by unfathomable horror, leaving a trail of blood and hurt across the
African Methodist Connection, Charleston and the world.
People: O God, “the doors of the church are still open,” and still we
believe that “We sorrow not as those who have no hope.”
(1 Thessalonians 4:13)
Leader:
The “Emanuel Nine” had names - and families, and lives, and careers, and
places to go and things to do. They were colleagues, friends and kin: the
Honorable Rev. Clementa Pinckney (41), the Rev. Daniel “Super” Simmons (74), the Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton (45), Brother Tywanza
Sanders (26), Sister DePayne Middleton Doctor (49), Sister Cynthia Hurd
(54), Sister Myra Thompson (59), Sister Ethel Lance (70), and Sister Susie
Jackson (87). Then pure evil showed up at Bible Study and turned their
lives to past tense, and our lives to turmoil, and made an infamous name
for himself.
People: O God, “The doors of the church are still open,” and we
affirm Your Word that “Perfect love casts out fear.” (1 John 4:18)
Leader:
Our faith will not be stolen, even by violence as heinous as the assassination of nine innocent people, and the terror that left bodies wounded and
souls injured among those who survived the attack.
People: O God, “The doors of the church are still open,” and “our
faith looks up to Thee” and “will not shrink though pressed by every
foe.”
Leader:
The evil one wanted a race war, instead there came an outpouring of love,
sympathy and tears from white people; fervent prayers offered for him by
Black people. With shock and anger still wafting in the air, family members amazingly spoke words of forgiveness, and the community sang together and spoke of hope. We have learned at least this much in our walk
with God in Christ: “Unmerited suffering is still redemptive.”
People: O God, “The doors of the church are still open,” and we affirm Word of Christ, “Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not
let them be afraid. (John 14:27b)
Leader:
While we are called to a heightened sense of vigilance to protect the lives
of those who walk through “open doors” to find an open Altar, and to worship and study in peace, we will encourage ourselves in the Word of God,
in fellowship, sharing our mutual woes and joys.
People: Holy God, amid so much sorrow and so many questions,
we affirm Your Word, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation,
who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console
those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we
ourselves are consoled by God.”

in outreach ministry and nearing 20 years working their own
organization and ministry. Since its conception and reorganizing

programs, events, and resources to the disenfranchised, poverty
level children and families and senior citizens. These works and
efforts have been accomplished and amassed through Overseer
Andrews. She has cared for and serviced the less fortunate
for several years in the Greater Atlanta Area and surrounding
communities carrying the majority of the financial load upon her
back as well as the Bishop’s. Overseer Andrews has not received
a salary for her work and job since it has started but that hasn’t
stopped her yet. Like her Mission, she’s still on the move and we
want to spotlight, thank, and appreciate her for all of her hard work,
dedication and supplication. Bishop Eddie Andrews also dedicates
his time as well as his personal paycheck to the mission. They’ve
been going long and strong and their not done yet!

Statue Unveiled Honoring 11-time All-Star Dominique Wilkins
In March of this year, the Atlanta Hawks unveiled a large 13½ foot bronze statue with a granite base of franchise legend Dominique
Wilkins at Philips Arena. Wilkins, an 11-time All-Star known affectionately among Hawks fans as the “Human Highlight Film,” holds the
franchise record for points (23,292) and games played (882) over his 11½-season tenure in Atlanta. One of the NBA’s more dynamic
dunkers, Wilkins was the centerpiece of a Hawks team that won at least 50 games over four consecutive seasons in the 1980s
In 2000, Wilkins joined the Hawks in an official capacity as the special assistant to the organization’s executive vice president. In
2004, Wilkins was named vice president of basketball, where he has often represented the organization in the public sphere and
performed various ambassadorial functions.

After being diagnosed with diabetes, Dominique has become an active member in the diabetes community in hopes of educating
and raising awareness about the disease.

Professor Devin), founded Urban Business Institute
to assist urban entrepreneurs develop their ideas
or improve their businesses through the company’s
Small Business Academy. Robinson says that he also
started UBI as a resource for individuals who need
assistance in running a successful business without
being subjected to the lengthy process of college and
for those who have no access to college. What’s so
important about the Urban Business market? “The
urban business market is filled with consumers who
have the disposable income and the creativity to
succeed in business, however, the statistics show
an unfair balance in the lack of business ownership”,
said Robinson.
In 2013 the academy received a grant from
the Obama’s Administration federal Economic
Development Agency to train small businesses in
disaster areas and has since trained thousands of
student entrepreneurs and is now available in 14

A Message from The Chief Convener
Money and Vacations:
Statistics show that an overwhelming majority of African-Americans never take a vacation.
The number one reason they give is lack of money.
H
Rev. Timothy McDonald, III
“For more than
40 years, I have
operated under
the 10-10-80 Plan.
What I mean by
this is my first 10%
I give to God; my
second 10% I give
to myself, and I
live off the 80%.
Too many African
Americans are
trying to live above
their means, and
therefore we are
consumed by debt
and ‘robbing Peter
to pay Paul’.”
ave you ever considered
the fact that there are
more scriptures that
deal with property
and money than there are that
deal with love, faith, hope and
forgiveness, combined? A close
examination of the parables of
Jesus will demonstrate that 70% of
the parables are related to property
and money. The bible has a lot to
say about how we should relate to
money and property. The Bible is
also clear that money is not evil, it
is the love of money that is evil. It
is when money and the pursuit of it
becomes the most important thing
in our lives.
All work is honorable work.
However, working just so that one
can be able to pay one’s bills is not
honorable -- nor is it God’s intent
for your life. The scriptures say that
you shall have life and that you shall
have it more abundantly. Statistics
show that an overwhelming majority
of African-Americans never take a
vacation. The number one reason
they give is lack of money. I suspect
that this is true in far too many
cases. We work and work and work
so that we can pay mortgage, rent,
car notes, buy clothes, eat out, and
spend our lives keeping up with the
Joneses.
For more than 40 years, I have
operated under the 10-10-80 Plan.
What I mean by this is my first 10%
I give to God; my second 10% I give
to myself, and I live off the 80%.
Too many African Americans are
trying to live above their means,
and therefore we are consumed by
debt and ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul’.
We are too busy trying to impress
people that we don’t even like and
look prosperous to people we don’t
even care about. All work and no
play is not good for the Spirit, the
Mind, nor the Body. Every person,
every couple, every family needs
to find time for a vacation. It is
NOT about how much money you
make. It is about what you do with

Capitol City Bank and Trust Company:
An Economic Catalyst in the Community for Over 20 Years
C
apitol City Bank, an African-American owned and operated financial
institution in Georgia, proudly empowered the community by providing
opportunities for entrepreneurship, business development and a fertile
environment for economic growth.
In April 1992, Capitol City Bank and Trust Company was founded by Mr. George
Andrews and several organizers. In the early part of 1994, they officially opened two
branches simultaneously: West End branch and the Cascade branch. The bank was
founded on the principles of:
•
•
•
Self-empowerment
Integrity
“Sky is the limit” goal achievement
Mr. Andrews, former Capitol City Bank and Trust President & CEO, is a native of
Atlanta and grew up in the West End community when it was very prosperous and
industrious. The West End Community consisted of movers and shakers and continued
to be prosperous and industrious until the “Great White Flight”.
After college, Mr. Andrews joined SunTrust Bank. While working on various
assignments outside of his community, he realized how important a bank is to the wellbeing of a community in that it operates as an economic catalyst for entrepreneurship,
business development and other opportunities that make an environment fertile for
economic growth. Upon this realization, Mr. Andrews felt compelled to start a bank
in the West End community that would be owned and operated by the people of
the community so they could replicate and duplicate what other communities have
experienced over the years.
Bank of America, known as NationsBank at the time wanted to close several of its
facilities in the Black community. Mr. Andrews decided that he and his community
could provide an exit strategy that made sense for NationsBank and would benefit the
Black community as well. So NationsBank sold them the West End Branch and the
Cascade Branch and they made history by becoming the only bank chartered in the
state of George to receive a bank charter with a branch and a main office.
Mission: Empowering the People it Served
The mission of Capitol City Bank was to create an African-American owned and
operated financial institution that would empower the people it served. The bank
was unique in that it would not simply decline loans because individual clients did
not qualify for a loan -- but would educate their clients by providing resources and
knowledge that would teach them how to come up to the bar in order to qualify.
Capitol City Bank and Trust was also unique in that clients had an opportunity to talk
with decision makers and someone who could understand banking issues unique to
African-Americans. “You have an advantage of not only getting your financial needs
taken care of, but in helping the community to grow because your investment stays in
the community, which makes the community stronger,” said Mr. Andrews.
Branches and locations
During its 21-year life span, Capitol City Bank opened and operated eight branches
across the state of Georgia including:
1.

8.
West End, Atlanta, GA
Cascade, Atlanta, GA
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport
Albany, GA
Savannah, GA
Stone Mountain, GA
Augusta, GA
Peachtree, Atlanta GA
Expansion was relatively easy because people liked what the bank was doing and there
was a market for the services provided. In addition to their eight branches, Capitol
City Bank had 12 ATM machines across Georgia, and at the height of their business,
Capitol City Bank employed 115 people and served over 20,000 customers and over
1,700 shareholders. Capitol City Bank’s customer base was racially-diverse with the
minority community (African-Americans, Indians, Asians, Hispanic) making up 75%
and the majority Community equaling 25%.
car loans, home loans, equity loans, personal lines of credit and receivable financing.
But Mr. Andrews is most proud of the commercial services the bank provided including
providing capital for many of the first-time concessionaries at Hartsfield-Jackson
International Airport. “I’m most proud of the commercial lending activities because
I think that’s where the rubber meets the road in the sense that we helped individuals
start their businesses or finance expansions,” said Mr. Andrews.
The Great Recession
Prior to the Great Recession, Capitol City Bank was extremely successful. “In 2007,
U.S. Bankers rated us as the 134th best bank out of over 18,000 community banks
across the country in terms of ROE (Return on Owner’s Equity) and ROA (Return on
Assets). There were only two banks out of 400 in Georgia that made the list, and we
were one of them. We exceeded our goal of empowering the community and giving
our shareholders a good return on their investment,” Mr. Andrews said.

Q & A with the U.S. Small Business Administration’s
Georgia District Director Terri Denison
SBA Georgia District Director Terri Denison gives ORR!! readers valuable insight
on how the SBA can impact the creation and growth of small businesses.
The ORR!: What is the purpose of the SBA?
Ms. Denison: The U.S. Small Business Administration
(SBA), is a Federal government agency created in 1953 to
support the creation and growth of small business.
ownership by minorities, women or veterans.
•
The ORR!: Describe the core resources the SBA makes
available to prospective and existing small businesses:
Ms. Denison: The SBA emphasizes the three Cs:
1) Counseling, 2) Capital and 3) Contracting.
1) Counseling and Training
The SBA has a variety of resources to provide the bulk of
the counseling and training including SCORE, a volunteer
partner organization, in which active and retired executives
provide free, one-on-one consultations and also provide
training opportunities on a variety of business subjects. The
SBA Georgia District Office also partners with the University
of Georgia to in the state’s Small Business Development
Center Network. Georgia’s SBDCs focus on existing
businesses looking to scale up or address challenges. They
provide free consultation services as well as at-cost training
on a variety of business subjects. The SBA also has two
Women’s Business Centers in Metro Atlanta, which typically
focus on counseling and training for Women entrepreneurs
who have start-up and existing businesses.
Online Training
The SBA has an online presence that includes several training
modules. The SBA website, www.sba.gov, gives small
business owners access to over 50 free training modules
covering an array of topics including writing business plans,
marketing, government contracting, business start-ups and
much more. Ms. Denison recommends going online and
familiarizing yourself with the training modules before
meeting with a counselor in person.
2) Capital
The SBA assists in this arena mainly through loan guarantees
on loans made by commercial lenders that participate in the
SBA program. The SBA has a microloan program, which is
a lending program that provides funds to qualified nonprofit
organizations to make small loans up to $50,000 and provide
technical assistance both pre-loan and post-loan to those
borrowers. There is also a Surety Bond Guaranty Program for
construction companies and others who are required to obtain
surety bonding. The SBA will guarantee bid, performance and
payment bonds for contracts up to $6.5 million for Federal,
State, and local government and private sector contracts. The
guarantee helps those businesses increase more rapidly their
bonding capacity.
Loan Programs: While there are several loan programs and
program variations, Ms. Denison highlights the top three SBA
programs for accessing capital:
•
•
7A Loan Guarantee Program: This program is very
broad. This guarantee can be used for loans that cover
a variety of uses such as inventory, working capital,
machinery and equipment, commercial real estate,
facilitating an existing business purchase, and in some
cases refinancing an existing business debt to help
businesses consolidate debt, have better credit terms and
improve their cash flow.
504 Loan Program: This is a fixed asset financing
program. It is used mainly for commercial real estate
transactions, for instance if you have been leasing a
space and now want to purchase a building. There are
two advantages of this program: The first advantage is
that the borrower usually has to put in only 10% of the
total project cost versus 20-25% in regular commercial
lending. The second advantage is that it is a fixed rate
as opposed to a variable rate. That rate is tied to the
U.S. Treasury rate rather than the prime rate. It can also
be used to purchase long-life production equipment
with a useful life of 10 years or more. This program
focuses on projects that will create and retain jobs or
meet some other public policy goal such as investing in
an economically distressed area or supporting business
10
TERRI DENISON
“It’s important to realize that business
ownership is a continuous process.
You never arrive and know everything
you need to know. The world is
changing; the economy is changing;
and just as you learn and master one
set of skills or information, the playing
field shifts.”
Terri Denison is the Georgia District Director
of the U.S. Small Business Administration
(SBA). In this role since May 2002, she is
responsible for overseeing the implementation
of the SBA’s financial, counseling/training and
business development programs for small
businesses throughout Georgia.
Terri began her SBA career in 1987 as a
Presidential Management Fellow at the
Agency’s Washington, D. C. District and
Headquarter Offices. Other positions included
working with the Agency’s Minority Enterprise
Development and One Stop Capital Shop
programs and Office of Field Operations. In
1994, she served as the SBA representative
on the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development’s Empowerment Zone/
Enterprise Community Interagency Task
Force.
In the fall of 2000, she was one of seven
individuals nationwide selected for the SBA’s
District Director’s Candidate Development
Program. Assignments included serving as
the Acting Deputy District Director in the Los
Angeles District Office and the Acting District
Director in Wisconsin.
As Georgia District Director, Terri has been
recognized by the Atlanta Business League,
Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,
Georgia Microenterprise Network, Greater
Atlanta Economic Alliance, Atlanta Business
Chronicle and Who’s Who in Black Atlanta.
Terri holds a B.A. Degree in American
Government from Cornell University and an
M.A. Degree in Urban Studies from Trinity
University in San Antonio, Texas. She is also a
graduate of the Federal Executive Institute in
Charlottesville, Virginia.
A native of Corpus Christi, Texas, Terri currently
serves as the Vice President of the Cornell
Alumni Association of Atlanta and a member of
the Cornell University Council. Other personal
interests include ballroom dancing and travel.
Micro loan Program: Delivered by nonprofit
organizations that have experience in providing
small loans and providing management and technical
assistance to small business owners. The SBA program
loans up to $50,000. There are a couple of micro lenders
serving the Metro Atlanta area.
3) Contracting:
The SBA’s primary focus is on Federal Contracting. The
SBA has several certification programs they oversee to
help facilitate federal contracting. One of the most familiar
programs is the 8A Development Program. The 8A program
is for minority-owned firms or firms that otherwise meet
the program’s “socially and economically disadvantaged”
criteria to participate. Participation is up to nine years. There
are certain benefits that will help firms enter the procurement
arena within the first 5 years, called the developmental stage.
For instance, participating firms can be awarded contracts
noncompetitively through the program’s sole source authority
based on their capabilities and “fair and reasonable” pricing.
The idea is to create an environment where companies can
become acquainted with federal procurement, get contacts
with various contracting officers and entities. In the final 4
years, SBA assists the firms in developing a transition plan
to help them move away from sole source contracting to
competitive procurement.
The ORR!: When it comes to Blacks qualifying and
obtaining capital at disproportionate levels, what are some
of the common factors or themes you have recognized?
Ms. Denison: Three general themes I have encountered
include:
1. Lack of Preparation: This includes not having
appropriate information, an incomplete or non-existing
business plan and a misunderstanding of the commercial
lending process. Educating the Black community on
the commercial lending process is key. For instance,
the Small Business Development Center Network has
developed a 2-day workshop called The Credit School,
which teaches people the mindset of commercial lenders
and other factors that influence being able to obtain
financing.
2. Low Credit Scores / Credit Blemishes on Credit
History: There is a need to educate Black business
owners on how specific factors affect their credit scores
and help them to devise a plan to address it.
3. Lack of Equity Injection: Educating business owners
that you have to bring something to the table. Some
lenders will accept an equity injection of 10%. Often,
it closer to 20% or 25% in conventional lending.
The ORR!: How do Black businesses close the gap on
competing and obtaining government contracts? What
are practical solutions to the identified challenges?
Ms. Denison: The contracting opportunities are getting
bigger due to contract consolidations. One way to address
this challenge is joint-venturing and teaming. Ms. Denison
advises small businesses to team with a larger business
or more experienced business to gain experience. Small
businesses may have to be a subcontractor first, but the
experience is worth it. Joining forces with other small,
minority-owned businesses to address the capacity issue is
also another strategy.
“It’s important to realize that business ownership is a
continuous process. You never arrive and know everything
you need to know. The world is changing; the economy is
changing; and just as you learn and master one set of skills
or information, the playing field shifts,” said Ms. Denison.
Ms. Denison advises business owners to “Network, network,
network! Businesses need to make contacts and partners by
going to tradeshows and procurement match-making events
where you meet buyers. Business owners also need to have
a concise capability statement and 30-second elevator pitch.”

Engaged in Active Soul-winning Service for God
T
America, Africa, Bahamas, Bermuda,
Canada, England, France, Italy, New
Zealand, and Scotland. He is married to
his wife and love of 35 years, Wynona
Wimbish. God has blessed this union
with three children, Devon, Deneil, and
Deshawn.
he history of the West End Seventhday Adventist Church extends
back to 1983 under the leadership
of Conference President Elder Ralph B.
Hairston. President Ralph B. Hairston
issued a challenge to Evangelist Oscar Lane,
Jr. of Los Angeles, California to conduct
a tent meeting in Southwest Atlanta. The
meetings began on July 4, 1983 and were
held under the “BIG RED TENT” on the
corner of Lee and Oglethorpe Streets.
Evangelist Lane delivered the word of God
nightly. God greatly blessed this effort with
1,353 souls. 700 of those 1,353 baptized
were new converts. Members from other
Seventh-day Adventist Churches joined
together with these new believers and
formed the West End SDA Church.
Under the leadership of Pastor Preston,
Westend SDA Church membership has
increased both by transfers from other
churches and over 300 newly baptized
souls!
The church has conducted
several successful evangelistic crusades,
Community Outreach and Prison Ministry
programs, Revelation and Daniel Seminars,
and conducted several Bible Studies.
In December, 2008, The Westend SDA
Church paid off their mortgage. Shortly
thereafter, they completed an “Extreme
Makeover” of the church and property,
including a new fence surrounding the
property, complete renovations to and
addition of restroom, new roofing, HVAC,
sanctuary interior décor, pulpit, sound
system, lighting, carpet, pews, foyer and
the fellowship hall.
The first meeting of the newly organized
group was held at the West Hunter Street
Baptist Church on August 20, 1983. Still
in search of a home, the young church was
permitted to hold services in the Brown
High School Auditorium on Peoples Street.
The first Pastor to serve the new church
was Pastor F.W. Parker who was assisted
by the late Pastor C.D. Henri, Pastor C.L.
Humphrey and Pastor Carl Nesmith.
In July of 1984, the church continued to
achieve new heights of spiritual, social,
and educational accomplishments under
the youthful, dynamic leadership of
Pastor Ernest B. Young, who came from
the Southeastern Conference. Seeing the
need for a permanent church home, Pastor
Ernest B. Young immediately set out to
secure property in Southwest Atlanta for
the construction of a church building.
On March 31, 1985, Pastor Ernest B. Young
called the congregation together to conduct
a ground-breaking ceremony. Estimated
cost of the lot was $120,000 and the total
cost of the edifice was $1.7 million dollars.
The Church members walked to the open
church lot and held services on the old
stones and never returned to Brown High
School Auditorium again. Pastor Young
held a four-week tent crusade on the
church site in the summer of 1988, which
resulted in 43 baptized souls. The church
continued to meet in the tent following the
crusade with hopes of transferring to the
new edifice before the winter, but delays
in construction forced them to seek other
accommodations for the winter. The
Pastor and members of the Second Mount
Olive Baptist Church graciously opened

the doors of their church so the church
members could be sheltered from the cold.
Grand Opening and Dedication of
the New West End SDA Church
In the Spring of 1989, the church edifice
was completed and on May 13th, the
congregation celebrated the grand opening
and held a dedication for the new West
End SDA Church. Several great leaders
followed, and in August 2006, the current
pastor, world-renowned Pastor Calvin B.
Preston began serving as the shepherd of
the Westend SDA flock.
Pastor Calvin B. Preston
Leader and visionary Pastor Calvin B.
Preston was born and raised in Columbia,
South Carolina. He has a Bachelor of
Arts degree in Theology from Oakwood
University in Huntsville, Alabama and
a Master of Arts degree in Religion with
emphasis in Church Administration from
Andrews University in Berrien Springs,
Michigan. Pastor Preston has pastored
several Seventh-Day Adventists churches
in Georgia and North Carolina. God has
used Pastor Preston to spread the gospel
message and win souls for the kingdom
of God in evangelistic meetings across
Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible
as their only creed and hold certain
fundamental beliefs to be the teaching
of the Holy Scriptures. These beliefs
constitute the church’s understanding and
expression of the teaching of Scripture.
Revision of these statements may be
expected at a General Conference session
when the church is led by the Holy Spirit
to a fuller understanding of Bible truth or
finds better language in which to express
the teachings of God’s Holy Word.
Ministries and Community
Outreach
West End SDA Church has over 33
internal active ministries whose goal is to
reach those seeking and desiring a new
relationship with Christ; to edify the body
of Christ; nurture the spiritual growth
of mankind, and support and aid those
in need. Westend SDA Church believes
in community outreach and serves the
community through their Prison Ministry

Key Features of The Affordable Care Act
President Obama’s Health Care Reform, commonly called Obamacare, but officially called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) or the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for short, was signed into law on March 23, 2010. The ACA is meant
to “provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans, reduce the growth in health care spending, and for other purposes.”
The Affordable Care Act is a part of an ongoing effort for decades to reform the national health care system. Health care reform
has taken great strides under President Obama and millions are now insured!
The Affordable Care Act puts consumers back in charge of their health care. Under the law, a new “Patient’s Bill of Rights” gives
the American people the stability and flexibility they need to make informed choices about their health. Key features of The Afford Care Act include:

Concerned Black Clergy Is Helping Families
Manage Their Financial Resources
n 2010 the Concerned Black Clergy of Metropolitan Atlanta
in collaboration with Wells Fargo Bank began facilitating a
Money Management and Financial Literacy program through
churches in the Atlanta area in response to the challenging
circumstances many people were facing due to the recession
that was affecting the American and global economy. Since
that time these two entities have worked together in an effort to
return consumers to solid banking practices and quality money
management skills.
This has been an important step in the right direction. Many
households in our community are challenged by their economic
circumstances. Many of them are active in our churches.
However, the seminars being conducted give us an opportunity
to put people on the right track financially.
At present we have been able to positively impact over one
thousand persons in metro Atlanta. Each person who has
previously attended our seminars has shared that they have
received the information they need to live a better quality of
life. The only negative response from our surveys indicates
that we need to do more of them. Thus we are continuing this
important work of transforming the financial habits of families
and individuals in the African American community.
Some of the important topics discussed include Basics of
Banking; Credit; Home Preservation; Retirement; Student Loans
and a session on Small Business Development. All are vital in
helping families develop strong habits of better managing their
resources.
Interested persons may contact the Concerned Black Clergy
We often hear conversations about economic empowerment, but office at 404-755-4900 or log onto our website at www.

F
or 71 years, Carver has enjoyed
a strong reputation for producing
men and women who have made
a huge difference from a variety of ministry platforms, particularly the pastorate
and the mission field.
In 2010 Carver included in its five-year
strategic plan to expand its academic offerings and thus, expand the vision of
the college to not only prepare men and
women for the ministry but also for the
marketplace.
That vision became reality on May 2,
2015 when Carver conferred its first
Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology upon
Emmanuel Griffin of Lithonia, Georgia. Emmanuel, a second generation
Carver grad (cum laude) was also a stand
out basketball player for the Cougars.
It’s literally a dream come true!!! In fact,
this past year, Carver enrolled 52 new
students in our Psychology degree
program who otherwise would have
never attended Carver.
Carmen Smith is one
of those students. Carmen is from Jackson,
Mississippi and desires
to utilize her skills in
Psychology to empower
women, to transform their lives, particularly those who’ve been abused and given to various kinds of addictions.
Though he won’t graduate until 2017, Jimmy
Danladi also represents
the unfolding of our
vision to expand our
academic offerings. He
came to Carver to pursue a Bachelor’s
of Science in Business Administration.
Jimmy is from Kaduna, Nigeria and has
entrepreneurial ambitions.

of our Business Division at Carver says

enrollment in the Business Division will

CHRISTIAN DECLARATION OF POSITION REGARDING MARRIAGE
1. As a Christian, with all of my faults and shortcomings, I must look to the Bible to define what marriage is and what marriage is not.
2. Marriage according to the Bible is between a man and a woman. (Genesis 2:24 - “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave
unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”).
3. The relationship was established by God between the first man Adam and the first woman Eve, both created by God. (Genesis 2:20 - 25).
4. Though the Bible is my guide, support for homosexual marriages cannot be found even in non-biblical sources. Every system of faith (whether it was
called a religion or not) which has had any wide recognition in human history has recognized that marriage is only between men and women, never
between persons of the same sex. “The first country to allow same-sex couples to enter into legally recognized marriage was the Netherlands, effective in
2001.” Wikipedia, Same-sex marriage.
5. Even when marriage has been defined to include polygamy, it was always between men and women, never between several men or several women. As
shown in Wikipedia, Same-sex marriage, homosexual “marriages” is a recent invention beginning in the Netherlands in 2001.
6. Indeed the Bible is very plain, in both the old and new testament, that homosexual behavior cannot be approved.
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22).
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools; And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man,
and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things; Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishon
our their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is
blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise
also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving
in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a
reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. (Romans 1:22 - 26).
7. None of this is to say that homosexual behavior is the only sexual behavior unacceptable by the Bible. Sexual intercourse outside of marriage
between a man and a woman is also prohibited. (Exodus 20:14 - “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”; Romans 13:9 - “...Thou shalt not commit adul
tery...”).
8. At any large gathering of Christians there is likely to be many who have committed, are committing, and/or within a short period of time after that gathering will commit, adultery. Indeed David, God’s chosen servant, committed adultery. (2 Samuel 11th and 12th chapters).
9. However, there is no movement afoot to stop the Church from preaching the Biblical teachings against adultery. A very large percentage of people who have committed adultery claim to be driven by biological urges which they cannot resist. This is similar to the claims of those who advocate homosexual marriages.
10. We have all fallen and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23 - “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”) This includes heterosexuals as well as homosexuals. But it is not God or the Bible that must change. We must change.
11. The fundamental message of the Christian faith as stated by Jesus is “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” (John 3:7). And, “For God
so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16).
12. As much as I love my homosexual relatives and friends, I cannot go against God and the Bible to endorse homosexual marriage. I respect their choice to
not follow the Bible in their personal lives, just as I respect the right of persons to commit adultery.
13. But my respect for a person’s right to make a private choice does not justify my endorsement of that which the Bible clearly states is wrong. It would be a
violation of my conscience and my relationship with God, as well as an encouragement for others to do wrong, for which I would be responsible to my
family, society in general and GOD.
14. Likewise I stand strongly opposed to any violence against those involved in homosexual behavior. Any act of violence against a person because of homosexual behavior is a sin in and of itself, as well as a crime which should and must be prosecuted.
15. It must be clearly understood that the Church must preach the gospel which includes the loving teaching to repent for all sin including homosexual behavior. (Matthew 28: 19-20 - “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen).
It is imperative that a clear statement of the position of Christians regarding this issue be put forth.
“For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” (1 Corinthians 14:8).
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12).
This is not homophobia, which those who seek to silence dialogue quickly label anyone who disagrees with them. This is homolove.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John
3:16).
