Grace and Peace to You! 

Samuel and I pray that you are resting and thriving in the Lord during this time of “sheltering in”. God is with us and because His Love endures forever, there is NO NEED TO FEAR (dread or be in terror)! 

As Samuel and I have been sheltering in, God has given us a deeper understanding as to why Holy Spirit instructed me to lay down everything that we were doing in New Beginnings Leadership Center in 2013-2015, to go and assess the condition of the Church (the people of God) in our Nation.  Our assessment included Christian leaders of various professions from the DMV, PA, NY, KS, and OH regions.  The assessment found over 150+ conditions hindering the Church (the people of God) from effectively advancing the Kingdom of God here on the earth.  The number one condition found was various FEARs.

As a result of our findings, we joined God as He redirected our entire focus over the last 7 years to equip leaders and those they lead in how to effectively overcome these various fears.  Because we surrendered to and obeyed the leading and strategy of the Holy Spirit, we have received testimony after testimony of the impact and effectiveness of how leaders’ lives have been transformed through our services and training.  

In addition, last year, the Lord began to impress upon my heart that it was time to release through various social media platforms some of what He has given us here at New Beginnings Leadership Center to help others.  As a result of COVID-19, the Holy Spirit is saying “the time is NOW” because there are so many people, including the people of God, living and walking in fear (dread or terror).  This should not be!  

If you have not seen or heard, we are setting up a Studio and you can now watch us on Facebook live and on our YouTube channel. In addition, we will also start offering some “mini” equipping sessions through our Zoom training room. 

Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, our goal is to provide times of equipping, engagement, and encouragement sessions that will help leaders and those they lead in how to be effective, efficient and productive in their Christian walk; especially during these perilous times.  

If you missed some of our earlier Facebook Live releases, no worry….we have attached a link to our YouTube page where you can experience them and other equipping and encouragement sessions at your convenience.   In addition, here is a written Word of Encouragement from Bishop La Fayette Scales, a member of our Spiritual Accountability Council.   

To stay in tune with our upcoming releases, please go to New Beginnings Leadership Center’s Facebook page and like the page or request to be our friend. You can also subscribe to our YouTube page and follow us on Instagram and twitter.   

And finally, let us remember “God is love and His love dwells in us and is perfected in us.  Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.  In this way God’s love is perfected in us, so that we may have boldness on the Day of Judgment because as He is, so are we in this world (during this pandemic—added for emphasis).  There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out all fear, because fear has to do with punishment. Whoever fears is not perfect (mature, full grown) in love” (1 John 4:16(b)-18 MEV).  Yet, sometimes we need a little help in how to walk this out in reality. Let us help you and those you lead!  

In Christ,
