WELCOME

elcome. 

I welcome you to my site

weary internet searcher

I welcome you to indulgence

in words of intelligence

 

To get lost in spiritual enrichment

and lyrical fulfillment

 

To relax and be real

I welcome you to look, listen and enjoy

 

I welcome you to my smile

my warmth and revelation

 

I welcome you to self-examination

to better yourself

love yourself

I welcome your prayer

and your prayer request

 

I welcome your growth

exploration of God and love eternal

discovery of truth and its beauty

 

I welcome your contact

and your purchase

 

Most of all I welcome you

to visit again

Let this not be the last time

your eyes and ears

meet my words

 

Be open and let this be the time you find

something worth being heard

PRAYER

I

f there is nothing that I believe in more, it is the power of prayer. 

Prayer changes things, it changes minds, and most of all it is our power to overcome those mountains that seem too tall to climb and too strong to breakdown.

 

Your need is very important to me. 

Please fill out the form below to contact me by email. 

You don't even have to use a real name or any real information for me to pray for you. 

 

I don't need to know all of your business or the whole situation.  But if you need prayer, fill it out and allow me to agree with you.  However your information is encouraged as I like to claim your victory by name.  Your privacy is protected here.

 

If you want to purge that is fine as well.  However, you cannot purge to me and not purge to God. 

You cannot purge to me and not repent to those who you have wronged and expect all to be forgiven. 

This is just a help, a first step.

 

God put me here as a servant.  Use me.

While all prayer requests are kept private, please type N/A instead of your name if you wish to remain anonymous. If you would like for me to pray with you over the phone, please list your number.

Success! Message received.

Healing KC

Healing KC

Healing KC is a community movement to acknowledge, honor, and remember the women who have been victims of violence in the Kansas City metro area. Though, the initiative began as a tribute to the women slain, we also work to give attention to the survivors and the families who have suffered as well. The name Healing KC derives from a collective of artist who decided to no longer identify or stand by the name Killa KC which the city adopted as a result of the alarming increase in homicides.
