One of our own Brother Doulos has his book published on Amazon, check it out…

Doulos was born Kifani Thompson to a Married African American couple in 1975. His father abandoned His mother at the age of two and set off a cycle of events that have framed his life. Being born in the “Jungle Projects” of Los Angeles California; Doulos had better odds for death then of success. Growing up in the Gang, Crime, and Drug infested streets of Los Angeles Doulos had one goal; make it out alive with all his faculties’ intact. Doulos accomplished escaping the hood but no matter how far he got he could never forget those he left behind. As the years past and the effects of the Hood began to destroy lives close to Doulos he decided to take action. Doulos is a Music Artist, and Speaker, Urban Missionary, Youth Counselor, and Gang Outreach Counselor. Doulos founded the Urban Missionary Project (UMP) while on Tour in March 2007. The UMP goal is to save this dying generation through entertainment and media outlets. Doulos wholeheartedly believes that the gospel of Jesus Christ lived out is what is missing in; people, families, communities, churches, America, and the World. Doulos now begins His next journey as an Author. Doulos has always been a writer he wrote his first song at nine years old. Doulos has a lot to share, Hood years are like dog years; which gives Doulos wisdom 3 times his age. With each outreach and each story told; it was apparent a book had to be penned. How did Doulos survive one of the most notorious Gang Neighborhoods in Los Angeles California? How did he do it without joining a gang, being arrested, or selling drugs? How did he rise above all these things to go back and be a ray of light in these communities? The life saving and Changing message of Jesus Christ is how; and is still the only sure remedy for the ills of life. Doulos is now married to a wonderful wife of Thirteen years and has 4 wonderful children. He currently resides in Bakersfield California. Doulos has dedicated his life to effecting change in Urban communities and spends most of his free time reaching out to the forgotten ones; the undesirables that the church has casted aside. Doulos describes his passion best on a song from his 3rd Christian rap album titled “The Kingdom Strikes Back”; “I’ve seen enough death, seen enough violence, that something inside me just can’t stay silent!”

“For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed-(Luke 9:26).” In today’s society the term Christian is used very lightly. There are many titles given to Christians; devout, carnal, lukewarm, and Sunday Christians. All may have indeed professed Christ, but not all poses Him. Biblically speaking, a Christian is either ashamed or not ashamed. This book will take you through the journey from a profession to passionate unabated relationship with Jesus. It will give you practical, real life example of how God transformed Doulos’ life from ashamed to unashamed. Are you stuck in your old life, dying to truly live the Christian life? Do you desire to more passionately witness Christ? Is there is more to Christianity than you are experiencing? Not Ashamed will answer these Questions and and More!

Pastors gang up on city gangs
Lancaster Newspapers – Lancaster,PA,USA
Phil Hernandez grew up as one of seven children. His father was worried about money. His mother was in “survival mode,” coping with her kids and her household.

The family lived in a poor neighborhood in New York City, where crime was common and good things happened rarely.

Those are the conditions in which gangs thrive. Hernandez wasn’t immune. He got involved in a gang.

Hernandez, the senior pastor of In the Light Ministries, understands how and why kids join gangs. There’s a way to keep that from happening, he said, but it takes commitment.

He and fellow pastors in Lancaster have come together to be part of a community-wide answer to the problem of gang violence — an answer that will begin to take shape at a Saturday, May 2, fundraising walk sponsored by the United Ministerium called “Stop the Madness.”

As part of what we’re doing we’re going to focus on some gang ministries and those involved with them. Here’s our first: Dr Levon Davis

A little over 14 years ago, Dr. Levon Davis was surrounded by a very different set of circumstances.  He was sitting in a prison cell at the California Youth Authority in Los Angeles, California.  He had been given a life sentence and was waiting for extradition papers from Florida as he was confronted with drug trafficking charges and the death penalty.  Dr. Davis had participated in a double homicide during a drug deal gone bad, and had arranged what was to be his most electrifying and heart stopping date with an electric chair.

“You don’t wake up and just say I’m going to kill somebody.  Events have happened in your life, that has brought you into this mentality,” says Davis.  “It takes a few friends dying to lose feeling.  A couple times of that, and you have no feelings about taking another person’s life.  You don’t feel sorry, and you have no remorse,” explained Davis.  “Money became my god, and the sale of drugs became my life.  This type of lifestyle led to all types of crime, sin, and every possible ungodly thing that you could think of.  People think that drug dealing is a glamorous life, but they don’t see the background of it; the stress; the callousness; it has no value.”
