CAMPAIGN MISSION: TO ENSURE OUR CONSCIOUS FUTURE LEADERS A MEMORABLE, POSITIVE EXPERIENCE THROUGH KNOWLEDGEABLE TEACHINGS AND SELF-EXPRESSIVE MATERIAL FULFILLMENT
FTP Youth Campaign founded in honor of Tupac Shakur
"The Revolutionary Charity"
Imagine a Charity designated just for children in poverty that gives the youth the power and privilege of choosing what they will receive. No warehouse of donated items existing, but their unique choice of items to fit their personalites handed to them from the swipe of a debit card. No Government funding, yet still successful because of the community support received. Picture a Charity that gives back to the Communities who supported its cause and supports businesses who put their faith, acknowledgement and compassion in them. Now allow me to introduce you to the nationwide FTP Youth Campaign, The Revolutionary Charity here to empower the impoverished Children to Rize and Shine. FTP stands for Faith, Trust, and Patience.
Founded in July of 2007, the FTP Youth Campaign has been adopted by Senior Pastor/ International Bishop Brehon Hall's New Psalmist Church in East Toledo. The upcoming After-School Program will be providing the Campaign Souljahz with fundamental teachings and various activities to encourage them to stay positively focused on their dreams and future.
The Campaign was founded by Becca Gonzalez, a 28-year-old single mother of 3, who consciously recognized the poverty that exists nationwide and set out to start this movement in hopes of redirecting the futures of the children at risk of becoming victims of the System and create those "Changes" Tupac Shakur wished to see before his assassination in 1996. The mission of this movement is to ensure our conscious future leaders a memorable, positive experience through knowledgeable teachings and self-expressive material fulfillment. 2Pac said "We all Souljahz in God's eyes", so each child in this military-themed Campaign is called a Souljah, because they combat struggle with strength.
The people that have encouraged me to start this campaign, who put their Faith, Trust, and Patience in me. R.I.P. 2Pac Shakur, my number one reason I started this Campaign. Rev Run, Paris Hilton, Oprah Winfrey, anyone who's had a dream and actively made it happen, and anyone who would like to see these children's wishlists come to life and instill more Faith, Trust, and Patience into them.
Alright, It's testomony time!!! I'll start it! LOL! First giving honor to God, who is worthy of ALL MY praise! I had not mention this to many people, cause God didn't lead me to. But after my surgery, My docotor told me I had cancer. Told me I was in the 3rd stage.... Sent me to a specialist, had a procedure done 4 Monday's ago to see just how far the cells had grown....The Specialist called me from her house that Friday morning and said "I know your a praying women, but I just don't understand this...Your report came back negative! She said I know what I saw..." But the test came back cancer free!!!! Glory to GOD!!!!!! Even if the situation was different, He's still faithfull & Just! I LOVE HIM!!! God IS still working miracles today! I wrote about this Scripture back in Sept. but it applies with this testimony...
Hebrews 11:1-40
These were examples of faith and obedience to God.
Faith is the belief that God is real and that He is good & and is true to His promises...
Matt. 5:3-11
God says that the more hopeless your circumstances, the more likely your salvation....LOL! aint' that good news, for those of us going through...LOL! The greater your cares, the more genuine your prayers.....The darker the room, the greater the need for light....
God's help is near and always available, but it is only given to those who seek it....
Faith is more that a belief in God. It is also a way of life. The examples in this scripture although imperfect, trusted God and gave their lives to Him...*smile*
God has never rejected a genuine gesture of faith....NEVER.....I know I can get a witness on that! LOL! Add your own testimony... *smile* Thank God for the prayers & faith of the righteous! Have a blessed week in the Lord and His promises...~MUCH LOVE~ Until next time...tah...tah...*smile*
What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it - would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have. R.M
Keep counting your blessings. Love and appreciate what you already have. Wishing you a blessed week.

Hey, my messages has/will be coming a little slower but that's because God has blessed me to get out of the house after 4 months of bed rest. Also He has blessed me by bringing more friends into myspace...LOL! But if I've heard from you, you've heard from me...*smile* In the spirit of Thanksgiving I am giving thanks! In giving thanks to God, my mind wonders to the people He has placed in my life and also to the ones He has called home.
Ecclesiastes 9:1-12:14 We all must face death. Those who are righteous and wise rest in God's hands... (Thank you God) Work hard, enjoy life, and seek wisdom. Wisdom provides greater assets than power. Although you still face death, you can be comforted to know that those wo follow God will live forever with Him. (Thank you God) Each day we have the honor of sitting down with a book that contains the words of the One who created us. Every day we have the opportunity to let Him give us a thought or two on how to live. (Thank you God) If we don't do what He says, He doesn't burn the book or cancel our subscription. If we disagree with what He says, lightning doesn't split us in half or an angel doesn't mark our names off a Holy list. If we don't understand what He says, He doesn't call us dummies. (Thank you God) In fact, He calls us "His children" and on a different page explains what we don't understand. I'm learning everyday not to take everyday miricales for granted. I'm discovering many things, traffic jams eventually clear up sunsets are for free, I'm learning that people are people and God is God...and except them for who they are...and are not...LOL! I'm learning that if I look...if I open my eyes and observe... there are many reasons to get on my knees and look toward heaven and just say THANK YOU LORD! Look at your remarkable blessings and give God thanks for what you do have...I thank God for you!
