Jamell is one of the most fascinating guests that I have ever had the pleasure to interview on Women Worth Knowing. Jamell grew up in the ghetto of Chicago not knowing it was the ghetto. She had good parents and a strong since of family, however, there was an emptiness that she felt. Going to church with a friend when she was sixteen, Jamell realized that the answer to her emptiness was the fullness of God. She gave her life to Jesus Christ that first Sunday at church and never looked back! The very next week she was baptized and met James Meeks, a sassy, handsome sixteen years old that immediately asked the newly baptized Jamell out. On one of their first dates, James confessed to Jamell that he and his whole life were fully dedicated to the service of Jesus Christ. Rather than scaring Jamell off, Jame’s confession drew her in. They both committed their lives to the service of Jesus and then to each other.
Engagingly, Jamell shares with me how she and James were led to start Salem Baptist Church of Chicago in the midst of the ghetto. Hear the stories of what God has done with their lives and in the lives of others. If you’re needing to hear about the wonders God is doing today, then you won’t want to miss either episode with Jamell.
