How are you helping your community, especially during COVID-19? Elder Charles, his wife Lady Constance and their two sons, Charles, Jr. and Justice, have been faithful members of New Hope Full Gospel Baptist Church in Albuquerque Uptown Area, since 2016. Under the anointed leadership of Bishop David C. Cooper and Co-Pastor, Nina Cooper, Elder Charles has been the Director of New Hope’s Prison Ministry since 2018. During his time as Director of the Prison Ministry, he has preached and led several souls to be saved at the Metropolitan Detention Center. He is also an active member of the Men’s Ministry “Move”, Minister’s Alliance and a regular teacher for Bible Institute. Prior to Elder Charles’ move to Albuquerque, he and his family were loyal, dedicated members of God’s Exciting Cathedral of Praise Baptist Church, in Desoto, Texas. For 13 years, Elder Charles served as an Associate Minister in New Members Orientation, Sunday School, Men’s Ministry, Evangelism Ministry and the Singles Ministry. Both Elder Charles and his wife served as leaders over the Singles Ministry, in which they were blessed to feed the homeless, street ministry, visit nursing homes, and fellow-shipped with other church Single Ministries. Finally, Elder Charles’ greatest passion is Prison Ministry. He has worked tirelessly with the goal of taking back what the enemy has stolen from us! He believes that too many souls have been lost to the criminal justice system. His goal is to bring light and justice to a dark and unjust society through God’s word.

I interviewed Dr. Melvin Ego-Osuala earlier this year prior to COVID-19. He discussed his struggles and successes in his journey thus far. Dr. Melvin and his team have been great front liners during these times in their community. Be sure to visit their social sites.

Obinna Melvin Ego-Osuala, MD is a second generation Nigerian who practices as a pediatrician in both private practice and emergency medicine primarily in Prince Georges County Maryland. Most of his patients refer to me as "Dr. Melvin," and he is one of seven siblings; he come from a career driven hard working family. His older siblings and parents are doctors alike. He was born in Nigeria however at the age of 10 years old his father emigrated to United States to pursue better career opportunities. His fathers unwavering work ethic fueled his passion to strive and achieve whatever goals he set forth for himself and is very foundational to who he is today as a physician. In December 2019, Dr. Melvin successfully launched his own pediatric practice called Edge Pediatrics located within his community of Greenbelt, MD. They provide care from birth into early adulthood.

Who knew we would be going through a quarantine in 2020. This podcast was done prior, but I believe it still has relevance to how we can get our mind right and accomplish something while in quarantine. I interviewed Andrew Amaechi who is a Digital Transformation Manager with a large Fortune 500 IT consulting firm and is also the Founder and CEO of Generation Mastermind, which is a positive media brand and online/offline community that helps millennial's learn, connect and grow. His hobbies include working out, playing basketball, listening to podcasts, traveling and indulging in everything related to art. He holds a B.S. in Biology and a Masters in Public Health (with a concentration in business management and information systems) IG/FB- @generationmastermind Website: www.generationmastermind.net/

This is truly a time for us to come together as one, and PRAY. Scriptures to read are: Psalms 91, Psalms 23, 2 Timothy 1:7, Philippians 4:6-7, Psalms 55:22, 2 Chronicles 7:14. Take time to pray for forgiveness, for the world, our leaders, essential workers, the medical field, your family, yourself, etc.

On this episode, I interview Co-Pastor Nina Cooper on stepping out of our comfort zones. She has served 35 years in ministry with her husband, Bishop David C. Cooper and together they serve as shepherds of the New Hope Full Gospel Baptist Church of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Their vision is to equip, empower, and encourage believers to fulfill their roles as kingdom priests, to impact the lives of their  fellowman through effective ministry, and to serve as examples of excellence and compassion in ministry. She is presently finishing her Ph.D. in intercultural communication at the University of New Mexico where she teaches in the Communication & Journalism Department and assists graduate students with conflict management in her role as ombudsperson for graduates. She continues to be used by God as a catalyst to help other believers experience a life of worship and prayer that is dynamic, powerful, and effective.

Welcome to 2020 loves. How has the year been treating you? Email us at [email protected]. In this episode my husband and I share how things have gone thus far this year. The good and the struggles, but we also share skills that we are implementing that could also help you. Tune In!!
