I just came back from a truly awesome trip to NY. Bible Campus Ministries, the campus ministry where I serve as president, sponsored a trip to NY. Sixteen people worshiped at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of NY. Then we stopped over at Duke’s New York for dinner.

It took us close to 4 hours to get to Jamaica, Queens from Millersville. We thought we would miss the 11:00a.m. worship service.

We arrived just right on time, well sort of, because the 8:30a.m service let out late. So we arrived in front the church in our 47 seat executive coach bus and went into an awesome worship service.

Lady Judith Christie McAllister lead the worship this morning with the help of Greater Allen’s choir and worship leader Melonie Daniels. The Holy Spirit moved in that place!

Then Co-Pastor Elaine M. Flake, D.Min. entered the sanctuary with guest preacher the Rev. Dr. Claudette A. Copeland. The two women recently came off from leading a weekend of praise at the 25th annual Greater Allen’s Women’s Ministry Conference in Philadelphia. The theme this year was entitled Forever My Praise.

Dr. Copeland preached from Jeremiah 38:6-13 with a sermon titled “At the End of Your Rope.” The message was truly powerful.

Today was truly the icing on the cake. The batter started to churn last night when I started to read A.W. Tozer’s The Pursuit of God: The Human Thirst for the Divine before sleep. This book was truly the answer to my prayers. I was in a spiritual drought for the past couple of days. I need to ween myself from reading so many theoblogs. It can become a bit depressing.

I do plan to visit the church again when I move to New York over the summer. The power of God is in that church and the Flakes are some real community leaders. Thank God for His servants who are really effecting their communities for the glory of His Name. Hallelujah!
