As some of you know, I am on the Executive Board of the International Youth Department of the S.D. James Evangelistic Association, Inc. and its Pentecostal Churches (World-Wide).  This Summer, Youth from our church were able to attend a great Youth Congress in Memphis, Tennessee.

                                                     

The Theme for this Youth Congress was, "Developing Kingdom Character".

       

Our children were able to not only see different culturally enhancing places, but they were able to have interacting with individuals who have made history.  People like:

Rev. Samuel "Billy" Kyles speaks with Dr. James.

Rev Samuel "Billy" Kyles was a close friend of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In 

Fact, Dr. King, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Andrew Young, Dr. Ralph Albernathy were on their way to eat dinner at the 

home of Rev. Kyles, when Dr. King was 

assassinated.  Dr. King was staying at the Lorriane Motel getting ready to speak at a rally for the Memphis Sanitation Workers.  Dr. Kyles told the young people present about the events that took place that evening.  Everyone was riveted to their seats as he spoke.

Delegates pause to take a group picture.  Our children and delegates
represented very well. We're very proud of them.

Delegates got the chance to visit the now famous Lorraine Motel. Many people pass thru its doors every day.  There have been additions to the motel and now it is the 

Civil Rights Museum.  It was fascinating to walk through the actual places where Dr. King walked and sleep.  It was even more mind blowing to actually stand where James Earl Ray stood and fired his death shot that took the life of Dr. King.  A voice was silenced, but not the dream.  As delegates walked through the Civil Rights Museum, they saw and heard many life changing artifacts.  I'm sure our children will never be the same.

An African Grio tells how important the
drum was to African life.  Delegatessang
songs and listened.  He was very good.

Delegates visit "Slave Haven".  This house was one of

the main stops along the Underground Rail Road. It was

amazing to be standing in a place where Harriet Tubman

slept while she was leading slaves to freedom.  Delegates

where able to see the uncomfortable areas they had to

endure as they waiting to travel up the Mississippi River

which runs through Tennessee.

                                                                                      Mason's Temple
                                               

The Tomb of Bishop Charles H. Mason is placed within
Mason's Temple. We were able to go and pay our respect.

Delegates visited Mason's Temple (headquarter church for the Churches of
God in Christ.  It was here Dr. King gave his famous Mountain Top Speech to encourage the Memphis Sanitation Workers.  The next day, he was killed.

Pastor Lindsey stands behind the pulpit that Dr. King
spoke his Mountain Top Speech.  Quite an experience!
