Download or read book Life on the Streets Without God and an Education written by Apostle Stephanie B. Scruggs and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a survival story of a single mother having thirteen children. The father runs off and leaves. She has no high school diploma and no college degree. After the father disappears and leaves her for dead, she gets well and picks herself up. We are born and raised in East St. Louis, Illinois. She goes downtown and registers to take college courses, and she starts working on her GED. She gets her GED, and she completes an associate’s degree in auto mechanics. Then she takes a part-time job at the little corner store after school. So they are left to take care of the children—cook, clean, and make sure the kids do their homework. It is tough because we are children ourselves. But we make it through the hardest times of our lives. Out of thirteen children, eleven graduate and two refuse to go. Mother graduates again with a degree in teaching. Now she is able to get off food stamps and welfare. She has a job in teaching, and now she is able to support the last six kids on a salary. Father shows back up when the last six are in high school. Mother refuses to take him back after he tried to kill her. It is a long, hard journey. But we make it through the toughest of times. I have no children of my own, but I raised a niece and a nephew and two more adopted children in Columbus, Ohio. I have been in ministry for forty-three years. I drive buses and trucks for thirty-four years. I used to take the children on the bus with me and allowed them to see what is going to happen to them if they don’t go to school and get an education. They see me get cursed out many times when I have to tell people what the fare is. This is what takes place when you don’t have God and education.
Download or read book Saving the Streets of Chicago written by But God, His Story in the lives of Reverend Roosevelt and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-12-04 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Reverend Roosevelt Matthews and his beloved wife, Mary, whose work saved many in one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods on Chicago's West Side. But as Roosevelt emphasizes, it's not his story but God's story. In 1952, Roosevelt and Mary came to Chicago from Rolling Fork, Mississippi, as part of the Great Migration of six million Southern Blacks. Shortly after they married, Mary became a sixth-grade Chicago Public School teacher at Faraday Elementary where she taught for thirty years. With his teaching degree and certificate in hand, Roosevelt headed out to the Chicago Board of Education to be assigned the school he would teach in. But God had other ideas. As he walked down his front steps, he saw troubled youth in the street where gangs and drugs were prevalent. He suddenly came to an abrupt halt; struck with the Lord's call to help these young people. Forging a career as a schoolteacher, Roosevelt founded the Albany Youth Center and Albany Baptist Church, which he and Mary ran for the next forty-five years. As one youth center attendee stated, "The gangs in the area did not bother the kids who attended the youth center. They respected the efforts of Reverend Matthews and his wife to make the life of those kids better." With the violence and racism in our country today, the work of Roosevelt and Mary is a big part of the solution. This book documents the "But God" moments where the Lord provided their needs: But God, when Roosevelt went to buy a defunct factory as a place to put his youth center's outdoor basketball court, the owner looked him in the face and said, "I'd rather burn the factory down than sell it to an N-word". A few months later, Dr. King was assassinated and in the resulting riots the factory was burned to the ground. The factory then became property of the City of Chicago and sold to Roosevelt for a much lower price. But God, teaching Interracial friendship by living in each other's homes, Roosevelt established the Friendship Outreach program between white churches and Albany Baptist Church in 1972. White children came to live with Black families on Chicago's West Side and vice versa. In 2018, one of the original exchange students from Minnesota returned to Albany Church with her own children, continuing this wonderful long-term friendship. But God, Mary got the smooth transition she prayed for after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She never suffered from the ravages of the disease. Looking as beautiful as ever, she played piano in church just three days before she passed from her beloved Roosevelt's loving arms to God's kingdom. But God, as Roosevelt said, "The Lord directed such fine people to help us along the way". One was "Mother" Vera Stephens, who taught Roosevelt and Mary child evangelism. Vera later felt the call to go to Liberia, where she established the Bethesda Christian Mission School that is still inspiring the lives of many children today. In 2011, "Mother" Stephens was posthumously honored for her work by both the president and vice president of Liberia. But God, while Mary and Roosevelt were not able to have biological children, many former pupils, attributing much of their success to "Mom" and "Dad," still call, send letters, and emails. Several have become Bible teachers and ministers themselves while others include a college president and a corporate executive.

Download or read book Street Stories God s Glory written by Joseph T. Reese and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12-30 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What comes to your mind when a person knowingly or unknowingly walks up to you and says, I got something I want you to read. In simple language, do you take the time to envision their expression, or do you shun the idea that someone else is trying to stuff an idea, thought, or some way-out story into your mind? No matter what your answer may be, I took the chance and read the material handed to me through the person of Joseph T. Reese, and to my surprise, I was captivated by the passion and open-heartedness of this vibrant writer. To pen the words to paper will continue until the end of time, for the KJV Bible declares in Ecclesiastes 12:12, And further, by these, my son, be admonished of making many books there is no end and much study is a weariness of the flesh. This book that you are holding and contemplating on purchasing for self or some close friend should stimulate your drive and desire to see how the God of heaven can take an eager and inspiring young man from the atmosphere of Street Life as we call it, to a profound dreamer, visionary, poet, and author. I believe, like myself, youll see perhaps some images of yourself in these writings and in turn, will stop to give God glory for allowing Joseph T. Reese to tell the story from his view on life. Elder Joseph L. Reaves Jr. Pastor, Greater Faith House of Prayer
