Background:
Their ministry can be described as part of the Joshua generation, for they do not fit the standard stanch religious standards one might expect. They are definitely radical for Christ and of the new wave. Not just for change sake but born out of a strong sense of self and a desire to break the traditional bondage that so many Christians find themselves in.
Visions Unlimited Outreach Ministries Inc. (V.U.O.M. Inc.) a multifaceted non-profit organization founded in 1991 by Executive producers Marc and Hope Mason. The vision started out as Vision Unlimited Production, a for profit business selling hand crafted unique clothing items in 4 local shopping malls. By 1996, both Marc and Hope Mason were established ministers and had received several ministerial licenses (including missionary, Evangelist and Ordination) under the Mt. Calvary Holy Churches of America Inc. In 1996, under the leading of the Holy Spirit, Hope Mason founded VUOM Inc. a non-profit ministry that included a small neighborhood church in Woodlawn, MD where they Pastored for 4 years. They have produced several other projects to include books(The Minister's Manual), songs, a weekly Christian radio and television show and a summer drum camp hosting critically acclaimed artists such as drummer Larry Bright. They created and produced the television project "Gospel Aerobics" in 1996 on the Baltimore Cable Access Cable Corporation(more on that later).
Marc Mason is a St. Augustine University, Raleigh, NC music scholarship recipient. He is an accomplished drummer, bassist and song writer. He has appeared and hosted both television and radio and is equally at home with all media formats. He ministers in pulpits, prisons, hospitals locally and in cities across the nation and holds the God given office of Prophet giving a precise word of faith and encouragement. He is currently pursuing studies with the goal of a degree in Pastoral Counseling and Theology
Both Marc and Hope Mason are products of the Baltimore City Public School Systems. Each graduated from Frederick Douglass High School (a school that majored in music). Marc Mason held the coveted position of first line snare drummer and played in the award winning Douglass Marching Band and ground breaking jazz band, while Hope Mason sang on the equally impressive Douglass Pipers and won the title of Miss Douglass after pulling together a musical production of all the finest musician, singers and dancers of the school body and garnered 90% of the student body vote. It is their love of Jesus, music, and creativity that has birthed the visions that they have walked in. To God be all the Glory.
As a visionary for VUOM Inc. Hope Mason, the daughter of Dr. Harold Ivory Williams, senior prelate of the Mount Calvary Holy Churches of America with hundreds of churches worldwide and the late Dr. Amanda Elizabeth Williams, co-founder and late Pastor of Mount Calvary Holy Temple and the step-daughter of Pastor Shirley Caesar-Williams, a living legend and icon hailed by all as the First Lady of Gospel, has been surrounded by music and education her entire life. She comes from a long line of preachers. Her grandmother, Rev. Ethel Willliams was the first black woman to be ordained in Baltimore, Maryland who also had the God given honor of traveling to Kingston Jamaica with Marcus Garvey in 1929. Her brother, Harold Ivory Williams Jr. is a former Peabody Institute student and Carnegie Hall solo artist that has played with some of the greats: (Check out his Tribute below) James Cleveland, Miles Davis, George Duke, Noel Pointer, Chick Corea and many more to numerous to name. She is an experienced vocalist and flows under the anoionting of the Holy Ghost in the area of song writing, arrangements and executive production. In 1996 she created and produced the award winning television project "Gospel Aerobics" which aired on the Baltimore Cable Access Cable Corporation winning the coveted (Gospel Aerobics – 1998 Cameo Award Winner – Baltimore Cable Access Corporation / Health and Human Services Programming) award, which at that time was the first televised Gospel Aerobic programming in America. She has more than 25 years in Computer Information Systems and acquired several technology certifications before changing careers and being accepted into the nationally recruited Baltimore City Teacher Residency (BCTR) program in partnership with Johns Hopkins University. It was after this career change that she recognized the desperate need for alternative learning opportunities that existed in Baltimore City and the surrounding areas. Being a state accredited teacher in Baltimore City, pursuing a graduate degree from the world renowned Johns Hopkins School of Business and Education, Hope Mason hopes to birth the VUOM School of Arts Project to fight what she sees as a growing disparity with the inner city youth. Labeled At-Risk by virtue of living in the city many young gifted children are slipping through the educational cracks. It became apparent to her that there is a great need to nurture these talented but unrecognized youth early in life.
VUOM School of the Arts, Technology and Alternative Learning will be a non-profit 501(c) 3 corporation, dedicated to nurturing a child's creativity through the arts. The vision was birthed on the principle that there exists within every child a gift that needs only to be identified and developed. Our main objective at the school will be to encourage and guide children, to nurture, develop, or recapture those innate gifts at an early age that ultimately will allow that child to develop a sense of fulfillment, self-confidence and direction which may serve them throughout their lives. For many children in that live in urban areas the VUOM School of Arts may be the only opportunity or place them may ever have to discover that all accomplishments start with a dream, and that all dreams are possible.
VUOM School of the Arts will offer a full day of studies which will include general academic studies with a focus on reading and a daily artistic regime that is predetermined at an auditioning process at the initial stages of entry, this vision is currently slated to become a reality in the fall of 2010, with the help of partners and the Lord's divine direction and intervention.
The Mason's met in high school at the age of 16 in 1973, married in 1980 and preached a twin initial sermon in 1990. They have 1 son - Lamar, 3 daughters - Martia, Linda and Miya and 7 grandchildren, whom they love dearly. Currently, The Mason's are raising 5 of the grandchildren ages 2-9 (as of 2007). The 8 year old has a disability and requires constant supervision. All 5 children are very active. These lastest events have placed their ministry efforts on hiatus and are a ministry in and of its'self. Keep them in prayer as they strive to stay in God's perfect will.

Word to the Wise
by
Elder Hope Mason
Your Purpose and ValidationWhen you finally realize that you have a purpose and that purpose and destiny has been revealed to you...Validation is not an issue. You don't need to be validated by other indiviuals to fulfill your destiny. You only need validation from God. Yes, I understand that being validated , understood, encouraged and heard may seem important, even crucial to your well-being and ability to go forth, but it is not. Look at love...I do not need you to love me back. If I love you it is unconditional. It is not based on a response from you. I could care less if you don't love me. I love you! Period. That is the kind of love he had for us. He loved us when we didn't love him. No validation on our part needed. (Much more on Love later - for we (even the church) seem to be lacking in that area.) Only the strong, the bold, the radical, the secure, the sure can demonstrate this boldness in fulfilling their purpose. Go forth, be who God has called you to be in spite experiencing stop signs, pitfalls, slander, jealousy,critisms, people putting on the brakes, traps, discouragement (stop and cry if you must but get back up more determined knowing who you are and whose you are). Go Forth and do what God has told you to do! God's got your back!Be Blessed Elder Hope Mason
Word to the Wise
The signs of the times are more visible than ever. When Jesus returns will you be ready? Are you fullfilling your destiny and purpose in this life. Do you know him in the pardon of your sins? If not simply ask him for forgiveness and invite him into your life. Did you know that in the year 1999, on the dawn of the year 2000, many believed that the rapture would occur or at least Armageddon would start (for those of you that understand the different eschatological views). But many of God's servants, the prophets and wise watchers of the times (are you one of them?) took note of the
Jewish Calendar and by the interpretation of the word of God and the signs felt that the time for those events would be more accurate in the year 2007. Well that year is here. Look at the signs. Wake Up Saints of God!!! Wake Up, those of you who want to wait until later. It's time!!!! Even if he takes another 7 years....It's Time!!

My Interests



1. God Loves You!
The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His
one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall
not perish, but have eternal life"

The problem is that

2. All of us have done, said or thought things that are
wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated
us from God.

The Bible says "All have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God." God is perfect and holy, and our sins
separate us from God forever. The Bible says "The wages
of sin is death."

The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,
3. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then
died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. "God
demonstrates His own love for us in that
while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."

Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with
God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life --
of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him
as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am the way, the
truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except
by Me."
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His
child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right
to become children of God, even to those who believe on
His name." You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive
your sins and come in to your life as your Lord
and Savior.

4. If you want to accept Christ as Savior and turn from
your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by
praying a prayer like this:

"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you
for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins
and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life
and heart to be my Lord and Savior.
I want to serve you always."

Did you pray this prayer?

A Tribute to Harold Ivory Williams Jr.

The Lord has blessed me with lots of sisters and brothers but only 1 of them is my biological sibling. Harold Ivory Williams Jr.(birth name contrary to the discog stats below,) named after out father, is my only brother. We are 7 years apart in age, he being the eldest. He started playing piano (like myself) at the tender age of 3 years old. He became an accomplished pianist ...I did not...LOL.

We were raised in church where my grandmother, father and mother were the Pastors at one time or another and my father the Bishop of the organization we belong to, Mount Calvary Holy Church of America(www.mchca.org) and he was the church organist. He was in demand all over in the city and up and down the East Coast. The first track below is a selection on the 'The Best Of James Cleveland and the Gospel Music Workshop of America' CD. The song was written, arranged, and performed by my brother Harold in the 70's. Another selection 'Ye That Believe in God' was also recorded with James Cleveland, a family friend. I will be compiling a list of works by Harold as a tribute to my one and only brother whom I love very much.

He was heralded by many in the late 60's - 80's as a musical genius, electronic wizard (long before technology became the norm and was consequently revered as being ahead of his time. He played an active part in the History of the Jazz-Rock Fusion era playing with Miles in the early 70's considered the ELECTRIC PERIOD - ROCK, FUSION, FUNK as you will see below. Several tracks are listed . Listen in.

He is equally proficient at all genres of music to include Jazz, Gospel, and Classical music and was a student of the renowned Peabody Institute of Music receiving many accolades while there and so labeled a virtuoso.
He has appeared as a solo artist at Carnegie Hall. He has performed with Miles Davis, James Cleveland, George Duke, Sounds of Philly, Albertina Walker, Well known jazz-rock musicians from Poland include violinist Micheal Urbaniak and singer Ursula Dudziak, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and more and many while yet a teenager prodigy. I will attempt to update the list as I get data.
He was on the pinnacle of acclaimed international success before being forced to stop due to a debilitating illness. He currently plays piano at Mount Calvary Word of Faith where our parents pastor in Raleigh, NC.
James Cleveland, Harold, and Verlin Sandler sing on the following song. The song is erroneously entitled "I Gave My All to You" on the CD but should be entitled 'Give" as the song indicates.
I am currently searching for more work to post. Check back for updates.
God Bless,
Elder Hope Mason

(The following review is from www.rhapsody.com:)
M.F.S.B. -- or Mother Father Sister Brother -- were a Philadelphia-based collective drawn together through their studio work for the legendary songwriting team Gamble and Huff. Having backed the best of the Philly soul crop (including the Spinners and the O'Jays), M.F.S.B. began playing and recording on their own, releasing their eponymous debut in 1973. The album showcased the collective's fondness for deep soul grooves and extended jazz-influenced jams, and sold respectably. Later that year, Don Cornelius approached Kenny Gamble about writing a theme song for his newly syndicated television show, Soul Train . Gamble gathered the members of M.F.S.B. into the studio with vocal group the Three Degrees, and recorded what would later be called "T.S.O.P.," which stands for "The Sounds of Philadelphia." The song proved immensely popular, topping pop and R&B charts. M.F.S.B. would go on to record more albums (flirting with disco in a couple of them), but waning interest led the group to disband after 1980's Mysteries of World.

More Panthalassa: The Music of Miles Davis 1969-1974urszula - album reviews Singer Urszula Dudziak's second recording as a leader and first American record introduced to the jazz world a somewhat bizarre stylist. By sometimes using electronics to distort her voice and displaying a very wide range along with the ability to improvise freely, Dudziak was quite unique. All ten selections on this out-of-print Arista LP (including "Zavinul," "Mosquito Dream," and "Just the Way You Are," which is no relation to the later Billy Joel hit) are originals by the singer, with the emphasis on "original." The backup group includes guitarists Reggie Lucas and Joe Caro, keyboardist Harold Ivory Williams, and a guest appearance on one song by Dudziak's husband, Michal Urbaniak, on lyricon. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

This was Zbygniew’s first American recording, and Michal predicts that the US audience "will hear more of him in the future" (Which, unfortunately, did not happen… although he did play on next year’s "Ecstasy").

Although they had a few hits in the mid-'60s as an R&B vocal group, their career didn't really take off until the mid-'70s, when they signed to Philadelphia International and Gamble & Huff began producing their records. The Best of the Three Degrees: When Will I See You Again covers the trio's time at Philadelphia International, when they had a number one pop hit with "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)" and a number two pop hit with "When Will I See You Again," in addition to a string of minor R&B hits
