Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

My name is Stephoney. I was born in Jamaica, W.I. and was raised under a heavily Pentecostal influence. I was saved baptized & filled with the Holy Ghost at 6 yrs old. When I was 14 my family migrated in to the US. My teen years were spent at Charles E. Gorton High School where my focus was foreign languages. Following high school I attended the Pace Business School majoring in computer programming. I began ministering in song at the age of 7 and in the spoken word at the age of 19. With a desire to further my spiritual education and being an evangelist at heart I attended the Family of Christ School of Ministry (NY) where I graduated with Honors (Evangelism & General Bible).
I have been blessed to have been able to minister all across the United States & have also been able to take the gospel of the Kingdom to countries such as Jamaica, Canada & Trinidad. I am currently the Director of Youth Ministries at the Faith Covenant Church of God located here in Charlotte, NC. My Pastor is Bishop Wade T. Foster, a truly anointed man of God. Who has been divinely called of God for such a time as this!

I believe that this is a wonderful time in Gods’ divine calendar. I believe the church is poised at the very brink of a mighty supernatural outpouring of the power of God. I believe that this is the year of breakthroughs and that if the body of Christ would gather our global selves & collectively, earnestly seek the face of God that we would witness a revival of such magnitude the likes of which the world has never seen. Gone are the days when we can sit on our padded pews and sing solos & preach wonderfully eloquent sermons to each other. We have each been called to a great ministry & we must not fail to answer this call.

My Non Profit organization CCIP was birth out of a personal crisis 2 years ago when my son was arrested for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute (thank God he is & has been clean for over a year). I may share further regarding this someday. I realized that many of our youths were making the same mistakes & that there was an entire generation that were being systematically deceived & discarded by the enemy. They hopelessly wander the streets daily. They seem to have no goals, no aim, no ideals and as much as I had tried, my son had become one of “them”. I was determined to not let him become a statistic. I began helping him to get his record clean, holding him accountable to change his behavior & petitioning prayer groups to cover him in prayer. I went to companies & spoke to them on his behalf explaining his “situation”. Now he is back in school and already has a position waiting for him (by the grace of God).I realized that it was so easy to do this for my child why wasn’t someone doing this for everyone’s child & I realized, to borrow a phrase from my good friend & brother (((S Dot))), “if not me, who?” and so CCIP was born.!
