Sunday Memoirs
Preachers from the Past
John Jasper
An African American Preacher Born Into Enslavement
A reading from BH365: An Inclusive Account of American History textbook on the Black Church.
Sunday Memoirs takes a look back in the past to find inspiration for the future. We will take time to share great inspiring accounts and building moments of the Black Church and others, depicting religious traditions and spiritual awakenings that contributed to the foundation of the church and our faith today. At times we will share inspirational words to educate and encourage individuals on their journey of faith in God.
This Sunday we will introduce a series called "Preachers from the Past", focusing on the preachers that risk their lives in many cases during enslavement to spread the message of the gospel and start some of our greatest churches and traditions of the day. We start our journey with John Jasper, a preacher born into enslavement during 1812-1901. Considered to have started the first African American mega church.
These preachers did what they could during the 1800's to help the community of the enslavement. Although it had been through some hard changes and some endured harsh times in history, the black church and the preacher himself has always been a safe haven for people of African descent during the unrelenting onslaughts of enslavement, racist bigotry, Jim Crow and other forms of oppression and suppression from before the Civil War all the way through and past the Civil Rights Movement. Even today, it still rings true of some preachers and their churches being a pillar in the community. Although, preachers today must ask, are we still influential to our communities and making sure that they are taken care of any every way possible? Can we look back at some of the preachers during enslavement and learn from their relentless faith in God and apply this to today? Its a challenge, but we must ask and face the truth.

Psalm 23
The Divine Shepherd
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
3 he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
my whole life long.
**This scripture reading is taken from the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Bible

Young Entrepreneurs
BHM365 will celebrate Young Entrepreneurs that are making a difference in their communities and across the world. Entrepreneurship is more attainable more than ever and the young adult is taking advantage of it more and more in all areas of life. There are 582 million entrepreneurs globally and 25 million Americans who were starting or already running their own business. So we are asking the questions to young entrepreneurs; 1) Are young people more entrepreneurial?, 2) How many young people become entrepreneurs?, and 3) Why do young people choose entrepreneurship? We will also visit great entrepreneurs in the past as well Annie Malone, Madam C.CJ. Walker, and present Cathy Hughes, Rhianna and the future. These strong individuals will inspire and strengthen you in your journey.
Celebrate with us some of the brightest and best with us for the next few months.
Quote by Cathy Hughes:
“Don’t let anyone convince you that your dream, your vision to be an entrepreneur is something that you shouldn't do. What often happens is that people who are well meaning, who really care for us are afraid for us and talk us out of it. It's interesting how God arranges your schedule.”
