On "Being Saved"
in Black America
While growing up in a very
religious and church-going family, I often heard the phrase "Being
Saved." Now to me and my peers, "Being Saved" was a rather spooky and

whatever it was.

Author of the
Week: Raina Shaw
Raina Shaw, best known as a savvy entertainment pro who has worked in
radio, the recording industry
and in publishing, has recently added another title to her impressive
resume—author. A Los Angeles native, Ms. Shaw has worked with
top
artists such as Bob Marley, L.A. Reid, Kenny
“Babyface”
Edmonds, Soul II Soul, Yolanda Adams, Mary Mary, Eric Benet, Sean Paul
and others as a concert promoter. Additionally, as a consultant she has
worked for several music executives and record labels such as Airtight
Entertainment and Anansi/JAD Records; she was associate producer of the
highly successful Urban Fest L.A. held at the University of Southern
California; and she has also delved into the film world, conducting
interviews with several gospel stars for the film “Higher
Ground.” As an author Ms. Shaw hopes that her words will help
her
fulfill her “assignment in the body of Christ.”
“Because even with all the worldly accomplishments I still
suffered from low self esteem and was often operating outside of
God’s will in many of my endeavors,” she says.
“The
Lord placed Ridiculous Situations on my heart because a lot of the
suffering amongst single believers stems from not putting God first and
not being serious about our assignment in the body of Christ. I know
that once we begin to put first things first that total fulfillment in
every area of life will manifest.” E-mail

Music
Minister of the
Week: Vickie Winans
The Woman to
Woman: Songs of Life CD
is the perfect capstone for a 20-year career that has seen Vickie
Winans receive many accolades including 6 Grammy Award nominations; 8
Stellar Awards, and an NAACP Image Award. In that span of time,
she’s released 9 projects, with 2003’s
“BRINGING IT
ALL TOGETHER” debuting at #1 on Billboard’s Gospel
Chart.It’s doubtful that Vickie’s parents knew that
their
7th child would be a Billboard-charting gospel icon. But while singing
her first solo in church at the age of 8, it’s certain that
Aaron
and Mattie Bowman saw something special in their
daughter. Growing
up in church in Detroit, MI, she honed her skills and belted out songs
stunning audiences time and time again. Eventually, she
connected
with the Winans family who set her on the path to gospel
superstardom. Decades later, Vickie Winans is not only known
as
an award-winning gospel recording artist, but she’s revered
as a
consummate business woman that heads of Viviane, Inc. where she manages
herself and books hundreds of shows per year. She is also the
President of her own record label, Destiny Joy Records. An actress and
a comedienne as well, she’s so thankful for all that God has
done
for her. Vickie Winans knows she’s a blessed woman and
she’s eager to share her life’s experiences with
everyone
she comes in contact with. Her infectious personality and her
thousand-watt smile will disarm the coldest stranger.
“Although I’ve had my share of heartaches, pain,
and
sickness over the years, I know that God has truly blessed
me. It’s because of Him that I have a fantastic
family,
great friends, and a rewarding career!” E-mail

Black
Christian History
George Lisle
- February 23, 1814 -- The foundation of the Baptist Mission in Jamaica
had been laid by a few black and "coloured" men who had gone to the
island from America in 1782. Some of them had been slaves in the United
States who had been granted liberty by their owners. Some were
Christians when they arrived in Jamaica, while others had been
converted after their arrival. The most noted were George Lisle (the
first ordained black in America), George Lewis, George Gibb and Moses
Baker. It was chiefly through Moses Baker's recruiting efforts that the
English Baptist Missionary Society took up missionary work in Jamaica.
The first missionary sent from England in response to Baker's pleas was
John Rowe, who landed at Montego Bay, February 23, 1814.
