This photo from the Silver Anniversary book launch and CD release was one of the most blessed days of my life.  Legend flew home, during study period; he and Victor hosted the event to celebrate 25 years in the minsitry of the Gospel and the ministry of social responsibility.  Archie Freeman, III served as Master of Ceremonies.  Legend and Elder Quentin White poured libations for my late grandfather, Ollie M. Bowman, Sr. and late father, Ollie M. Bowman, Jr. and two of my mentors, to whom the book is dedicated:  Maya Angelou and Shirley Chisholm.  Evangelists and Armor Bearers of the More Love Movement, Brenda Keeling, Vonda Wright and Nyree Wright served as hostesses. Vonda Wright and the Jerusalem Baptist Church Praz Team performed to the timeless hymn, "Silver and Gold".  In addition to wonderful remarks by Legend and Vic, Dr. Melva Belcher, Brenda Keeling, Pam Dickey, Nyree Wright, Vonda Wright, Lorena Taylor-Wilson, Elder Quentin White, Freeda Cathcart, Martha Stevens and Delegate Sam Rasoul spoke as well. Delegate Rasoul presented me with a commendation award for 25 years in ministry.  In addition to signing, "I Will Not Complain", Archie Freeman read correspondence and congratulations from two of my cousins and several of her ministerial colleagues.  With a cake, depicting the book's cover, as the centerpiece, the guests enjoyed an evening of praise and fellowship.  Rev. Kermit Mitchell, a classmate from Harvard Divinity School, traveled from Texas to attend the event.

September. 2014  Ferguson, MO.

Brenda Keeling, former More Love Movement armor bearer, and I took the Movement to Ferguson following the shooting death of Mike Brown.  We distributed Dr. Thinkenshine books, dream books, prayer books and more love  to residents of Canfield Apartments (where Mike was gunned down).  At his funeral in August, 2014, Rev. Al Sharpton said, "don't try to be on the program; try to have a program".  We took the P15 program to Ferguson! I was honored to preach the P15 message at New Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church (Ferguson, MO).
