Foundation
from page 85
Bishop Marshall, lead
pastor of Christ Cathedral
Church of Deliverance,
said this is not a church
program but something his
family felt passionately
about and wanted to make
a difference. Because of
the three generations of
professional gentlemen
raised in the Marshall
homes, they will be t)ie
face of the program.
The eight-week pro
gram will run during the
first semester of.the aca
demic year for Winston
Salem/Forsyth . County
Schools and will run from
Sept. 19 until Nov. 7.
Throughout the program
there will be principles
taught from the Bible.
Bishop Marshall will also
relate biblical stories and
contexts to show the young
men the proper way to
carry themselves and han
dle adverse situations, for
example. The mission is to
not overwhelm the young
men with religious tones in
fear of having them shut
down, but to present them
with parallels from the
Bible to make certain
points.
During the program,
the young men will receive
assistance in academic pur
suits, seminars to enhance
their cultural respect, ways
to dress appropriately and
forums on current events,
to name a few. The partic
ipants in the program will
be referred to as "fellows"
because the Marshall
Foundation looks to make
this an annual event. It
hopes to follow up with
them after the program
concludes, also.
"There will be classes
on social etiquette because
some equate that as being
weak or bougie when it is
just what's a part of what
makes one successful. We
will have classes and semi
nars and taking the young
? men to different environ
ments where they will be
exposed to other segments
of society. There are young
people who don't know
what's out there on the
west side of town past the
mall. I think its part of our
responsibility to expose
them. Exposure births
expectations, and we want
tjjem to know the neighbor
hoods where they might
not know a person now, but
they themselves may one
day live in the future,"
Bishop Marshall said.
Marshall Foundation
Executive Director Brittani
Lane said relationship
building is going to play a
major role with the young
men. She says they will
encourage the mentors in
the program to continue the
positive relationships with
the young men after the
program is over to show
them that they care and
have a role model to look
up to.
According to Bishop
Marshall, fraternities from
local universities have
shown strong interest in
being mentors to the young
men. He said that kind of
relationship building is a
strong example of brother
hood the young men need
to be exposed to.
Parents are not exempt
from participating in the
program as well. They are
expected to encourage the
young men to attend all
sessions of the program
and to reinforce the princi
ples in the home that are
being taught in the classes.
Any potential "fellow"
within the target age range
will be eligible for the pro
gram. The foundation is
also looking for local pro
fessionals and college stu
dents to serve as mentors as
well. The target is to have
20 to 25 fellows in the pro
gram. Registration for the
program started June 1 and
ends July 31. ?

- Jehovah's
from page B!T
Jehovah's Witness Robert Green of
Thomasville said, "Our convention is a
spiritual brotherhood, and it brings all the
brothers and sisters together. You really
get to enjoy the Bible courses they provide
and how it brings out how Jehovah con
nects people together. All the things the
Bible teaches you is a blessing from
Jehovah, and it helps you in your everyday
life, so that you can love others as you love
yourself."
The convention has been held in
Winston-Salem since the mid-90s.
Kennerley stated the convention continues
to come back to Winston-Salem because
the people of the city have been very open
and welcoming to them.
The first two weekends of the conven
tion will be in English. They expect over
9j000 people during each of those week
ends. The following two weekends will be
spoken in Spanish because of the growing
Latino population in
.? r '.L t/ I
uie iaim. ivenneney
also said there are con
ventions such as these
all across the country
and the world as they
try and attract people
from all walks of life.
"The purpose is to
bring together the
KennerUy
I brothers and sisters,"
said an attendee who
wished to be referred to
as "David." "No matter what someone's
race, creed, or color everyone here is unit
ed. The convention really shows our way
of life and how we can be loyal to Jehovah
God."
Lesson
from page 55
from Him to worshiping
things and idols (vs. 21
22). A decision to live
morally upright is needed
to follow God. God
requires obedience to His
. word and because the
Roman church chooses Jo
ignore Him and do what
pleased them they were
given over to a reprobate
mind (vs. 28). Paul lists the
depravities that they were
guilty of as an example of
their state of mind ... not as
an entire list. The acts of
depravity in Paul's list are
prominent even in our soci
ety today. Read verses 29
31... it all seems so oon
temporary; especially verse
30 ... inventors of evil
things (KJV) and ...they
invent new ways of sinning
(NLT). Sadly, they know
as we do today, that these
things are wrong and will
result in judgment from
God, but they continue and
even encourage others (vs.
32). UMI sums it up: Tliis
had become a concert of
sin; they practiced, per
formed and then applauded
(UMI Annual Commentary
2015-16, Precepts for
Living).
For Your Conridcratkm:
Is mote required of us than
just acknowledging God's
revelation? What really
constitutes a mind of repro
bation?
Life's Application:
t
People or we have an
innate awareness of God's
existence today, yet many
of us refuse to submit to
His will. The news high
lights our refusal daily with
mass murders, the contin
ued fight for same-sex mar
riage and most ridiculously
of late, the fight over who
goes to what bathroom. We
acknowledge that this is
indicative of a lost people.
We also acknowledge that
the Gospel is God's power
to change people and give
them eternal life. The mes
sage of the Risen Christ is
the only message that can
offer eternal hope and
peace to the lost.
Forgiveness is found in the
belief in Jesus, the author
and finisher of our faith.
