family settled in Winston-Salem later in his childhood. He
is a graduate of Mount Tabor High School.
Holt and Prince currently are selling their line through
word of mouth and social media. They plan on setting up
a website and a clothing store in the next few years to
grow the brand. They also want to hire individuals who
have a hard time obtaining jobs due to their criminal back
grounds to give them a second chance. Giving back to the
kids is another goal of the duo because they see child
hunger as a problem and wish to become part of the solu
tion.
The goal for the company is to continue to grow and
sell the clothing line at an affordable price. Holt and
Prince plan on connecting with local churches to make
them aware of the brand. When speaking of the line.
Prince said, "My ultimate goal is to make this a line that
everyone knows and that ultimately glorifies the King that
we all should know."

senseless violence that has plagued the city of Winston-Salem in recent months.

To conclude the evening, everyone in attendance created a circle and held hands
as a sign of unity during the "Not in our City" prayer hour, Monday, June 27.

control people, we can't
control the times in which
we live; we can only affect
lives. The best way to
affect lives is to go to the
one who gives life, and that
is to pray. I thought it was
important we do a prayer
just for our city."
Marshall stated that this
event is not a cure-all and
more steps need to be taken
to make a change for the
better. He stated that along
with prayer, there should be
a summit where clergy,
government leaders, police
officials and gang leaders
come together on neutral
ground and talk through
issues that all sides have
with one another.
Willie J. Mason, minis
ter of worship & arts at
Galilee Missionary Baptist
Church, said he was a little
sad at the state of the city
because he was born and
raised in Winston-Salem.
"One of the things that
made me want to come
tonight is that it's different
when it's your city in trou
ble," said Mason. "I was
bom and raised in this city
and to know what our city
was and to see what it's
become is a little disheart
ening. So as an African
American Christian man
that believes in the power
of prayer, I thought 1 need
ed to be here
tonight."
When speak
ing about addi
tional steps that
need to be taken to
combat the vio
lence problem,
Mason went on to
say, "One of the
common threads is
the church has
always been a
place of refuge for the
black community and we
need if the churches of all
denominations to come
together and engage and
embrace our communities.
I'm not speaking of just
black churches, because
eventually
everyone
becomes affect
ed if the issue
isn't stopped."
Marshall
was happy with
the turnout of
prayer warriors
and the fact
there were peo
ple of multiple
denominations in
attendance. His wish is to
have these prayer sessions
expand because he believes
in the power of prayer.
Bishop Marshall
O. DeShea Cuthrell
was a guest of Bishop
Marshall and led prayers
throughout the night. His
perspective was an impor
tant one due to him being
incarcerated for 21 months.
Before his incarceration he
was the minister of music
at his church and said he
was able to see the side of
the justice system where
they send what society
deems the worst of the
worst. He shared tales of
his rehabilitation and want
ed those in attendance to
know everyone who is
incarcerated is not a lost
cause.
"With the violence that
seems to plague our city,
our event to help circum
vent this is what drew me.
here. My own experience
of being incarcerated and
seeing firsthand what moti
vates some to do what they
do has brought me to a bet
ter place of humility," said
Cuthrell.
Cuthrell said a major
challenge is trying to relate
and understand those who
are committing these
crimes and believe there is
still hope, because God did
it for him and he will do it
for them.

peace, we continue to fail to achieve it and this is a time
proven truth since the beginning of time. The fear of the
Lord is the beginning of knowledge, and the lack of fear
or recognition, respect, and reverence for God is both
cause and result of sin. Paul's conclusion then is man has
chosen to live by law, a choice made in the wilderness
period of Israel. The law has since been so perverted by
the very ones it's to protect so that we now live under
grace. That grace is through salvation provided by Christ
on the cross. Law points out sin and guilt, but salvation
saves us from the penalty of sin.

For Your Consideration: What does it mean to fear
God? What does it mean to exist under the power of sin?
Life's Application: We as trusting Christians are no
longer under sin but under grace. We are still however,
sometimes guilty of sin. So, when we fall prey to sin, we
are to confess and forsake our sin and "be restored to fel
lowship and once again experience spiritual power over
sin." (Brian D. Doud). Christ died and rose again that we
might have this privilege as joint heirs with Him.
