Have a Heart for Homeless Teens
"In July 2012, the El Paso County Department of Human Services shared the magnitude of teens in congregate care and the fact that a part of the problem was that there simply was not enough options available in the "housing" area. Well, I…"

Former Teen Mom Graduates With Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling.Says she: "After being on a panel to prevent teen pregnancy sponsored by the YWCA, I made a decision to be an example of success for teen mothers. I wanted them to know that having a baby as a teen is not the end of your life. I wanted them to know that they can still be successful, have careers, marry mature men who love them and their child. Looking back at it now, it is amazing that at 17, I discovered purpose and…See More
Apostle Ella J. Melvin posted a blog postGod In The City
Hello Colorado Springs,I'm traveling around the nation during this summer and was not able to be in the Springs during the Waldo Canyon fire but my heart was breaking as I watched it on the internet. My beloved mountains were ablaze and I was helpless to do anything but pray, and that from a great distance away, Florida. But God was faithful to spare a great deal of lives and even more property than was lost. I know what it feels like to be displaced, to lose everything you hold dear, to push…See More
Apostle Ella J. Melvin posted a blog postBlack History and National Marriage Week birth "Expressions of the Soul"
This month as a nation, we celebrate Black History month and the historical contributions made by African Americans. It's a wonderful concept and we should study our history in order to contribute effectively to our future. While recently researching how to become a participant in National Marriage Week USA (February 7-14), I discovered some historical statistics about marriage in America. Quoting from a press release provided by National Marriage Week USA: "A Marriage Index, released jointly…See More

Local spiritual leaders are asked to come together for prayer to seek the face of God for his specific will for our local area.

Apostle Ella J. Melvin posted a blog postTeen Fathers Awareness Month
"It Takes a Whole Village to Raise A Child"Wherever there is a teen mom, there is usally a teen father. Though the age of the father tends to be a slightly older than the mother, there is still a need for training in the area of parenting for both teen or young adult parents. Who will take the responsibility to guide our teens (especially teen fathers) once they have made the giant leap into manhood? What of the 19-yr old father who sits in jail for beating his infant to death? Whose…See More

MAN-UP
"IT TAKES A WHOLE VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD..." We declare June 18, 2011 Teen Fathers Awareness Day. There will be a community-wide Baby Shower to bring awareness to the plight of teen pregnancy in our community. Step up, men. Take responsibility for the generation that follows and show them the way. Sons tend to mimic the actions and attitudes of their fathers, at least when there is a father present in their lives. Let's stop the epidemic of single parent households by training our young men…See More

LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK
Job 22:28 "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways." The dictionary definition for decree is: Theology . one of the eternal purposes of God, by which events are foreordained or to command, ordain, or decide by decree. In the realm of things spiritual, God issues a decree and his prophets declare the decree that he has…See More

August 8 is my birthday and I've decided to give myself the best birthday gift of all: I've decided to celebrate others. I believe that I was born to bring awareness to others about the power of a woman in ministry. So, I am hosting a "networking party/birthday party" on my birthday at the Lorraine Community center. A great part of the festivities will be acknowledging and celebrating other women in ministry. In this hour, it is important that women in ministry understand their worth and value…See More
