17 FEBRUARY 2019 BODY OF CHRIST NEWS Teach Our Children Purpose Bannered Host Ministries enters our 7th year of its life chang- ing, 100% Bible centered mentorship, teaching, and coaching program for our most valuable treasures referred to in scripture as our “LAMBS”. Peter was asked a very challenging question by the Lord himself in John 21:15- 17 regarding a priority that is often overlooked. “Feed My Lambs” is first, followed by “Feed My Sheep” twice. As a nation, as a society we can no longer afford to under train and under prepare our children, our lambs. In nature, little baby turtles hatch on the beaches around the world and franti- cally race to the oceans all over the world only to become victims of preda- tors waiting to take advantage of an innocent, tender meal. I am Pastor Mike Spivey, former professional football player and busi- nessman. I grew up in a single par- ent home in Houston, Texas. A full ride scholarship brought me to the University of Colorado where I was like a fish out of water. However, I have been successful because I learned how to apply the principles of “Purpose”. Our “After God’s Own Heart” Youth Mentoring Program teaches and coaches our precious treasures, our children, ages 10-16 in Financial Planning, College Preparedness, Self Esteem, Nutrition & Fitness, Self Defense, Spiritual Warfare and the Truth About Drugs. The core founda- tion of our program taught by our staff is “The Purity Code” which teaches no sex or pregnancies before marriage and how Satan utilizes his tool box against our children, our lambs in an effort to slaughter their very souls (1 Peter 5:8). We also address the various social media traps and the ongoing problem of human trafficking, specifically as it relates to children. In the Spiritual Warfare classes the children learn how to guard and defend their hearts against the lies that saturate their world. If they are to survive, our future generations must be taught TRUTH! SAVE THE DATES: February 23, 9am- Visit our booth @ The Shift Freedom Conference held at City Point Church, 200 S.

Bishop Demmer said he is excited about the future of things the ministe- rial alliance are planning. “We have such a mighty power- ful ministry that has been in exis- tence for the last 78 years. We stood on the shoulders of great men, who we call our city fathers like Bishop Phillip Porter, Bishop Acen Phillips, Rev. Dr. James Peters and Rev. Dr. Bob Wilfolke. So it will be an honor to serve under such great capacity.” More young people are joining the alliance, BIshop Demmer added, as the young and old will be working together for a even better alliance. “We want to bring young people in, give them a platform, give them a voice,” he said. “Also work with our politicians. We are excited about Colorado because of our eight black elected politicians - six in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate.” “We are here for the community, to serve the community. We are here for when we are done wrong and to take a stance. And will not allow you to treat our community any kind of way.” According to Bishop Demmer it is a brand new day under his leadership and what God is getting ready to do in leading the Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance into 2019.
