Standing on the comer, gang-banging
life away holds no future. The stark reality
of street life was the message of organiz­
ers at the fourth annual Youth Anti-Gang
Outreach at Fellowship Ministry Baptist
Church on Sunday, Dec. 14.
Rev. C harles Me C loud is director o f
the program and Bishop Johnny Pack
IV is the pastor of the north Portland
church.
M cCloud says faith in God can keep
at-risk kids away from a life of crime and
violence.
“Just because th ey ’ve made some
m istakes d o esn ’t mean you have to
throw them to the wolves. Jesus loves
them. So do I,” he said.
The gang o u treach ’s them e. Stand­
ing for Children, em bodied the philoso­
phy of the day, which drew attention
with skits and music and may soon hit
the road to spread the anti-gang m es­
sage, nationally.
Under Me Cleoud's direction, youth
from many churches and schools through­
out the city are giving testimonials, orga­
nizing musical performances and much
more as an alternative to gang activity.
To make a donation to the anti-gang
efforts, call 503-234-4452.
Beverly Crawford
A Chorus
of Family
Gospel singer Beverly Crawford has a huge
family. She’s toured with her siblings and par­
ents, giving gospel performances since she
was five-years-old. She considers her fans her
family, as well.
Her newest album, “Family and Friends
LIVE!" is a rockin’ and soothing mix of gospel
dexterity featuring her father, daughter and six
siblings.
Crawford perfected her musical skills through
the first half of the 90s as the lead singer for the
gospel artist and impresario Jones’ group
Bobby Jones and New Life. She amassed a
fervent following for her live performances
before ever entering a recording studio as a
solo artist.
The album, released by EMI Gospel Records,
is available now.
