Good News!
Attention Roll Call Members:
It was gratifying to learn that our newest member—the youth ministry of Pilgrim Baptist Church in Newark, Delaware—successfully sold copies of The Positive Community magazine to members of the congregation. This development is truly encouraging. Notably, after church the publication sold out immediately, necessitating the youth to reorder additional copies to meet customer demand!
Member congregations that already purchase The Positive Community in bulk and distribute it free of charge now have the opportunity to assign this community-building initiative to their young people.
Thank you, Rev. Dr. Lonnie Rector, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church and president of the New England Missionary Baptist Convention—“The Oldest African American Convention on Record”—for your wise leadership, foresight, and legacy.
The Pillars of Progress
This represents a significant advancement. Together, let us inspire a new generation of business leaders—young, dedicated entrepreneurs and innovators; communicators and managers. Everyone benefits! The inherent potential and possibilities of such a youth entrepreneur model are boundless.
The economics of culture—teamwork powered by quality and compassionate service—will propel our communities forward. After all, cultural pride is a positive attribute, as is self-esteem. Let us embrace the pillars of prosperity and progress: the ideals of self-acceptance, self-reliance, and self-respect, along with loving service and positive change.
About the Future
In these turbulent times, we find much comfort united in faith, hope, courage, and the will to go forth. We must all do something positive—together—to secure a future for our children, our community, and our culture, our collective soul. We seek everyone’s participation in and support of this most timely, noble, and righteous cause—The Business About the Future!
