West Blvd Ministry had a BIG afternoon with the Harlem Globetrotters. It’s a memory that every child should have. Grateful for our WBM Family that make dreams like today a reality.
West Blvd Ministry partnered with our friends for another amazing day of fellowship, food and games. We are better together and today proves that once again. We love our families in Stonewall Jackson Apartments and are blessed that God has us there to live the gospel out. #wbm #cmpdfreedom #mphighschoolhonorsociety #hivefitness #vizionchurch #ncmedassist

Messiah has been a part of West Blvd Ministry for three years. Over his years with the program he has grown into one of our leaders, receiving the weekly MVP on numerous occasions and has been involved in the Reading Stars program as well. He is a wonderful young man whose smile lights up any room he walks into. What he loves the most about WBM is the Reading Stars program on Monday nights because it helps him with his reading skills. He also loves the coaches who encourage him to do his best every day as well as remind him to read his bible daily for 5 minutes. His favorite bible verse is Genesis 9:13 because it means God promised that He won’t flood the earth again, no more destruction.
Messiah has three values that are important to him.First one being honesty, because one way or another the truth will come back in a good way or bad way, so might as well always tell the truth. Secondly, accountability is important to him because if he does something wrong and doesn’t take accountability for it, then someone else could get blamed for something they didn’t do. Lastly, courage because he likes trying new things.. He expresses his gratitude by always saying “thank you” and praying daily.
Messiah remembers a time when he helped his friend Branson after he fell and bumped his head. It made him happy to be able to help because that is his best friend and he doesn’t want anything bad to happen to him. Being a part of WMB had impacted Messiah a lot because the coaches gave him a bible. Before the program, he didn’t read the bible but now he does and it teaches him important things in life.
On the school side, Messiah enjoys science because he likes to create things as well as animals. His love for animals has extended to him wanting to be a zoologist when he gets older. He loves the animals he has at home, which include, a bearded dragon and three leopard geckos. Messiah faced a challenge at school when he only had five minutes to finish seven problems. He did not want to get a zero on those questions so he focused and was determined to finish. When Messiah is not at school or at WBM, he is playing his Nintendo with his family or watching t.v. His favorite thing to do with them is going out to eat or to Carowinds. He is one of 6 siblings who support each other by making sure they pass on what they know to their younger siblings.
Messiah has big goals for his future. Short term, he wants to get A honor roll in his time at school. However, long term, he wants to get a masters degree in science to help him pursue his goal of becoming a zoologist. This young man was asked what he saw when he looked in the mirror and his response was “a smart young man that grows everyday!” and we couldn’t agree more. We are so proud of Messiah and blessed to be a part of his journey.
Grateful for all of our friends at West Blvd Ministry that makes nights like these possible. Yes, we had a BIG time at the Charlotte Checkers Game last night. #wbmstars #charlottecheckers
WBM STAR of the Month! Branson has been a part of the WBM STARS program going on three years. What Branson loves the most about West Blvd Ministry is the profound impact of the coaches, who consistently go above and beyond, imparting valuable life lessons. Expressing gratitude is a daily practice for him, marked by saying “Thank you” and employing good manners. Branson is always the first to ask if anyone needs help and the first to help set up or clean up at Gracie’s House. Trust is a pivotal value in Branson’s life, often serving as a gateway to leadership opportunities. Luke 18:27 is one of Branson’s favorite Bible verses, as he has witnessed firsthand that God has turned the impossible into possible in his life. A particularly memorable moment for Branson was walking alongside and lifting up Messiah when he was upset about a football game. West Blvd Ministry has not only transformed Branson’s language and outlook but also played a pivotal role in his mother’s journey to becoming a medic, with the guidance and support of Mr. Bart.
In the school realm, Branson’s favorite subject is math, enjoying the challenge equations present. Soccer stands as his preferred extracurricular activity, embracing the elements of teamwork and competitiveness, with a specific fondness for playing defense. Branson is in his third year of the weekly Reading STARS program that focuses on comprehension and fluency. Overcoming reading challenges involves persistent effort, thoughtful problem-solving, and seeking assistance when needed. His perfect attendance in Reading STARS attest to his desire to exceed grade level expectations in reading fluency.
Within Branson’s family, cherished activities include watching fantasy movies and shows, such as Percy Jackson. His two sisters, aged 13 and 19, mutually support each other by standing up for one another. Branson has big dreams! He wants to help his grandpa in Texas who isn’t feeling well, and he also dreams of becoming an awesome soccer player. When he looks in the mirror, he sees a handsome young man. His future goal is to be a medic and drive an ambulance, just like his mom who has an impactful role in the medical field. Branson is full of dreams and determination! West Blvd Ministry is blessed to have Branson part of our family!
WBM had 12 young men, 2 coaches & 2 family members demonstrate their commitment to Christ. It was an absolutely INCREDIBLE morning at Moments Of Hope Church. Revival broke out during the baptisms and over 60 individuals were baptized in the Holy Spirit. Tears, hugs, joy and songs of praise were boundless.
Spreading love inspired by the heart of Jesus. These young hearts turned Valentine’s Day into a celebration of selfless love and genuine connections. #LoveLikeJesus
West Blvd Ministry started a new tradition today. Painting a ‘Happy Birthday’ for each of our WBM Stars on respective school rocks to show our love for them. This was today at Renaissance West Steam Academy. Believe it when I tell you this is the 1st Birthday Wish on this School Rock since the school doors opened in 2017, the rock has only been painted once by the 5th grade in 2023. Be the Change! Happy 10th Birthday Quez!
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound. Merry Christmas from the West Blvd Ministry Family. Today we served 100’s of children & families throughout the West Blvd corridor.
