Why is Fellowship Important?

I belong in God’s family with other believers and I need encouragement to grow spiritually.
“Let us think of one another and how we encourage each other to love and to do good deeds.” Hebrews 10:24
9 Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
I need accountability to grow spiritually. 13 You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.” Hebrews 3:13
1 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:1&2
Christ is present when we fellowship together. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20
There is Great Power when people pray together. 19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. Matthew 18:19
As Christians we are obligated to:
Serve one another, Galatians 5:13
Accept one another, Romans 15:7
Forgive one another, Colossians 3:13
Greet one another, Romans 6:16
Bear one another’s burdens, Galatians 6:2
Be devoted to one another, Romans 12:10
Honor one another, Romans 12:10
Teach one another, Romans 15:14
Submit to one another, Ephesians 5:21
Encourage one another, I Thessalonians 5:11

Health Tips by Dr. Na Tosha N. Gatson
The Importance of Vitamin D

Vitamin D has been found to play a role in multiple processes in our bodies including: immune system function, bone health, nervous system processes and general strength and energy to name a few. In fact, some disease states, such as multiple sclerosis and some cancers have been found to be associated with increased risk in patients with low vitamin D levels. There have been several new scientific reports about testing and treatment of low Vitamin D levels in patients. Risk factors for low Vitamin D includes: poor sun exposure, poor diet and dark skin to name a few. It is important we ask our family physicians or other primary care providers about our risks and the need for blood testing.

(Paul, Daireon & Kyndal) In 1994 Kimberly was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, which is a blood cancer . It was a hard fought battle but after several rounds of chemotherapy she was victorious. She has been in remission for over 10 years. Kimberly enjoys people, singing, SHOPPING, entertaining and of course, her children. She is also a happy. vibrant person who likes practical jokes, & her family including church family, but is an emotional being. If you cry, she will be right there crying too! Yep, she’s a cry baby!! Her latest crying spell was when her son turned 21. She sought the comfort of a close friend. Kimberly will be returning to school in the winter to finish her degree in Business Management at Columbus State Community College. Lastly, Kimberly acknowledged her calling to the ministry in 2004. She is one the youth ministers @ APWC and is also the Church Administrator. Kimberly is pictured to the right with her 90 year old grandmother.

My Life, My Story...by Daireon J. Allen

My name is Daireon Allen and I am 18 years old and I was born in 1991, here in Columbus. I have an older brother and younger sister. In my 18 short years I have experienced a lot. I am a very quiet person and being quiet has put me through a lot of struggles, especially in school. Kids thought I was stuck up and they always challenged me. This took my focus away from school work and really it affected my attitude. I knew there was going to be a time when I was going to have to fight because the word was, I was going to get jumped. Sure enough at a school football game, 5 guys from school jumped me in the parking lot. I felt I needed to fight to defend myself and to get it over with. This got me suspended from school and missing out on several assignments. Other fights occurred which resulted in more suspension and even an expulsion. Charges were filed against from me the youth that started the whole incident. All of this resulted in my not graduating on time. I had a very bad attitude. I had gotten to the point where I had just given up on school and the school system. I felt that no one was on my side besides my family. Let this be a lesson that fighting is not a good solution. I could have been institutionalized but thanks to a praying family, I didn’t have to do any jail time. Prayer works!!!

Mission/Vision

The Abounding Praise Worship Center is a word and love ministry designed to evangelized the lost at any cost, and empower the people of God, and provide for our community as well as the world. We are a people with heart for God, brothers and sisters who care about individuals and families. Here at Abounding Praise Worship Center you will see and experience the real love of Jesus Christ as you become part of his body. Our desire is that you will be blessed of the Lord and shown by the Holy Spirit your purpose in God. God gave Pastor Draper and his wife, Charlene a vision for the ministry to teach people more copious ways of Praise and Worship. This ministry has been ordained and anointed by God to minister to the Total Man (spirit, soul, and body). We are committed by the Lord to unite the body of Christ, tearing down walls that have worked to separate us instead of unifying us. We are further committed to bring people by God, into reality, understanding God's word, flowing in God's love and deliverance and operating in the five-fold ministry and gifts of the Spirit. We are committed to the spirit of excellence and are striving to become hope within the Columbus, Ohio community and nation by promoting and providing education, empowerment, as well as financial independence.
We embrace freedom in worship because the word says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” Our foundation is the word of God and we believe it, in its entirety.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, aside from skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States this year. An estimated 40,170 women are expected to die from the disease in 2009 alone. Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in one or both of the breasts. Breast cancer usually develops in the ducts or lobules, also known as the milk-producing areas of the breast. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women (after lung cancer). Although African-American women have a slightly lower incidence of breast cancer after age 40 than Caucasian women, they have a slightly higher incidence rate of breast cancer before age 40. However, African-American women are more likely to die from breast cancer at every age. Breast cancer is much less common in males; by comparison, the disease is about 100 times more common among women. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 1,910 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among men in the United States in 2009.
