An American Pastor in Kiev Ukraine delivering Combat Trauma Medical supplies & Humanitarian Goods

An American Pastor, Reverend Dr. William Devlin of New York City, is presently in Kiev Ukraine delivering Combat Trauma Medical supplies & Humanitarian Goods to the army.

Dr. William Devlin, a pastor from New York City and the volunteer CEO of WidowsAndOrphans.info, is currently in Kiev Ukraine assisting one of the Kiev/Kyiv Territorial Defense Forces on the southern end of Kiev. Devlin traveled to Ukraine on March 12, 2022 from New York City with a team in order to begin the process of bringing front-line Combat Trauma Medical supplies to Lviv and Kiev in order to support the Ukrainian Army regulars and also the Territorial Defense Forces who are Ukraine’s second line of defense here.

Speaking for WidowsAndOrphans.info is their volunteer CEO, Pastor Dr. William Devlin: “I am here to bring aid, comfort, encouragement, hope and practical goods to the Ukrainian fighters who are bravely defending their homeland from the current Russian invasion. As our team has met with senior members and medical directors of the Territorial Defense Forces, they state that their greatest needs are combat trauma medical supplies. These supplies are CAT-7 tourniquets, wound-packing gauze (QuikClot), pressure dressings and bandages, chest seal for sucking chest wounds and Molle pouches to carry the items. Not only are we bringing in these practical items but we are also bringing hope, encouragement and God’s love to these courageous volunteers of the Territorial Defense Forces. These brave men have sent their wives and children to a safe location either here in Ukraine or a neighboring country, yet they have stayed to defend their beloved nation. When the war started, I made every effort to rearrange my life so I could come to Kiev to serve the people of Ukraine.

I hope that, by my example as a Christian pastor, others will follow my lead and come to help and bless the Ukrainian people. We are asking Americans, if they cannot join us, to invest in these combat trauma medical supplies by going to www.WidowsAndOrphans.info and give generously to the Ukrainian fighters. All gifts are tax-deductible; WIdowsAndOrphans.info is a non-profit, 501(c)3.

Thank you as we are here at the risk of our own lives, willing to give our lives for the freedom of the Ukrainian people.”

AD Christie Releases another Gospel Single ‘The Great Dilemma’

Following in the footsteps of his previously powerful singles, AD Christie has released his latest track, ‘The Great Dilemma,’ a cinematic and mighty Gospel creation. The Caribbean multi-instrumentalist, producer and artist is on a mission to shine a light on the teachings of the Bible in an innovative and creative way through the art of music. ‘The Great Dilemma’ was released on the 16th of March 2022.

The lyrics for this song come directly from Proverbs 17:15 and Genesis 18:25 in the Bible. This song vaguely alludes to the contrast between justice and mercy.

God is just and so the question is how can a just God forgive sin? Doesn’t mercy contradict justice? Doesn’t justice demand payment? The answer to these questions is provided in the next song of the series.” explains AD Christie. ‘The Great Dilemma’ is just one piece of the puzzle, the third track in a series of 7 releases of his project ‘The Gospel Context Series,’ which focuses on different elements of the Gospel message.

The overall sonic landscape of ‘The Great Dilemma’ is uplifting and invigorating. Listeners are welcomed by the serenity of a melodic acoustic guitar and gentle piano, while a textured synth brings a contemporary element. A male voice rings through, bright and clear, the distinctive tones of his vocals offer a stunning presence to the instrumentation.

The chorus introduces rhythmic hi-hats, while the standout feature is the strings, anemotive and stirring experience. Epic drum fills add drama to the composition, a cinematic and tremendous addition to the exhilarating soundscape. The euphonious vocal melody is a reassuring guide throughout the track, with layers of harmony providing further dynamism. Building to a crescendoing finale, ’The Great Dilemma’ comes to a dramatic close, letting the vocals shine through for a poignant and melodic ending.

Inspired by the sounds of the cinema, such as composers James Newton Howard and artists Michael W Smith and Ron Kenoly, AD Christie creates sonic visuals with storytelling at the core. Motivated by music and the Gospel, AD Christie has been playing music since 1996, but it wasn’t until 2017 that he felt the calling to compose music that brings awareness to the teachings of the Bible and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Coby James Reimagines Mary Mary’s hit Song “Shackles”

Celebrated, TigerBeat-featured new artist and 20-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist Coby James releases “Shackles (Praise You)” to radio and digital / streaming outlets everywhere today from Centricity Music. The song features Motown Gospel / Capitol CMG’s Evvie McKinney and pays tribute to Mary Mary as a new version of their career-launching debut single released at the turn of the century.

With John Mayer, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes and other influences apparent in his music, James infuses his popular music stylings with soul, urban gospel vibes on “Shackles (Praise You).” This song showcases his rare talent alongside McKinney, winner of the inaugural season of the TV singing competition The Four: Battle for Stardom on FOX.

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just want to praise you
I just want to praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I’m gonna praise you
I’m gonna praise you
(From the “Shackles (Praise You)” chorus)

“‘Shackles (Praise You)’ is such a killer song, and I am excited to introduce it to my generation! Most of us weren’t even born when the original came out,” chuckles James. “Even cooler that I get to sing a Mary Mary song with Evvie during ‘Women’s History Month.’ I’m hoping that music fans think our cover is a worthy tribute to the original.”

“We value fun a lot. And we also aim to develop new artists for the future of the format,” adds Kris Love, Centricity Music’s Senior Director Of National Promotion. “What better way to increase the joy on the radio than with two great young artists and a fantastically fresh take on a familiar classic and joyful song from 20 years ago!”

Playing “Shackles (Praise You)” live during the recent NewReleaseToday.com “We Love Christian Music Awards,” where he was nominated for New Artist / Group of the Year, James’ new single becomes his second release to AC radio following last year’s Billboard Top 10 Hot AC/CHR hit “Brand New.” “Brand New” not only received significant airplay across the nation, but became James’ first K-LOVE Radio Network-premiered concept video. James has also notched a Billboard No. 1 song as a contributing writer on Courtnie Ramirez’s track, “Who We Are, ” and co-wrote his own Top 5 hit “Born Ready.”

In addition to the singles, James has released two acclaimed, self-produced EPs, Mixtape, Side A, which unveiled a set of pop jams, and Mixtape, Side B that shines a spotlight on his acoustic sensibilities rooted in his masterful guitar skills and penchant for storytelling.

Award-Winning Recording Artist Jekalyn Carr Expands Beauty Brand

Jekalyn Carr believes in well-rounded self-care, which includes caring for and enhancing our God-given beauty. With that belief in mind, the inspirational powerhouse will release JEKALYN BEAUTY SKINCARE this Friday, February 18, followed by the release of JEKALYN BEAUTY HAIRCARE by the end of the month. Products can be purchased at www.JEKALYNBEAUTY.com

Featuring natural ingredients that Carr uses herself, JEKALYN BEAUTY’s haircare and skincare lines are for women who want a streamlined system of effective products to meet their beauty needs.

“JEKALYN BEAUTY is a lifelong dream of mine,” says Carr. “We started out with fragrances, and are now releasing haircare and skincare products that complement each other and make it simple to take care of our God-given features.”

Taking deeper care of her own hair and skin was Carr’s personal “pandemic project.” She used the time away from constant travel to work on her own natural beauty – something that she was influenced to do since she was a little girl. “I grew up watching my mother and grandmother fixing themselves up before the left the house, and I became that same kind of woman. I always want to present my best self to the world when I walk out the door. Beauty begins with healthy skin and hair. During the pandemic, I discovered some products and rituals that helped me achieve glowing skin and healthier natural hair. Those recipes and discoveries are the foundation for the JEKALYN BEAUTY Hair and Skincare lines.”

JEKALYN BEAUTY HAIR CARE features four complementary products focused on moisture and conditioning to stimulate healthy growth. In addition to shampoo and conditioner, the line includes a growth serum as well as an edge control that keeps styles in place throughout the day. “I sweat a lot when I am on stage. I need a product that can withstand heat and moisture,” says Carr. “This edge control is for people like me who are active, may sweat a lot and need their edges to stay put! I really love this product. It is effective while being gentle and healthy on the hair.” The growth serum features eucalyptus, grape seed oil and other ingredients that Carr uses to help her natural hair achieve healthy length and thickness.

JEKALYN BEAUTY SKIN CARE features five products that have an emphasis on clearing and brightening the skin. Key ingredients include turmeric, chamomile and Vitamin C – all which fight the effects of aging, clear the skin of acne and dark spots and help the skin maintain a healthy glow. After researching the best natural ingredients for skincare, and experimenting on her own before developing, Carr used these products for four months before approving them for market. “I would never sell anything that I wouldn’t use myself,” she says.

Independently marketed and distributed, JEKALYN BEAUTY was developed with chemists who Carr worked with to perfect the formulas that she had found were effective.

About JEKALYN BEAUTY: JEKALYN BEAUTY is the lifestyle and beauty brand created by inspirational artist and entrepreneur Jekalyn Carr. Established in 2021, its first two products were his and her fragrances that sold out within 24 hours.

About Jekalyn Carr: Jekalyn Carr began singing and ministering professionally when she was only 15 years old. Less than a decade later, she is one of the top-selling independent recording artists in Gospel music, with nine Billboard No.1’s – including five No.1 radio singles, two No.1 albums and two No.1 digital singles. In her career, she has had seven Top-10 songs, four GRAMMY® Award nominations, two Billboard Music Award nominations, over 75 million lifetime global streams, and on YouTube, she has surpassed a total of 95 million views. Carr is the recipient of five Stellar Gospel Music Awards and two Dove Awards. In 2021 she was inducted into the Women’s Songwriters Hall of Fame. She was named one of EBONY Magazine’s ‘Power 100’ as one of the Most Influential People in the World and ranked No. 23 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Artist of the 2010s according to the All Decade-end Charts. Carr is also a speaker, author, entrepreneur and radio show host.

A 19th-Century Bell At Georgetown Lutheran Church Has Resounded For The First Time In Decades

Following a months-long restoration effort funded by the National Bell Festival, the 19th-century bell at Georgetown Lutheran Church has resounded for the first time in decades. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic delaying the bell’s return and rededication celebrations, this historic bell was finally recognized last weekend at Georgetown Lutheran Church. This marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of Georgetown Lutheran Church (1769-2019) and the first completed historic bell restoration by the relatively new charitable organization.

Founded in 2018, the National Bell Festival (BellFest) is the annual New Year’s Day celebration in Washington, D.C. On the first day of the year, bells in towers across the nation ring out together and unite communities around listening parties, eclectic events, and special programming. The organization works throughout the year to restore bells and towers across D.C. to their former thundering glory. Throughout the pandemic, BellFest has pivoted nimbly, offering virtual programming designed to safely foster community, while continuing fundraising efforts to complete this first important milestone.

BellFest makes a mission of uncovering America’s history through the bells that hang above us or, in the case of the bell at Georgetown Lutheran Church, a bell that had sat firmly on the ground. Historic bell restoration projects at the National Bell Festival sometimes have them scrambling up dusty ladders in search of clues to a bell’s age or provenance.

The 19th-Century Bell At Georgetown Lutheran Church Has Resounded For The First Time In Decades - The Christian Mail
Congregation members inspect the newly-restored bell at Georgetown Lutheran Church.

It was known for a fact that a bell at Georgetown Lutheran Church had hung in the tower as early as 1780, and that same bell could be heard ringing in 1829 as described in a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case, Beatty v. Kurtz. But was the bell being restored that original bell? To find out, the National Bell Festival turned to their resident campanologist, Benjamin Sunderlin of the B.A. Sunderlin Bellfoundry in Ruther Glen, Virginia. Ben’s first job was to inspect the bell and provide a professional assessment of its state and origin. Inspecting the bell involved cleaning the surface of oxidation (rust) and toxic patina, testing the metallic composition, and analyzing fractures within the structure. Once Ben’s work was completed, it was concluded that the Georgetown Lutheran bell was most likely cast during the middle- to late-19th century.

This can be attributed to three main findings of the bell: the primary metal in the bell is cast iron, the bell’s shape is indicative of later designs, and there are no evident markings or signatures to indicate a foundry. No one knows where the original bell is, but somewhere along the arc of history, one bell was replaced by another. Most likely lost during the Civil War, the bell was greatly missed at the church and was later replaced with a suitable bell.

Some bells crack – particularly very old bells that have survived the worst harm that centuries, Civil War, and exposure to the elements may impart. Such is true for the bell at Georgetown Lutheran Church. The crack was mapped and stabilized, and a new wood and steel stand was built to display the bell safely inside the church.

Concluding this historic bell restoration project, guests of the National Bell Festival and congregation members gathered around the veil-draped bell within the church’s narthex, following the morning worship service at Washington’s oldest Lutheran church. Before revealing the newly-restored bell, festival director Paul Ashe gave a few remarks on the bell’s enigmatic past.

A blessing by Pastor Brett Wilson rededicated the bell, which hadn’t rung since the mid-20th century, to the church’s mission. Congregation member Sophie Guiny then led a countdown to the first tolling, when three clear strikes of the clapper produced rich, resonant tones, to the general approval of those gathered. An inscription engraved on a plate at the base of the structure reads:

This 19th century bell
Given to the church in 1973 by William H. Stombock
Was restored by the National Bell Festival
And rededicated to mark the 250th anniversary
Of the founding of Georgetown Lutheran Church
1769-2019
