My daughter Brittanny graduated from high school this past June. She was 16th in her class, honor society and Dance major at the Arts Magnet School. Throughout the school year she applied for numerous scholarships. She completed so many that the counselor gave her a certificate to acknowledge that she filled out the most scholarship applications. Much to our dismay, we received only $650.00 from all of these and I looked at the bill which was due 7/31/08. With loans we still owed about 4,000 to register for this semester. Without taking the student loans, the balance of the bill is 12,005.00 for the 2008-2009 school year. What are we going to do? We continued to believe that God would make a way. Well, for the last five years Brittanny and I have attended Spirit of Faith Christian Center in Temple Hills, Md. under Drs. Mike and Dee Dee Freeman and are both faithful tithers. For the last 5 years, Brittanny diligently sowed her time and talent into the ministry and participated in several Teen conferences and the Entrepreneurship Program. We have ripped and run for many occasions for her to minister in dance. Likewise, I am active in our Music Ministry in the choir and lyrics ministry during praise and worship and done dance ministry as well. I just graduated from our bible school and have sown faithfully into the scholarship offering year after year confessing that when Brit graduates she would go to school debt free because of my seed. Well, this is the Year of Reaping at my Church, and last night, during the scholarship offering, BRITTANNY ALEXIS SIMONE TYREE was announced as the 2008 Michael A Freeman Educational Scholarship Award Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The award is $12,000.00, TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AGAPE!

This is indeed great news. Brittanny will be attending The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Until next time, take care.

Hey Mark and Rubye. I just read your testimony and called Dwight Freeman (your pastor's brother) who works in the Development Office of Norfolk State University for which I chair the development committee. Dwight was soo happy to hear about this that he asked me to forward it to him. He in turn said he would forward it to his brother knowing that it would make his day. To God be the glory
