Worldwide Music artist
Roosevelt
George releases third music video "I Trust
In
You"
Minneapolis, MN/Houston, TX (GMS) -
Worldwide Music Inc. and Gospel Truth
Magazine headed by Kerry Douglas have
a new artist Roosevelt George, who is rapidly
becoming a radio airplay favorite with the release of
his single music video "I Get Joy" featured in the
Gospel Truth Magazine's Gospel '07 CD/DVD
compilation and listed in the top 10. On the heels of
the Gospel Truth Magazine's Gospel '07 CD/DVD
compilation release, Roosevelt George has
wasted no time, his third music video titled "I Trust
In You" is already premiering on GRACE Media
Network (GMNetwork.cc) and YouTube.com.
"I Trust In You" is the third video project co-
directed by George and the 'sought out' Florida based
Hondel Brothers Films. The music videos
have been released as a prelude to his 2007 CD
project soon to be released by Worldwide Music Inc.
titled Sent To Encourage You. The CD was
produced by the GRAMMY nominated and Stellar
Award-winning F. Darnell Davis and written
entirely by Roosevelt George.
His discography includes other songs he's
written
such as "Jesus Is Holy" featured on the Preaching To
The Choir Movie Soundtrack (Alliant Music Group/April
2006/A Code Black Entertainment Movie). Stellar
Award winning and Grammy nominated Excelsior
recorded his "Things Will Work Out" (God @
Work/Verity Records 2001); Chart topper Cheryl Lynn
recorded his "People Need Love" and performed it
during her Japan tour. Roosevelt George wrote this
song as an awareness message to the world and a
love message to the families suffering & dying from
the deadly Aids epidemic; Stellar Awards 2006
nominee James Grear & Nu Friends recorded "Jesus
Is Holy" and re-recorded "Something's Happenin"
(James Grear & Nu Friends Live/Alliant Records
2005). He wrote songs on all five projects released
with Gold-selling group James Grear & Company --
the inspirational, non-gospel "Beautiful Black People"
was released as a radio single to gospel and urban
radio to coincide with Black History month and
successfully spent 30 plus weeks at the top of
Billboard Gospel, plus R&B charts and "Song of
Repentance" (Don't Give Up/Born Again Records
1998); "All You Need" (lead vocals by Qwan Howell &
Jack Yates), "Believe In Yourself" (lead & background
vocals by Jamecia Bennett) and "Oh Please" (The
Next Level/Born Again 2000); "Heaven" and "Jesus
You're First In My Life" (What Will Your Life Say/Born
Again Records 2002); "Angels" and "Something's
Happenin" (A Special Place/Liquid 8 Records 2004).
"I Trust In You" is dubbed as an unforgetable
& provacative performance. The project is a
dramatization based on the true story of Tatika Williams' attempted suicide (portraying herself), but God
delivered her and set her free.
Roosevelt George's vocal and songwriting edge, also
adding music video co-directing/performance, is fast
garnering radio play and music industry attention. His
music has given 'overcoming' inspiration to both
gospel and secular fans from the USA to Japan and
Italy. Now, his music is reaching world wide via the
Internet -- watch the premiere of "I Trust In
You" on GRACE Media Network
(www.GMNetwork.cc) and YouTube.com.

The Twin Cities Chapter of the National
Association of Black Accountants, Inc. (NABA) and
Augsburg College will sponsor the
Accounting Career Awareness Program
(ACAP) during the week of July 8- 12th, 2007
on the campus of Augsburg College,
Minneapolis, MN.
ACAP was created to provide early exposure
of the career opportunities in the accounting, finance
and other business related fields to high school
students. This one-week residency program provides
students excellent opportunities to not only learn more
about their future career opportunities, but also to
meet other students within the Minneapolis/St. Paul
metropolis and surrounding cities. The students will
have a great time on the Augsburg campus as well!
ACAP will provide hands on learning experiences,
enhanced with several tours of major corporations. A
series of classes will introduce students to
accounting, marketing, and management, as well as
shared business experiences and tips for success
from professional business leaders.
This year, we will sponsor a maximum of 20
students. These students will attend ACAP with all
expenses paid. Students will be selected for ACAP
through the application process. All applicants
must be either a junior or senior, have a current GPA
of 3.0 (exceptions will be considered based
on merit) and meet all requirements outlined in the
application. Additionally, selected students into the
program will have an opportunity to compete for
scholarships to be used to defray expenses directly
related to tuition and fees upon acceptance and
enrollment into an accredited College or University.
The student must complete the semester in which
the scholarship is awarded with a satisfactory grade
of C or better.
Your assistance is needed in identifying a diverse
group of qualified candidates from ethnic minority
backgrounds. We have provided you with a brief one-
page summary about ACAP and contact information
should you choose to contact us.
Applications must be received and/or postmarked by
May 1st, 2007 (No exceptions). Interviews will be
conducted at the Augsburg Campus on May 15th,
2007. Students selected for ACAP will be notified no
later than May 25th, 2007.

Two-Week Residential Journalism Camp run by
ThreeSixty at the University of St.
Thomas from June 17-29
As spring break draws near, please encourage one or
two of your best students with an interest in
journalism to apply for the two-week residential
journalism camp run by ThreeSixty at the
University of St. Thomas from June 17-29. (A one-
week broadcast journalism day camp goes from
July 2-6.)
Here are the basics:
We'll choose 20 Minnesota high school students -
primarily students of color - to come to our summer
journalism camp at the University of St. Thomas in St.
Paul. From June 17-29, they'll live and work on
campus, learning about journalism, working with
professional journalists, visiting newsrooms and
reporting and writing stories that will be published in
the Star Tribune and Pioneer Press.
PLUS they'll learn the basics of one of the following:
Podcasting, website design, newspaper lay-out or
broadcast reporting. PLUS there's an extra
week for students interested in broadcasting.
Best yet: There's no charge. In fact, we
provide spending money and give an
extra $300 to students from low-income families. And
students who finish the program can apply for a full-
tuition, four-year scholarship to study
journalism at St. Thomas. Four graduates of our
summer program are here now on these
scholarships. Two more are at the U of M.
Prior experience with journalism isn't required.
Neither is a perfect GPA. We're looking for curious,
hard-working students who are eager to tell stories.
PLEASE: Tap one or two kids on the shoulder and
push them to write the essay, gather the writing
samples and send us the applications. Write us a
short letter telling why this student is special.
When they come back to you, they'll write better and
ask smarter questions. They'll care more about
journalism. They'll know more about the world. For
some, the experience will change their lives. That's
what you're about. So are we.
Applications are available at our Web site

3,000 Inner-City Kids Experience Joy Through Gift-
Filled ‘Easter Bags’
Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN — Candy and gifts can be
rare luxuries for a child living in a low-income family.
But this Easter, thanks to some 200 volunteers, more
than 3,000 Twin City inner-city kids are in for a treat.
The urban ministry Here’s Life Inner City is
working with inner-city churches and local volunteers
to help pack and deliver more than 29,000 Easter
Bags nation wide and in the Twin Cities 3,000
will be delivered - each lovingly filled with candy,
fruit, toys, crayons and an activity book, and a
children’s version of the Easter story.
“We first began offering Easter Bags to inner-city
churches in 1990,” said Ted Gandy, national
director of Here’s Life Inner City. “After all these years,
they continue to be one of our most effective ways to
connect with children in great need - physical,
spiritual, and emotional.”
A “packing party” to assemble the Easter
Bags took place on March 23-24, 2007 at the
Here’s Life
Inner City Community Resource Center Warehouse in
NE Minneapolis.
Contact John Sather,
Twin City Director for Here's Life Inner City at 612-791-
1683 or go to www.hlictwincities.org. The distribution
of the 3,000 Easter Bags will take place the week of
April 1-8.
Since 1983, Here’s Life Inner City and more than a
thousand partner churches and organizations have
been responding to the growing epidemic of poverty
and despair in the inner city. The wide-ranging efforts
have provided the poor with food and other basic
necessities, life skills, career development, and youth
development programs.
Here’s Life Inner City, the urban ministry of Campus
Crusade for Christ, International, is dedicated to
equipping churches to provide help and hope to the
poverty-stricken in their communities.
***********************************************************
The 3rd annual All Metro-30 Hour Famine will
be held April 27-28 at Prince of Peace

hunger. 40,000 children die every day as a result of
hunger and hunger related disease.
As congregations join together they will be joined by
Minneapolis based comedy group, Comedy Sportz
and hear keynote speaker Shane Claiborne. Shane is
one of the founding members of The Simple Way, a
faith community dedicated "To Love God. To Love
People. To Follow Jesus." Shane's travels have
taken him to Calcutta to work with Mother Teresa, to
Iraq, and back home to the streets of Philadelphia.
Participants of the All Metro-30 Hour Famine will also
package food with Feed My Starving Children, take
part in Bible Studies and other activities.

YOUTH and YOUNG ADULTS CONFERENCE
JUNE 14 - JUNE 16, 2007
Theme: “HOLD ON” There’s Peace In the Storm
Greetings to every leader who is reading this
letter
about the upcoming youth and young adults’
conference in June. My words, I pray will not fall on
deaf ears. I am deeply concerned by the direction that
our many of our young people are going. In some
instances we are losing the battle against the enemy,
in guiding our young people. Many times we simply
cannot reach them. Our conventional means on some
occasions have not given us the desired results. This
is a time like never before that we need to embrace
our young people and present them with opportunities
that will undoubtedly have a life changing impact and
an immediate, and enduring directional shift towards
Jesus Christ our Lord.
I feel that this is an excellent opportunity for young
people to come together and be able to express the
ministry that God has given them individually and
collectively, in the presence of other young people.
This is going to be a time of celebration, a time of
praise and worship, and a time of enjoyment. I have
had the honor of ministering and serving with many of
your young people in many different capacities. I have
prayed with them, over them, and for them that they
might reach their full potential in God and be
beneficial to the church.
I believe that this time of refreshing is necessary in
order that our young people don’t feel devalued and
out of place in the church. There is, as you know, a lot
of work that goes into making a conference
successful. We, the staff here at Vision Ministries INC
believe that this is a worthwhile endeavor. Reaching
our youth and young adults must be a priority, or we
will lose them forever to BET, MTV, the Internet, Video
Games and traps in society.
I am asking that you see the relevance, and make
every effort to see that you are well represented. Allow
your young people to display their gifts, talents and
abilities. Allow us to minister to them that they might
open up and be healed, delivered and set free from
the things that bind them. If you have a previous
engagement or are unable to attend, we would gladly
accept your monetary gifts. This will enable us to
bless some one who does not have adequate funds
but has a desire to seek God through this anointed
meeting. Your urgent attention is requested in this
manner.
The conference fees are included on the registration.
