The African Children's Choir
March 17, 2007 Durham, NC-- Statistics state that by 2010 there will be an estimated 18 million AIDS orphans in Africa. The African Medical Research Foundation (AMREF) reports that despite concerted efforts to put an end to it, the HIV/AIDS pandemic remains a global disaster. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) harbors nearly 65% of the estimated 40.3 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the world in 2005. While general awareness about HIV and its causes is almost universal in most of SSA, transmission has not abated, AMREF further reports.
On the other side of the world, many different concerned groups and citizens are not only listening or merely watching, but are pro-actively defending the cause of the fatherless, the oppressed and the orphans of Africa. 2007 March 17, the African Children’s Choir (ACC), with ages 7 to 11 years old arrives in their new home here in North Carolina sponsored by King's Park International Church (kpic.org).

May 14, 2006 New York, NY --- In 1948, the people of Israel miraculously
became a nation once again. On May 14, 2006, Morning Star New York commemorated
Israeli Independence Day with a special celebration hosted by Senior Pastor
Ron & his wife, Lynette Lewis. Dubbed "Bless Israel Night,"
the event not only feted Israel's 58th year as a nation.
The night also opened a major door for MSNY to begin seriously building
bridges with one of New York City's most important cultures - the Jewish
people.
New York City is a world capital of Jewish culture. More than 1.4 million Jewish people live in NYC - more than twice as high as the Jewish population in Jerusalem, the largest city in Israel.
The night was a humble yet promising beginning of reconciliation between the multi-ethnic members of MSNY and the Jewish people. Many of the congregation's members brought their Jewish friends and colleagues, and were especially pleased to receive the Consul for Public Affairs at the Consulate General of Israel in New York, Amir Ofek, who graciously replied to the invitation.

Ron Lewis and Jamie Lathan joyfully sharing with KPIC's congregation Jamie's |
On Thursday, February 22, President George W. Bush presented the President's Volunteer Service Award to Kings Park member Jamie Lathan just after landing on Air Force 1 at the Raleigh/Durham International Airport. Jamie was honored for his weekly commitment of mentoring for the past four years at our Life Center in the Cornwallis Community in Durham.
As most of you may know, our Life Center exists to benefit the lives of children and families living in low-income environments through daily after- school academic programs, teen leadership clubs, and parental guidance programs. To thank volunteers for making a difference in the lives of others, President Bush honors a local volunteer, called a USA Freedom Corps Greeter, when he travels throughout the United States. This award is carefully presented by President Bush and less than 600 volunteers have been recipients since its inception.
My sincere congratulation goes to Jamie for your years of devotion
and dedication in serving at-risk youth living in and around the Life
Center community. I also want to thank and honor all of our amazing
friends and members who give so much in volunteering to this ministry
and so many others. This recognition is something we can all relish
in, knowing that this team effort is making a difference in the lives
of so many. I trust we can all praise God and thank the team and board
of the life center. What started as a humble effort to honor Jesus in
a "tough" place has been recognized by our President. One day we
will all reap a reward from the King of Kings, if we do not grow weary
in well doing (Galatians 6:9-10). Continued...
Sen. Brownback during his January 2006 visit in New York City (Photos by John Pringle) |
January 8, 2006 New York, NY --- Knowing that New York City is a hub of world leaders and future world changers, Senior Pastor Ron Lewis and the pastoral team at Morning Star New York have come up with various ways to cultivate the leadership gifts and skills of MSNY's members. A particular emphasis is made on leadership development, with many special courses, ministries, and geared towards this important subject.
One of MSNY's most significant leadership development events yet occurred when U.S. Senator Sam Brownback visited the congregation's Sunday evening service last January to speak on leadership principles. Brownback was joined in by the former Rev. Harald Bredesen, a long-time minister to world leaders, and a number of close friends of MSNY family from around the country.
Senator Brownback began by sharing a brief history of his spiritual development. Although he became a Christian at an early age, he now admits that for many years he pursued his faith primarily as a way to earn favor with God and others on his quest to serve in public office. It was not until 1995 to 1996 as a US Congressman that things began to change when he received what he calls "the greatest blessing of my life" - a diagnosis of melanomic skin cancer.
He then described how his battle to overcome cancer resulted in a new
understanding of what it means to truly serve God. By accepting God's
challenge to face his disease and to trust that God would take care of
the situation, Senator Brownback came to appreciate what the Bible means
when it exhorts us to "die to ourselves." (Rom 14:7). By learning
to respond to hardship with rejoicing rather than fear and doubt, Sen.
Brownback can now see God's power operating in his life like never before.

Daniel Chinen sharing with Ron Lewis and everyone at Campus Harvest '07 about the "fuego" he has been experiencing in his walk with God (Photo by: Anita Letkemann) |
March 23-25, 2007 Durham, NC --- Campus Harvest is a revival for college students in Durham, N.C. where thousands of young adults gather to praise God. In March 2007, over 1700 from almost 250 schools attended the event in King's Park International Church.
"The atmosphere is so encouraging because many times as a Christian college student, I feel like I am the only student on my campus trying to live for God in every aspect of my life," Columbia University junior Ashley Williams said. "But at Campus Harvest I get to see 2000 other college students just as on fire for God and it doesn't feel like I'm running alone."
The event included speakers and worship, including one extended worship night Williams said was the highlight of the conference.
"God inhabits the praises of His people," she said, "so we praised and He showed up."
For New York University freshman, Lydia Vellchkovski, this was her first Campus Harvest. She said the conference taught her to develop a habit of listening to God. Continued...

Nathan Lewis (extreme right) with the Lewis family during his graduation on June 28 in Edinburgh, Scotland |
June 28, 2007 Edinburgh, Scotland --- On June 28, Pastor Ron Lewis' oldest son Nathan graduated with the degree of Masters of Divinity with Honours from the University of
Edinburgh in Scotland. The entire Lewis family attended the ceremony at the beautiful McEwan Hall in the heart of Edinburgh. The ceremony followed time-honoured traditions, some of which can be traced back to the founding of the University in 1583.
For instance, as each graduate receives his diploma, the Vice-Chancellor confers the degree by touching the head of the graduate with the graduation “cap.” Popular legend has it that the cap was originally made using the cloth from the breeches of John Knox, the famous theologian and reformer from the 1500’s. It is often noted that Mary, Queen of Scots, feared John Knox and his preaching more than all the armies of Europe.
Nathan will be following a similar path to his Dad’s, working full-time for the Every Nation Church of Edinburgh leading the youth ministry. The youth of Scotland seldom have a relevant church expression and Nathan is passionate about bringing God’s love and Truth to a generation without hope.
Surrounding the graduation, the Lewis family spent a week in Edinburgh ministering in youth outreach events and in the church services, while also enjoying fish ‘n chips and sticky toffee pudding, staples of the local Scottish fare.

Passionate for discovering and developing leaders around the world, Ron Lewis had the privilege of partnering with world-class leader John Maxwell, founder of EQUIP & INJOY. EQUIP’s vision since 1996 has been serving Christian leaders worldwide who have great leadership potential, but limited access to much-needed training and resources (visit iequip.org for more info). INJOY Group is an organization that is also committed to helping individuals and organizations fulfill their leadership potential.
