A transformative movement is underway in Fort Worth, designed to uplift and empower our community through health, wellness, and healing. IT’S TIME, FORT WORTH! is a bold collaboration between the Churches of the Ministers Justice Coalition of Texas, Healthier Texas, and Texas Health Resources, united in the mission to improve health outcomes in the 76104 and 76105 ZIP codes, areas disproportionately affected by health disparities. https://images.app.goo.gl/cGuzMBUTKkzWRUcR7


Launching from the Health + Healing Hub


At the heart of this initiative is the Health + Healing Hub, a dynamic platform serving as the epicenter for launching the IT’S TIME, FORT WORTH! campaign. The Health + Healing Hub will function as a safe, accessible, and community-driven space where residents can connect with essential health services, wellness programs, and faith-based support systems that foster healing from within.


A Call to Action for Health Equity


The 76104 ZIP code has the lowest life expectancy in Texas, a sobering reality that demands immediate action. Generations of systemic barriers, economic challenges, and limited healthcare access have contributed to chronic disease, mental health struggles, and food insecurity. IT’S TIME, FORT WORTH! seeks to change this trajectory by offering a holistic, faith-driven approach to preventive care, nutrition, mental wellness, and community support.


A Web of Healthy Activities


By leveraging the Health + Healing Hub as a launchpad, this initiative will connect churches, healthcare providers, and community leaders to empower residents with the tools and resources needed to take control of their health.


Key Components of the Initiative

1. Health + Healing Hub as a Central Resource

A dedicated space for wellness education, health screenings, and community-led health initiatives.


Serving as a faith-based health hub, integrating spiritual support with medical and mental health services.


2. Faith & Wellness Integration

3. Community Health & Nutrition

4. Fitness & Active Living

Establishing walking groups, exercise programs, and youth sports leagues to encourage an active lifestyle.

Why Now?


The time for change is now. We can no longer afford to stand by as health inequities continue to claim lives and limit opportunities. Through the Health + Healing Hub, we are creating a sustainable and community-driven movement to reclaim our health, our vitality, and our future.


A Movement for the Future


IT’S TIME, FORT WORTH! is not just an initiative, it’s a declaration. It’s a promise to heal, uplift, and restore our communities through faith, knowledge, and action.

Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat.

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...

Bush Presidential Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, hosted an extraordinary event honoring the trailblazing women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, affectionately known as the “Six Triple Eight.” This all-Black, all-female unit of the Women’s Army Corps made history during World War II by clearing a staggering 17 million-piece mail backlog in Europe, ensuring that American service members received their much-needed letters from home. Their dedication and efficiency not only boosted troop morale but also shattered racial and gender barriers of their time. In recognition of their extraordinary service, the battalion was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2022, the highest civilian ho...
