BAPTISMS NOT BURIALS: New Mount Rose MBC Boldly Takes a Stand Against Gun Violence and Suicide with the Power of Jesus Christ this Juneteenth. 


FORT WORTH, TX — As bullets fly and headlines fill with tragedy, New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church is rising with holy boldness to declare that Jesus is still the answer—and the Church is not powerless. With unwavering conviction and a burning desire to see lives transformed, New Mount Rose is launching its “Baptisms Not Bullets” this Juneteenth, June 19, 2025, as part of its annual Vacation Bible School.




Under the passionate leadership of Pastor Kyev Tatum, this historic Southside church is stepping forward with confidence, compassion, and commitment to declare that gun violence and suicide will not win—not on our watch.


“We believe that God is the only one who can save us from this evil violence,” says Pastor Tatum.

“We are seeking the lost and the suffering—and we’re giving them Jesus!”



Instead of bowing to fear or burying more youth, New Mount Rose is baptizing them—burying sin and shame in the water and raising up new life in Christ. This is not just symbolic. It is strategic. It is spiritual warfare in action.




This message comes at a critical time. Father’s Day weekend in Fort Worth ended in heartbreak, as five people were shot and killed in separate incidents—each one a painful reminder of a city in crisis. Among the victims was 16-year-old Billy Gipson. Another teenager. Another statistic. Another soul gone too soon.




But New Mount Rose refuses to accept this as normal. The church is not retreating, not remaining silent, and certainly not hopeless. They are doing what the Church was born to do: standing in the gap, lifting up the name of Jesus, and rescuing this generation before it’s too late.




“We are losing too many young people, and the Church must step up and give them Jesus,” Pastor Tatum affirmed.

“I am committed to curbing gun violence with Christ.”



This is more than a moment. It’s a movement.

This is more than a baptism. It’s a battle cry.

This is not just about changing lives—it’s about saving them.


In a world handing out depression, despair, and destruction, the Church must be the place where hope is alive, and Jesus is Lord. While others argue over policies, New Mount Rose is proclaiming power. While others protest in the streets, this church is baptizing in the Spirit. While grief saturates the city, miracles are rising from the waters.



And that’s what sets this moment apart: faith in action.


From a Christian perspective, there is no greater responsibility than to shield the vulnerable and point them to the Savior. The Church has the answer, and His name is Jesus. He still saves. He still delivers. He still heals broken hearts, shattered communities, and confused young minds.



New Mount Rose is issuing a rally cry to every church, every believer, every parent, every pastor:

Stand up. Speak out. Be bold. Be present. Give them Jesus.


Because when baptisms replace bullets…

When living water flows where blood once spilled…

When the name of Jesus is lifted higher than fear, failure, or death—

That’s when the Church will know its mission matters.

NOT GUILTY IN TARRANT COUNTY! Joseph Delancy Stands Victorious with His Grandmother by His Side. 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. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm. This was not just a victory for Joseph. It was a testament to a grandmother’s unbreakable love. A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, ...

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...
