Day 7 - HAIL TO THE CHEF. HAIL TO JESUS CHRIST. Chef Nekeisha Serviss Cooks Food for the Soul at the New Mount Rose Warming Center.



HAIL TO THE CHEF. HAIL TO JESUS CHRIST. Chef Nekeisha Serviss Cooks Food for the Soul at the New Mount Rose Warming Center.


The Bible tells us about a ram in the bush — provision right on time.


At New Mount Rose, that provision showed up wrapped in an apron and answered to the name Chef Nekeisha Serviss.


A professional chef.

A gospel minister.

A servant with fire in her hands and faith in her heart.


Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Chef Nekeisha is a graduate of Christ for the Nations Institute, where she was ordained into ministry. She later honed her culinary craft at the Culinary School of Fort Worth. God anointed her to preach — and trained her to plate.


She loves people. She loves feeding people. For her, the kitchen is not just a place of preparation — it is a place of consecration. An altar with burners.


She and her husband, Worrell Serviss, along with their beautiful daughters, Moriyah and Makariyah, call the Dallas–Fort Worth area home. And during this winter storm assignment, they made New Mount Rose feel like home for dozens of our unsheltered neighbors.


When Pastor Kyev P. Tatum, Sr. accepted the assignment to open the New Mount Rose Warming Center, he did so in faith — not knowing who would provide the meals.


But God knew.


On day one, Chef Wonderful “stopped by” and stirred up a Big Mama-sized pot of homemade chicken noodle soup. It wasn’t just soup.


It was warmth in a winter storm.

It was comfort in chaos.

It was dignity in a bowl.


Some neighbors had four and five servings — not just because they were hungry, but because they felt seen.


That first pot sparked a movement: no more survival food. Only home-cooked love.


Then Aracely Ramos stepped in and faithfully prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner for several days. Skills City Resilience Responder JoJo Hogan followed with a rosemary chicken dinner that nourished body and soul alike.


But on the final night, the cry went up:


Hail to the Chef!


Chef Nikki returned — not alone — but with her entire family and friends. What they prepared could have been served in a five-star restaurant, but it was delivered with a servant’s heart.


The menu was nothing short of heavenly:


• Creamy baked mac & cheese

• Down-home Southern greens

• Homemade potato salad

• BBQ chicken

• Fluffy mashed potatoes

• Pinto beans

• Fruit cocktail


Every dish made from scratch.

Every plate served with love.

Every bite seasoned with grace.


It wasn’t just dinner.


It was ministry.


Our neighbors at the New Mount Rose Warming Center — and the missionaries serving alongside them — were fed physically and spiritually. It was Matthew 25 walking through the kitchen:


“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40


So we say it boldly:


Hail to Chef Nekeisha.

Hail to Worrell.

Hail to Moriyah and Makariyah.


May God continue to bless the hands that fed the least of these.


And above all —


Hail to the Christ.

Jesus Christ our Lord.

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Texas 6888th Project.

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...

A BOND OF BROTHERS FROM DIFFERENT MOTHERS BUT SERVANTS OF THE SAME HEAVENLY FATHER. “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” – Proverbs 17:17 Washington, DC — Very few are ever granted the privilege of attending a Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony—much less two in the same year. Yet in 2025, Fort Worth leaders Lt. Colonel Richard Crossley, Minister Derrick Johnson, and Pastor Kyev Tatum were honored by United States Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to stand in witness at not one, but two historic moments of national remembrance. On April 29, 2025, they joined descendants and dignitaries in Emancipation Hall as America bestowed the Congressional Gold Medal upon the legendary 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (Six Triple Eight). Then, on September 3, 2025, they again gathered at the U.S. Capitol to honor the valor of the 369th Infantry Regiment, the Harlem Hellfighters. These sacred ceremonies brought together veterans, families, and citizens who came ...
