THE BARBER THAT KEEPS ON BLESSING THE BLOCK. Unsheltered Men at the New Mount Rose Warming Center Receive Haircuts at the House of Fadez. 


“Mama, is Pastor still with the people?” Ariyal


“Yes baby, Pastor is still with the people.” Erika Webb

MORNINGSIDE, TEXAS - As we continue to highlight the amazing people who stepped into the valley with New Mount Rose, one of the greatest blessings we received didn’t come from a building — it came from a barber.


Boss Lady Erika Webb, owner of House of Fadez, blessed many of our unsheltered neighbors with complimentary haircuts, restoring not just their appearance — but their confidence, dignity, and sense of self.


It was more than clippers and chairs.

It was transformation.


Men walked in weary.

They walked out standing taller.


Young boys smiled wider.

Grown men looked in the mirror and saw themselves again.


Meanwhile, Pastor Tatum is still walking around looking like Grizzly Adams — but that’s another testimony for another day.


If you don’t know Erika, this might surprise you.

But for those of us who do — this is simply how her heart works.


She doesn’t just cut hair.

She cultivates community.


From Easter egg hunts to back-to-school bashes…

From Thanksgiving dinners to Christmas giveaways…

Erika has consistently been a pillar in the neighborhood, serving her neighbors with gladness.


Today, we celebrate her hands and her heart.


As Mother June Slater reminded us on the New Mount Rose Prayer Line:


“The mountaintop is for the view, but the valley is for the fruit.”


And after seven days of sincere service, the fruit was plentiful:


• 3 souls baptized

• 55 souls sheltered

• Countless meals served

• Blankets, clothing, shoes distributed

• Dignity restored — one haircut at a time


What some call small gestures, heaven calls harvest.


Thank you, Lady E, for putting your heart on display as we saved souls from the freezing cold. Heart work always pays off.


A beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul — a leader who serves with her hands and loves with a heart as pure as gold.


Please receive this blessing from the Barber on the Block.


To God be the glory.



- Pastor Kyev Tatum

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 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 ...
