PLOW FORWARD! — A KINGDOM MOVEMENT FOR A NATION. STAY FOCUSED, KEEP THE FAITH, & PLOW FORWARD. Luke 9:62



There are seasons when God gives you a message.

And then there are moments when God gives you a mandate.


On Wednesday, May 2, 2018, at New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church,

what began as a simple Bible study…

became a blueprint for transformation.


The word was clear:

Plow Forward.


“No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” — Luke 9:62


We didn’t know then what it would require.

We didn’t know what it would cost.

We didn’t know the storms that would come.


But we made a decision:


We would not look back.




FROM MESSAGE TO MOVEMENT


What started as a word…

became a witness.


What started as a lesson…

became a lifestyle.


What started in one church…

is now a model for a nation.


From the heart of Fort Worth’s 76104,

a community too often defined by deficits—

God raised up a demonstration of dignity.


When crisis came—

We didn’t retreat.


When systems failed—

We didn’t fold.


When needs increased—

We didn’t hesitate.


We Plowed Forward.




COMMUNITY PEACEMAKERS


Restoring Peace. Rebuilding Trust.


This is not policing.

This is presence.


Through trusted relationships and frontline engagement,

we interrupt violence before it escalates.

• Conflict mediation

• Street-level intervention

• Relationship-based leadership


Because peace is not just preached—

it must be practiced.




PATHWAYS TO HEALTH


From Crisis Care to Preventive Power


Health should not depend on your zip code.


We brought care to the community—serving thousands through:

• Screenings

• Health education

• Preventive care access


Because health is not a privilege—

it is a right.




CLINIC WITHOUT WALLS


When the World Shut Down—We Showed Up


During the COVID-19 pandemic,

when fear spread faster than resources—


The church moved.

• PPE distribution

• Testing & vaccinations

• Life-saving treatments


We didn’t wait for the people to find help—

we brought help to the people.




COMMUNITY FOOD BOWL


Feeding Bodies. Restoring Dignity.


In a place called a “food desert,”

we chose to become a food source.

• Millions in food distributed

• Families stabilized

• Consistent community care


Because hunger doesn’t wait—

and neither did we.



INNER CITY COFFEE EXCHANGE


From the Bean to the Block


This is more than coffee.

This is economic transformation.

• Workforce development

• Entrepreneurial training

• Ownership pathways


From Bean → Brew → Business


Faith meets finance.

Ministry meets marketplace.

This is Economic Evangelism.



SKILLS CITY, USA


From Welfare to Workforce


We are building pipelines—not programs.

• Job readiness

• Skills training

• Real employment pathways


We don’t just help people survive—

we prepare them to thrive.


⸻


WARMING & COOLING CENTERS


Ministry in Every Season


When the weather turned dangerous—

the church became shelter.

• Protection for the unsheltered

• Safety in extreme conditions

• Compassion in real time


Because love must be more than spoken—

it must be seen.



NOSOTROS LA GENTE ACADEMY


Citizenship. Community. Freedom.


We walk with those seeking belonging.

• Citizenship preparation

• Language support

• Civic and workforce readiness


Because freedom should never feel foreign—

it should be within reach.




THE THREAD THAT TIES IT ALL TOGETHER


Different programs.

Different pressures.

Different seasons.


But one unshakable principle:


PLOW FORWARD


When the storm hit—

Plow Forward.


When the flood came—

Plow Forward.


When the doors closed

Plow Forward.


When hope felt distant—

Plow Forward.




A KINGDOM MODEL FOR THE NATION


What God is doing is not limited to one church…

or one zip code…

or one city.


This is a Kingdom blueprint for communities everywhere:


Ministry beyond the walls

Faith that builds systems

Service that restores dignity

Strategy that sustains transformation


The Church must become:

• A hospital for the hurting

• A workforce center for the willing

• A food bank for the hungry

• A peace table for the divided

• An economic engine for the underserved




THE CALL


This is bigger than Fort Worth.

This is a call to the country.


To every pastor…

every leader…

every community builder…


Stay Focused.

Keep the Faith.

Plow Forward.




FINAL DECLARATION


Since 2018—

lives have been touched.

Families restored.

Communities strengthened.

Hope renewed.


And yet—


We are just getting started.




SAY IT WITH POWER


In your family—

PLOW FORWARD


In your church—

PLOW FORWARD


In your city—

PLOW FORWARD


In this nation—

PLOW FORWARD




Put your hands to the plow…

Keep your eyes on the promise…


And by the grace of God


PLOW FORWARD.

PLOW FORWARD.

PLOW FORWARD.

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 ...
