THE SOUTHSIDE SIFTERS: Transforming Rocky Dirt into Rich Soil in 76104.

 


THE SOUTHSIDE SIFTERS:
Transforming Rocky Dirt into Rich Soil in 76104.


At first glance, “The Southside Sifters” might sound like the name of a soulful singing group from the 1960s — but in Fort Worth, it has become the name of a powerful new garden movement designed to help communities turn food deserts into food forests.



What once helped families recover from disaster through the American Red Cross will now help New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church feed families facing food insecurity in the heart of the community.



These sifters, once symbols of disaster relief and recovery, are now being transformed into instruments of hope — turning rocky dirt into rich soil where gardens can grow, communities can heal, and families can be fed.


What once served emergency response will now serve neighborhood restoration through sustainable gardening, community feeding, and faith-driven renewal.



At New Mount Rose, we believe even the roughest ground can produce a harvest when people come together with faith, vision, and love.


From food deserts to food forests.
From disaster relief to dignity restored.
From recovery to renewal.
From sifted soil to shared harvests.



For more information about The Southside Sifters and the growing movement to turn food deserts into food forests, please contact Pastor Kyev P. Tatum, Sr. at (817) 966-7625 or by email at kptatum1@gmail.com.

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 ...

Tatum, Sr. “When people have nothing to live for, they begin to destroy things — their own lives, the lives of others, and even the world around them. But give people purpose, give them hope, and give them something meaningful to live for, and they will no longer be willing to die for just anything.” Pastor Kyev Tatum Tre was one of a kind. He was loving. He was caring. He was hardworking. And yes — sometimes he could get on your last nerve. But when Tre showed up, you were always glad to see him. He often brought his brother Davion with him, and from the beginn...
