Frederick K.C. Price Memorial Service

“While our hearts are heavy, we are comforted by these supportive actions,” says Angela M. Evans.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
March 12, 2021

Last Thursday and Friday, hundreds emerged to pay homage to the memory of Pastor Frederick K.C. Price, founder of South Los Angeles’ Crenshaw Christian Center.

The two-day public viewing was both somber and celebratory as mourners from across the county and the nation participated in a protocol-enforced observance. Amid COVID-19, safety experts and church officials executed strict codes of conduct to ensure the well-being and confidence of attendees. A 29-minute video montage of Price’s decades-long teachings played on a loop, while a commemorative keepsake book of family letters, ministry moments and photos were handed out as visitors advanced to the closed casket.

On Saturday, an intimate family and close family friends memorial service was held. Over 64,000 tuned in via live stream as several elected officials, faith leaders, and sons in the faith remembered Price as a highly disciplined, teacher and scholar whose practical unpacking and application of the bible resonated with in-person congregants and viewers of his own created TV vehicle, Ever Increasing Faith Ministries. To date, the service has been viewed over 309,000 times.

As a Black pastor whose ministry was coming of age in the 70s, the TV broadcast enabled him to reach viewers across the globe and spawned a plethora of young Black pastors seeking spiritual growth and guidance beyond accustomed preaching. Price’s demeanor was controlled, resolute and authoritative, devoid of high emotion. This decided approach was clear, precise and swiftly embraced. The 89-year-old innovator was the author of over 50 books on Christian living and served as the original example of Black Excellence with his signature put together look, including an Afro with every hair in place and bible in hand.

As part of Saturday’s remembrance, Los Angeles City Mayor, Eric Garcetti, sent a touching video tribute. Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Los Angeles Board of Supervisor Janice Hahn, and Los Angeles City Council President Emeritus, Herb Wesson, attended to address the in-person and virtual audience. Remarks continued by eldest daughter and President and CEO of Crenshaw Christian Center, Angela M. Evans, Dr. William M. Wilson, President of Oral Roberts University where Mrs. Evans serves as a board member, and others, including martial artist, Billy Blanks, Dr. Kenneth W. Hagin, Jr., Dr. Jerry Savelle, Dr. Creflo A. Dollar, and Apostle Michael A. Freeman, who gave the eulogy — to name a few.

Beyond the public way Price was known, central to his life was his unique devotion to his family. He was an unapologetic doting husband and father who served as a positive role model for countless others.

Price’s widow, Dr. Betty R. Price and the entire Price Family are grateful for the outpouring of expressions of love, prayers and support during this very difficult time.

“While our hearts are heavy, we are comforted by these supportive actions,” says Angela M. Evans. News of ways to further commemorate Price’s legacy for community benefit will be announced in the future.

Forde writes, “Camel meat has been consumed for centuries, with early records dating back to ancient Persian banquets. It is still prominent in cuisines from certain regions, including Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and other parts of West and Northeast Africa and West Asia. Camel meat is also a growing feature in Australian cuisine.

“This quote from the opening of the book explains that Camel meat has been a staple for many countries and ethnicities for millennia. As they do not have a heard of Alberta grass-fed beef in the back 40 to draw from, Camel is one of their main proteins.

“As the title states, in ‘How to Cook a Camel’, Rick Forde says, ‘I have always said I could cook anything. Just show me where the stove is until I ran across this feast.

“‘I wanted to bring to the Western world the assimilation between eating moose meat and eating camel meat—not so different, both huge beasts, albeit in different parts of the world.

“‘I asked someone, ‘Would you have a problem with a cookbook titled “How to Cook a Moose”?’ They replied, ‘Of course not. I have a moose in my freezer. I wonder what Camel tastes like.’ I said, ‘Try the tagine.’

“‘The other hundred delicious recipes are a few originals scattered with recipes I have ripped out of magazines in the dentist office or seen on TV and quickly wrote down on a scrap paper and a few popular nostalgic recipes, even some from my elementary school (Stuart Wood Elementary) cookbook. We put together the recipes, written exactly how they were submitted.

“‘I published this book for the new family and the old family. The recipes are easy enough for kids to get into and start cooking with reckless abandon. Enjoy!’”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Richard Joseph Forde’s new book provides readers with extraordinary recipes that they will surely enjoy. Here, not only will the readers learn how to cook unique dishes, but they will also come to know the various stories behind each dish.

“The Kingdom I Came to Love”: an intriguing testament of the author’s exploit in the desert kingdom. “The Kingdom I Came to Love” is the creation of published author Fernando G. Ting, a man who broke into overseas work when the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia opened a job opportunity to international workers. Being an overseas worker, he completed his deeper learning about life through careful observations.

Ting writes, “The safest way to view the Middle East in general and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in particular, is from an airplane window during a landing approach. Once out of the plane, you no longer have the confines of the cockpit to isolate your senses. Depending on the weather and time of the year, you immediately feel the searing heat on your skin, the blinding glare of the sun reflected from the ground hits your eyes, and the sweetish smell of petroleum permeating in the air greets your nose. But as soon as you overcome the initial shocks, you will begin to feast on the opulent sights in the modern miracle in the desert. Millions of international brains and brawn labored many years to build, develop, and maintain the multimillion-dollar modern structures and facilities in Saudi Arabia. When the Kingdom came into the windfall of petroleum dollars, its tiny population can never cope with the vast modernization plan of the government calling for super large building projects. The only solution is to import millions of brilliant minds and muscles to execute magnificent dreams into reality. The ultra-religious Kingdom has always maintained a preference for fellow Muslims like Egypt, Sudan, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Indonesia, and Bangladesh but also graciously opened its doors to hardworking non-Muslims. Workers from Europe, the USA, South Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, India, Japan, and China flooded the country. The multinational talents are a huge blessing to the Kingdom, spurring its development into dizzying heights. The whole situation has also developed into a mutually beneficial activity because the Kingdom has ultimately provided precious income to the millions of its workers. It has shared its blessings. This book is only a microcosm of the much larger picture of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its heroic workers!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Fernando G. Ting’s new book serves as a historical legacy to readers as the author shows a spectacular leap of a country with brilliant and mighty people.

“Burnout or Breakout: Systems Thinking for Stifled Leaders and Stuck Churches”: a gripping tome that gives encouragement and hope to the heads of the church who are currently feeling unable to breathe as leaders. “Burnout or Breakout: Systems Thinking for Stifled Leaders and Stuck Churches” is the creation of published author John Messer, a regional executive in the reformed church in America and the leadership development catalyst of Luminexusa.

Messer writes, “How can church leaders be effective without sacrificing their marriage, their family, or their health in the process? How can good leaders get stuck churches unstuck without becoming another casualty? ‘Burnout or Breakout’ provides answers to both. The burnout epidemic among church leaders, combined with cultural volatility, uncertainty, and complexity catalyzes unhealthy church processes to get churches stuck. All these forces combine to stifle good leaders until it seems that no reasonable leadership effort can succeed. This book brings new insights to churches and church leaders frustrated with making tireless efforts to move the church, yet constantly falling short of their goals and objectives. It helps church leaders avoid quick-fix solutions that keep churches stuck by applying systemic, long-term solutions.

“This book brings hope to stifled leaders on the verge of burnout. Building on biblical and experiential evidence, the author presents burnout as a systemic problem. Seeing from a systems perspective enables leaders to discover how their church works and provides tools and strategies to help them realign their church system for health and effectiveness. Based on a comprehensive introduction to systems thinking, leaders are encouraged to see their congregations as complex systems of interrelated and interdependent elements. Effective leadership, from a systems perspective, aligns the church to achieve intended outcomes.

“Based on the account of Jethro and Moses in Exodus 18, leaders are equipped to identify and diagnose church systems designed for burnout and provides strategies to overcome the stifling forces within the church. Leaders are further equipped to apply systemic thinking to common church system problems, such as declining attendance, mission confusion, and volunteer shortages. Brings hope that stifled leaders and stuck churches can break out of their limiting conditions by investing time and effort to learn and practice seeing from a new systems perspective.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, John Messer’s new book gives readers a better understanding of how systems that work can provide some relief from the overwhelming burdens associated with ministry and empower church leaders to move stuck churches out of their ruts and into more productive and fruitful ministries.

In this book, the author wants the readers, especially church leaders, to know that the only way they can solve their problems as heads of the church is to learn how to deal with the challenges in a new way.
