Praise God.
Presently I attend a Mulitcutural Church and Multicultural Seminary.I Have been Blessed to be in the presence of God's people. This experience has helped me to think out side of the box. God moves by His spirit, not by color, shape, form or fashion. We only have a glimspe of Who God is................God is in all things, We must just look for Him -

Hi My Zone Family ,
Just like to share with you my personal Diversity story,this past weekend I actual had the honors of being a tour guide for some of my Disney asian friends from all over China(College Program);I took them to St Augustine Florida as a good little get a way from the normal surrounding it was great we made a whole day of it. We have been learning & appreciating about the differnces in our cultures.Afterwards they treated me out to an Amazing Chinesse /Japaneese style restaraunt where they cook the food on an open grille right before your eye's,nothing was pre prepared I had to pick out everything raw and first adding meats ,Noodles , and vegetables on top.But the challenge for me came when I had to pick out the oils & sauces that go on top there were so many different types that I have never heard of,out side of soey sauce I was lost so there was only one thing left for me to do Get N Da Zone! :) that right I embrace Diversity & welcome change and the outcome was truly rewarding ,I went back for seconds the food was excellant ,athough it was something that I never experience before.often times we as christian fear change but god has not given us the spirit of fear but one of Power to bring about change for the better.I'm also learning to say a few words in Manadarin like wo Xiang Ni (I miss You)
Zai Jian (Goodby)

Diversity~~~~ Wooo what a topic! For a God that is incomprehesible and has sooo many aspects that we can ever reach for a higher level of understanding and deeper level of intimacy in Him the One whos power is made perfect in weakness!!! An upside down inside out kingdom where we loose our life to gain a life in Christ and where when we are weak that is when we are strong! God is crossing man-made borders and boundries to call together His people and an army to be bold in His Truth! For me diversity in God is non-stop from my testimony in itself, to being in Montana and the minority in the church God forged me in after my surgery, to learning how to encompass all types of worship! God is too big to put in a box so why should we stay in ours?!?!? Change is necessary to survival, we need to change because God even though He was the same yesterday, today and forevermore He carries us through seasons wanting to mold us to reflect Him in todays world, seasons to help us know more of Him and what He wants for our lives, seasons that are full of hurt and pain to grow in our trust and faith in His perfection in ALL He does! His timing is perfect because He is a perfect God so when He says move Im gone! lol Im so excited to see ALL the changes God is making, He is moving like a mighty rushing wind! Praise God!

Tears of joy! Through all things we thank Him for all the hardships, trials, persecutions, we delight in them those times are what takes us to the next step or level in our ministries to show His love to all who are lost and need it! Thank you Ricardo for persevereing through your times of God's forge to bring light to the dark and ALL for His glory!
P.S. love you Jen lol -

Wow! Good question I can say so much about it...But by being a Christian rapper you have to have a diverse heart because music is something that doesn't have barriers, borders, or limitations. Sounds travel everywhere...songs travel to all types of people so I think Christian rap ministry calls for diversity. I just finished a week long revival in Boston and it's amazing what GOD is doing in the city of Boston!! Recently though, GOD has been sending me to hispanic churches where they speak predominately Spanish and little english to rap for the people who can barely understand it. But the spirit of GOD moves in those places and by the end of my songs they are singing and worshipping GOD!! I think it's our duty as believers, ministers, and just men and women of GOD to maintain a fellowship with GOD where we are where HE wants us to go, and do what HE wants us to do. At the beginning of my walk with GOD I had a road to Damascus encounter with Him and HE spoke to me so clearly HE said, "if you're gonna live this life you have to love to change". So GOD dealt with me about learning to love change from the gate. So I came to HIM embracing new things. I believe that heart is what keeps no matter what happens. I believe GOD is raising up people and awakening people that has a heart for no more church as usual, but a people of unity and diversity who will take this world back by force for the kingdom of GOD!!

Bro. Markus you are on Fire for God my brother!
I can tell you have just got out of revival because that anoiniting is stll so fresh & strong upon you.Another great example of God's Diversity Amen for His kingdom,that will have constant changes & grow.Eye's have not seen & ears have not heard what He has in store for us;I truly want to experience the new things in God too! I know what He did for Moses ,Joshua Paul etc. that was great but what about us and our testimonies does it just stop there with them I think not!;Let us prepare to hear , see & do things that have never been done before in God!We must remember our resources are limited but his is unlimited! There is still a lot of new things that He is waiting to reveal to us.
Thank you again Markcus ,your fire got a hold of me too Hallelujah!!!! -

My sister offers her home for exchange high school students from different countries. I always make a point to go to her house when she gets a new student because I like to ask questions about their culture. I find it to be facinating. Then of course the conversation is open for the student to ask questions about our culture.
The questions that I ask ranges from religion, education, politics, food, language and currency. -
