Rev. Earl Wyatt, Assistant Pastor

Biographical Sketch of

Pastor Lorenzo L. Edwards, Sr.

Rev. Lorenzo Edwards was born in Gary, Indiana to Willie and Barbara

Edwards. He attended William A. Wirt High School where he graduated in

1989.

Rev. Lorenzo Edwards attended Rangeley College in Colorado, where he

played basketball and baseball. In 1993 he attended Vincennes

University where he earned his Associates of Science Degree. He also

attended Indiana State University for two years. He has received

his Bachelor of Theology Degree from Reed Christian College, and is

continuing for his Master of Theology Degree.

Rev. Lorenzo Edwards accepted the Lord as his personal Savior and was

filled with the Holy Spirit at Trinity Baptist Church in Gary Indiana

where he was a member. He later moved to California and joined New St.

Paul Baptist Church in 1996. Under the leadership of Dr. Jimmy Hartwell

and the Holy Ghost, Rev. Edwards began to grow stronger in the Lord.

In 1999 he was united in Holy Matrimony to Sis. Sebrina Edwards, First

Lady, who is his help mate and works by his side in the church. They

have three beautiful children together, Lorenzo Jr., Trinity, and Lamar.

Rev. Lorenzo Edwards served as a Deacon at New St. Paul. In the year

2000, he was called by God to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In April

2000 Rev. Lorenzo Edwards preached his first message at the New St.

Paul Baptist Church, after which he served as Assistant Pastor for two

years under Dr. Jimmy Hartwell.

On January 1, 2005 Dr. Jimmy Hartwell retired from Pastoring, and

appointed Rev. Lorenzo Edwards and wife Sister Sebrina Edwards as

Pastor and First Lady of the New St. Paul Baptist Church. Rev. Edwards

was installed as pastor on Sunday, September 18, 2005. Pastor Lorenzo

Edwards has proven himself over the years to be worthy of this calling.

He is a powerful man of God who preaches by example. Rev. Edwards is

empowering the vision as he stands on the shoulders of giants who went

on before him.

This is Our Pastor & First Lady

Jeremiah 29:11-14

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of

peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12

Then you will call upon

Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13

And you will seek Me and

find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14

I will be found by you, says

the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all

the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I

will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

Congratulations!

Pastor Edwards, throughout our lives

are all kinds of distractions and

temptations such as worldly cares,

wealth, and evil desires, threatening to

choke off our commitment to the Lord.

Keep pressing toward the mark for the prize of the

high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Miracle Cleanses

Do you have a vision of victory for your life? Do you perceive victory in your every step?

Are you living each day filled with faith and expectancy? Do something new in your life right

now! Can you not perceive it? God wants to do something new in your life today. Let go of your old

way of thinking and take hold of the new things God has for you!! Behold I am doing a new thing,

Can you not perceive it? (Isaiah 43:19).

My testimony

What you should know?

For years, I hide myself from people because I didn’t want to

be tease. Weighing 300 pounds and wearing a size 26 was

unbearable. I was unconfident, uncomfortable, and had low

self esteem; I wanted to be unnoticeable. So, I became a

bashful and shy person. I got tired of seeing myself getting

larger, eating more, and being sad. I had no energy, short of

breath, and always tired. I couldn't understand why every

diet I tried failed. I knew it was time for me to change after I

saw myself on a home video. I said to myself, “I'm tried of

being overweight”. This cleanse was my breaking point from

Fat to Fab.

I’m sharing this because I’m living proof that if it works for

me, it can work for you. I feel and look my best and I would

like to help others succeed their goals by starting off

cleansing. It takes time and motivation. It’s priceless when it comes to your health.

Part 1 What you should know about the miracle cleanse?

This is the first phase of losing weight. We should cleanse twice a year, every 6 months.

Miracle cleanses is not refer as a diet but something we could add to our daily lifestyle. The

cleanse work as a detox that purify the whole body. The cleanse help eliminate unwanted waste

such as grease(fats) and fry food(meat red /beef) that seat in our system for years. It cleanses

your lower and upper intestinal and cleans the blood for toxicities.

Strong Feelings

There are times in our lives, When things happen and we don’t

know why Man different reasons,

but one was the true cause’ Seeing something that opens your eyes,

Can scare and amaze you both When we believe and have the Lord

in our lives, that’s when Doing good is natural instinct,

From The heavenly Father above It is this feeling that keeps us going,

And our strength comes from Him also. He is with you

whether you realize it or not. As long as we believe,

he will always guide us in the right direction.

Sister Kim Newton

~ Eve & Alexis

From Mary and AL

To Our Pastor and First Lady:

God continue to bless the both of you, and may you

your covering and stewardship. Congratulations on this
