I first heard Jerry on a Friday night when they were on Broadway and I was the only white person there. I was a part of their ministry for many years and was sad to hear later of him going to prison. His church and his family were like my family. I started a street ministry for him in the projects off of western avenue and it was successful. The power of then ministry he had and the many times he has prayed for me will never be forgotten! He helped me change my life and ministry!

Harrington Elementary, where is the money? All the money that he received to re-build his church??? Well I guess I'll convert to judiasm to hang on to those funds. Open your eyes people. If he was a close personal friend of this man Upton, then he had to know what was going on when I quote from above "Jerry acknowledges that he was wrong to fall back into sin". Why are you not holding him accountable? You can't have it both ways, you cannot praise him for gay bashing by saying he's just quoting scripture, when his religion clearly states thow shall not steal. He has taken money for religion and kept if for himself, he has promised low income elementary students money and kept it for himself, and to my knowledge never repented as a Christian. Under his new religion.... "While contemporary Judaism has abandoned formal sacrificial rituals of absolution, Jews still have the duty to seek forgiveness from those against whom they have sinned, both humans and God.", he didn't abide by Jewish beliefs either. To my knowledge, and I could be wrong, Reggie never atoned for his obvious sins, so he is right where he should be right now.

I have often wondered about this man, even have left a few messages on his Brothers voice mail to contact me, (David) yet to date that has not happened. To the brother that did time with him in prison, Jerry is still required to make things right for the wrong that still fallows me for something I had not done. Now I do understand why he would feel the way he does--David as well--but it was discovered that I did not have anything to do with what was done again I am reachable always by email and hope that Jerry can be man enough to contact me to work this out. or anyone else for that matter,, nicholas.pelkola@gmail.com subject line: knoxville church burning 1996.

I was saved but backslid and ended up in prison .There I met Bro.Upton , in prison , you are watched very closely by other inmates and staff as well to check the "authenticity" of your relationship with Christ. The word is plain when it states: "Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm". It is a warning , if you do not know Jesus ,have made mistakes or are not yet perfect ,pray for him and men of God like him ,rather than cut him down with your words.
