The ministry focus of the Reverend Roy P. Jones, Jr., the project researcher, is embedded in my experiences revolving around various significant events in life while growing up and venturing out, destined to determine my identity, purpose, and mission in the world. It is in the most challenging situations resulting from these collective experiences that I evolved to exercise effective leadership, and to acclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through a ministry of resurrection, restoration, and liberation. The focus of his ministry encompasses a ministry of faith, hope and charity in order to lift the burdens of the poor, neglected, under-served, the oppressed, the discouraged, the withdrawn, and those who are living in poverty.
