Our hope, through this movement, that we'll be able to better serve the community by offering information, intervention, advocacy and education, through workshops, forums and conferences. Since I am a product of the HIP HOP(Helping Individuals Prosper, Honoring Others Potential) Movement, with God's help, Myself, along with my wife, Altanya, have dedicated our lives to bringing the "MANNA from Heaven" in the form of TEAM ADV-Ance. We'll be looking to have Domestic Violence walks, special events, fundraisers and special gatherings, to not just acknowledge the fact Diane L. Parker was a victim to this senseless crime, but to let a community of battered men, women and children know they have a voice who cares and an ear who will listen.
The Word of God teaches us that there were few individuals, in the Holy Writ, that suffered at the hands of Domestic Violence, but the one Word that stood out in my studies was, "And they stripped Him and put a SCARLET(purple)robe on Him(Jesus)"(Matthew 27:28). Domestic Violence is so real, it goes back 2013 years to the Cross, but we, as the local assembly of the Household of Faith, need to stop acting so much like church and be the "HOSPITAL" and come together and minister to those who have been beating, maimed, pillaged, "STRIPPED" and when it's too late , they will be remembered by receiving a SCARLET ribbon as a sign of the crime which was committed against them. We must commit, as a community our TIME, our TALENT, our TITHE, our TACT, our TENACITY and our TEACHING, to bring Domestic Violence Awareness to the past, existing and future generation, and being the advocates to make the House that God built a better place and rid it of abuse and neglect, for "Together Everyone Achieves More Against Domestic Violence"..#TEAM ADV-Ance.. RIP Diane L. Parker(10/18/70-2/7/13)
