Sister Faith Calvin
“A Journey of Faith and Calling”
Born in Sikeston, Missouri, Faith Calvin is a 15-year-old with an extraordinary calling. Growing up at New Direction Outreach Ministries, affectionately known as "The Purple Church," she has been immersed in the world of faith and ministry from a young age. Her parents, Bishop Lamontè Calvin and Lady Charvette Calvin, serve as pastors at this renowned church.
From her early years, it was evident that Faith had a deep love for serving within the church community. She would often organize impromptu services at home, even involving her beloved animals. As time passed and her passion grew stronger, she expressed to her father that she felt called to become a preacher herself.
This declaration sparked numerous prophecies from various individuals who visited their congregation, affirming what seemed apparent—that Faith's destiny involved spreading God's word far beyond the confines of The Purple Church.
With unwavering support from family members and mentors alike, including both spiritual leaders within their local community and recognized figures across different states, Faith continues on this remarkable journey towards fulfilling what seems like a divine purpose set before her.
Sister Tatiyana Rumph
Hello, my name is Tatiyana Rumph. I’m 16 years old and a student at Blytheville High School. I’m member of the National Beta Club, play basketball, and am part of the school choir. Additionally, I serve as the president of the Prayer Club.
I want to honor my late pastor, Dr. David Corns, whose legacy I carry forward with great respect and admiration. I’m deeply grateful to Brother Greg Crawford, who helped me discover my passion for dance.
My journey has been shaped by my desire to grow closer to God. From a young age, I’ve felt that there was something special about me, a sense of being chosen and called to lead. I strive to help other girls with their praise dances and guide them closer to God. While I’m not perfect, I am committed to this mission and won’t give up.
My faith was tested at a young age when, at 14, I discovered a tumor in my breast. Through numerous doctor visits, ultrasounds, biopsies, and surgery, we found that it wasn’t cancer. I believe in the power of God’s healing, and I stand firm in my faith.
My motto is: I’m rewriting my story, and this time, God has the pen.

Brother Delon Turner
Hello, my name is Delon Turner. I’m 18 years old and recently graduated from Charleston High School, where I was recognized for my academic achievements, participation in sports, and volunteer work. My goals are to grow in Christ as the Lord leads me and to become financially stable so I can give back to God's people.
Growing up in Charleston, many people believed that the youth wouldn’t amount to much. However, as I got older, I realized that others don’t define my story—only God does. I have faced many challenges in life, whether from people or hospitals, but I can say that God has guided me through it all. As a young man growing closer to Christ, people always thought I would end up like my father, but God reminds me that I am the change in my family.
Now that I have completed school, my plan is to continue growing in my faith. Whenever something goes wrong in my life, I remember what I was taught: “God is the beginning and the end of our faith.” So, I trust Him to lead me into my future. Growing up, my family kept me in church, even when I lost my faithfulness to God. I am a living testimony that God will never fail. He might not come when you want Him to, but He is an on-time God.
Sister Trinity Posey
Hello, my name is Trinity Posey. I'm 18 years old, and I’m a recent graduate of Cairo High School. During my time there, I was recognized for many leadership roles and awarded for the hard work I put into education, school activities, and sports. My aspirations include joining the Army National Guard as a Chaplain Assistant and attending college to major in Criminal Justice and Religious Education.
Growing up in a small town like Cairo, Illinois, has not limited my inspiration or dreams of becoming successful. One of my biggest inspirations is to pursue my calling in evangelism, a gift God revealed to me at age 15. The first prophecy given to me by a pastor said, "You're a rose in the midst of thorns," meaning I was destined to lead despite the potential for pain from others or life's challenges.
As a young girl, I couldn’t envision myself as a woman preacher. I didn’t know how to pray, lacked the courage to speak up, and didn’t have a relationship with God. The idea of preaching seemed far-fetched. But as I grew older, my personal experiences with God deepened. I sought to strengthen our relationship, which led me to church, learning to pray, and eventually, prayer became my strong suit. My pastor even invited me to pray over the congregation every Sunday. I've also taught youth Sunday school, shared testimonies, and started to share my sermonettes aloud at church.
God has given me a vision for evangelism and the name for my women's ministry, 'GodB4Her.' The objective is to minister to young, broken, lost, and found girls and women. The slogan behind it all is, 'If God is for her, who can be against her?' I strive to be adequate for Christ and fulfill the calling He has placed on my life.
