(GRCAM vs. The Black Church — Calling On Black Christians Worldwide)

There is a divide in the Black Church based on man made Christian denominations. According to Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism. 1 Corinthians 12:12–31 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. My question to Black Christians why is the Black Church not as effective as it use to be in the Black Community? The answer is corruption in the church. For example, the sexual abuse among the Catholic Church, black preacher by the name of Creflo Dollar and his $65 Million Dollar Jet and the preachers of LA is just a few examples of the mockery of God’s word and his standard. How can we as Christians tell worldly people anything if we are acting just like them?

On November 10th 2019 will mark 28 years that my virtual Christian socialist organization has been online. God gave me an anointing and a Christian business beyond the four walls of the church to first meet the need of the community and reach the unreachable, the un-loveable, the unapproachable, the broken-hearted, the homeless, the disabled, the sick and broken in spirit through the unconditional love of Jesus/Yeshua name. What GRCAM does online? I am gifted in the area of research I assist people on my friends list and people in my social groups with finding college scholarships/grants; nonprofit grants; housing; legal services; create basic websites; podcast/webinars all for free.

I wanted to start a new movement in Black America so I created (GRCAM) the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement in 1991 on a site called Gopher. I wanted to help raise awareness about the genocide which is taking place within our inner cities in America starting in Chicago. I also wanted to connect with other like-minded African Americans, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Canadians, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Europeans, African Immigrants and Native Africans from around the globe.

GRCAM on 2 fronts domestically and internationally.

Domestically my objective is to create a sense of national urgency about the genocide which is taken place within our inner cities in America starting in Chicago. We will achieve this through journalism, films/stage plays, social media and hold public forums. In all of our work we strive to educate and enlarge our audience of concern citizens who care about solving black issues once and for all in America.

On an international level GRCAM aim is to unite other likeminded African Americans, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Canadians, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Europeans, African Immigrants and Native Africans throughout the African Diaspora. In order for us to work together in turning my virtual Christian socialist organization into a real Black Christian Business (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute. I want to earn credibility through my Christian business before we expand to 10 African Nations. I want my international friends who live in Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Angola, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda to encourage their governments to allow us to have citizenship within 3 years if they are serious about us doing business on the African continent. We as black people must move away from being tribal.

We will go through the proper channels with their government to start our (NGO) Non-government organization as (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Africa. We will offer private employment to our members based on our budget and our sponsorship. We will provide infrastructure for clean running water, agricultural technology to feed the people, offer solar energy to help our members with their electrical generators and most of all help improve the African economy as well as educate the people about the problems with Capitalism and show them an alternative GRCAI. In time, we will expand to Brazil and specific places in the Caribbean such as Barbados, Bahamas, Haiti and Jamaica.

After 15 years of being rejected, humiliated and ignored by established black organizations in the city of Chicago I decided to write and publish my story (The Solution For Black America: Reclaiming, Rebuilding And Restoring The Urban Ghettos In America) second edition in hopes of attracting 30 Black Middle Class Professionals within the United States to join my management team in order to make this business effective and successful for years to come. Nehemiah was called by God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. He did not build that wall by himself he had a professional team people like Architects, Brick layers and Engineers.

Like wise, I want Black Middle-Class Professionals who have the following credentials: Investors, Business Partners, Christian Entrepreneurs, Social Entrepreneurs and Philanthropist. I am also looking for legitimate Film Producers, Actors, Stage Managers, Grant Writers/Fundraisers, Technical Directors, Marketers, Accountants, Business Administrators, Social Workers, Financial Planners, Lawyers, Real Estate Brokers and Insurance Agents.

I have my articles of incorporation and my bylaws typed and available for my Nonprofit Cooperative. I also have my articles of organization typed and available for my For Profit Service Based Business. Yet to add insult to injury still to this day I don’t have anyone on my management team.

We will weed out Con Artist by having protocol in place. One bad apple will spoil all of the fresh apples this is why I don’t associate with criminals, con artist etc… Once I start making money and providing quality programs and services in the black community watch and see everyone in Chicago will claim they love me and want to join GRCAI. Ain’t nothing changing we will still screen people because in death everyone will not enter heaven. God has given us free will I choose to live right and treat people right. I just prefer to help my own racial group first if other racial groups wants to join us they can but we will focus on a black economic agenda. If you have corrupt people running your church, school or government then it will bring down the business. I will run my business the way I run my home drama free. I don’t condone sin, I just love helping people and practice God’s word.

The only thing which is preventing me from turning my virtual Christian socialist organization into a real Black Christian Business is the lack of manpower and the capital this is why I turned to social media to get my message out to the public through my Youtube videos, my Social Groups, my Blog Postings, my online talkshow, my revised book (The Solution For Black America) second edition and now through my upcoming urban Christian film (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago: The War Against Willie Lynch Begins). This is my last attempt to try to do something positive for my racial group in America.

It’s not my burden alone but rather a shared burden for I am just one black man with a vision and a plan, it takes a team to make a dream work. GRCAM is a global community of thinkers and builders I need your help to move GRCAM from behind a computer into our urban communities that need our talent and skills. The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute will be membership based. In time we will offer a second chance program for ex-offenders of non-violent crimes, former gang members and homeless individuals within the community. However, everyone will be screen and must attend our mandatory orientation and sign the community pledge no exceptions. No harden criminals, No active gang members, No urban terrorist, No pedofiles, and no half steppers allowed in my organization this is how I get down. This is my contribution back to my community, society and throughout the African Diaspora.

My Credibility

I don’t ask for donations instead I encourage people on my friends list and people in my social groups to please support me by purchasing my revised book and read my story (The Solution For Black America) second edition. It’s available as an e-book for $9.99 and or as a soft cover book for $15.00 plus shipping and handling. My revised book is the foundation of my Black Christian Business (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute.
