EXECUTIVE LETTER EXCLUSIVE |
|
Dear Supporter and Member:
May We Continue to Grow and Work Together
I bring you greetings in the name of Jesus. As the Bishop of New Birth International Church, in the comeback city of Pontiac, I am proud to be the Pastor of such an amazing group of people. For over 16 years, our vision for ministry is to be a church without walls, open to the community, meeting the needs of our neighbors and friends from Pontiac as well as the surrounding areas.
The month of May brings Mental Health Awareness Month. We are working in partnership with Oakland Family Services and the Michigan Health Endowment Fund to find African Americans in Oakland County who have not gotten aftercare for mental health and substance use disorders while seeking treatment in hospital emergency rooms. By sharing their experiences, we hope to uncover some of the root causes for the disparities in treatment and if possible, to find solutions. The Michigan Endowment Fund pioneered the original study into this problem. Oakland Family Services has been the lead agency in Oakland County, conducting interviews and focus groups to compile information that can help explain the causes and effects of these disparities on our residents.
May also celebrates mothers. It’s important to also recognize organizations such as the Black Mothers’ Breast Feeding Association (BMBFA). We recently hosted their Community-Based Doulas training, which was well attended. BMBFA focuses providing education, valuable resources and ongoing support to black families and public/private agencies that service these families. It is so important that our African American mothers receive emotional and technical support as they prepare to bring new life into the world. The mortality rate for Black mothers is higher than any other ethnic group inn our country, education, and support from groups such as this will do a lot to help bring the mortality rates down and help us have healthier births.

POSITIVE THINGS ARE HAPPENING
Hello Pontiac- Hello Pontiac
Last month I voiced how upbeat I was and am about what is happening in Pontiac.
From every corner of the city great and positive things are happening. The outlooks, openness, and honesty of our Mayor, Tim Greimel, the positivity and quality of our council meetings, how they together are addressing the issues; it is a New day at City Hall.
As a Pastor I see so many positive and great things happening in our religious community, a cohesiveness between pastors, churches, members, and visitors. A united effort to make things better in our churches and city while addressing family needs.
Pastor Douglas P. Jones
GPCC
