A Special Tribute
A TRIBUTE TO GOD'S SERVANT AND OUR SPECIAL FRIEND!
CALVIN HUNT - (1957 - 2009)
This page is not just a tribute to the man but a tribute to the God who radically changed him from a Crack Addict on the street, sleeping in a dog house, to a man of God whose love for the Lord was evident in the life he lived for his Savior. Wikipedia article here
God gifted Calvin with a beautiful voice, and the video on this page will attest to that. More than that God gave Calvin a genuine love for people that sprung forth in his life and through his music. God restored Calvin to his family through a chorus of wonderful prayer lifted on his behalf that climaxed many other prayers as he was drawn to God's house through the prayers of God's people and walked into the presence of God at Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York City. As he entered he heard many people pleading with God to bring him there.

A Small Oblation
I do not minister for money, But somehow it seems kind of funny,
That those who let me build this site, Somehow feel that it's alright,For me to pay a monthly fee, To offer all this stuff to thee, So if you'd show appreciation Kindly leave a small oblation.
