Thankful for being alive for 58 years, Pastor Hunter reveal he has survived car accidents, gang wars where he was the mediator, and probably saved the lives of 22 members. He survived sicknesses including COVID-19 which almost took him out. Hunter also survived poverty. Having been the 18th of 21 children, he never thought he was poor though his father only had a third-grade education.
“Our father was the only income in our home; yet with 21 children, we ever were hungry or homeless, and I thank God for that. This is my way, the church’s way of giving back to so many people who have supported me and to provide a platform for our Black music, our Black talent during this Juneteenth weekend.
“It is also a way of providing a violence-free space for children and their families,” said Pastor Hunter. “Music can inspire violence, but it can also provide you with perfect peace, and that is what this weekend of living, laughing and loving each other is all about.”
