Book Description

This book was written out of my heart and experiences serving under the leadership of my brother, pastor and bishop, (the late) Bishop Marvin C. Pryor. Even though he has made his transition to Heaven, his life has left an impact that will never be erased or forgotten. The information shared is not theory, but written from the brainstorming, planning, services, events, and regular staff sessions conducted at Victorious Believers Ministries Church of God in Christ from Saginaw, Michigan. In October of 2012, nearly four months prior to his death; Bishop Marvin C. Pryor, celebrated twenty-five years as pastor of the church. I was blessed and honored to have been involved during most of that time. The church name was Williams Memorial COGIC, but by the end of his life, the vision had reflected his purpose on earth, so being changed to Victorious Believers Ministries (VBM). He and his wife, Evangelist Ruth C. Pryor, lead us from “Catch the Vision” to the “Vision Unfolds!” to “Run with the Vision!” Pastor Pryor made the decision to change the name of the church from Williams Memorial; to what is now called Victorious Believers Ministries (VBM). He chose a name to reflect the vision for the ministry and would stimulate each member to live victoriously, no matter circumstances! I served as the Director of Evangelism at the local church. It was one of my responsibilities to encourage members to do personal evangelism, one on one contact and corporate outreach efforts; which extend to the masses. VBM is yet working at fulfilling the vision, even though Bishop Pryor, is no longer present to guide. His son, Pastor Christopher V. Pryor, is directing and mandating the outreach of the ministry.
