What beautiful, beautiful 4 minutes. Can I get a Hallelujer?
What beautiful, beautiful 4 minutes. Can I get a Hallelujer?
WHAT: Mockingbird seeks to connect the Christian faith with the realities of everyday life in fresh and down-to-earth ways.
WHY: Are we called Mockingbird? The name was inspired by the mockingbird’s peculiar gift for mimicking the cries of other birds. In a similar way, we seek to repeat the message we have heard - God’s word of grace and forgiveness.
HOW: Via every medium available! At present this includes (but is not limited to) a daily weblog, semi-annual conferences, and an ongoing publications initiative.
WHO: At present, we employ two full-time staff, David Zahl and Ethan Richardson and one part-time, William McDavid. They are helped and supported by a large number of contributing volunteers and writers. Our board of directors is chaired by Mr. Thomas Becker.
WHERE: Our offices are located in Christ Episcopal Church in Charlottesville, VA.
WHEN: Mockingbird was incorporated in June 2007 and is currently in its sixth year of operation.
The work of Mockingbird is made possible by the gifts of private donors and churches. Our 2013 operating budget is roughly $170,000, and with virtually no overhead, your gifts translate directly into mission and ministry. Can you help? Please feel free to email us at info@mbird.com if you have any questions or would like more information.
As a convenience, we are set up to accept online donations via Paypal. This method will allow you to give with a credit card, in any amount you wish. Simply click on the button below and follow the instructions.

Wow, we have heard of music ministries but Mr. Perry has a theatre ministry. He gives us the word through his play’s and movies. I did not realize this until he spoke/preached at Whitney Houstons funeral. Well said and well done.

“So say whatever you want. She is resting and singing with the angels.”

120-proof, full-throttle Gospel! And such a great use of Scripture. “What then say ye to these things?…”
note: there’s a wonderful section in Grace in Practice on Tyler Perry.

God bless him for bringing the gospel to bear in that funeral service. I heard that the pastor of the church did the same thing.
Maybe some of the millions of people who watched…also heard.
