Last night I met one of my young heroes at Buffalo Wild Wings. Jerome is the real deal. I met him last June at a church planting school in Florida. The passion I caught from him in three days remained with me for six months.
Jerome's got a great hip-hop ministry called soundsgood entertainment. Highly recommend them for ministry. They saw about one thousand students surrender to Jesus in 2006.
I had to laugh out loud when Jerome explained JPM's to me. JPM is a phrase that record labels use to evaluate signing potential artists. It stands for Jesus Per Minute. Apparently record labels, including several "Christian" ones, have a quota on how many times an artist can use the name Jesus in one song.
I've got a new term. JPS. Jesus per sermon. Or how about JPBE. Jesus per blog entry. Go ahead. Start counting. Hopefully I'm off the charts:)
Jesus is my King.
Jesus is my Hero.
Jesus is my Motivation.
Jesus is the object of my devotion.
Jesus is calling Jerome to move to Detroit.
Okay, so that last one might have been wishful thinking:)
Might have been...
Young hero...how humbling. I had a great time hanging the other night! Next time, we'll have to see if we can eat 36 wings a piece, jk. Thanks for being a pacesetter and not a puppet:) You inspire me to seek Jesus' face more and more each day. Talk to you soon!!!

I had the privilege of meeting Jerome at Holypalooza 2006. Great guy, great ministry, great heart.
I pray God continues to bless him and his ministry.
