My name is Kevin Thurston and I am originally from Boston Massachusetts. I grew up in the projects called Orchard Park, Orchard Gardens now. There I experienced a lot of trials and tribulations from drugs to having a child at the age of 16. Put to the fire without a father in the home and with a mother who was strung out on drugs, I learned the hard way. At this time alcohol, drugs, lust, gang bangin', etc...... all of these things were my god during this seasonal time of my growth. The Lord continuously covered and rescued me day after day and looking back now I can see exactly what he did. I got married at the age of 25 to my gorgeous wife Tarsha and the mere fact of the Lord giving her to me was his way of luring me to him. But change actually manifested the night we both had an outer body encounter with the Lord. I was reminded of the fear I already had for God after this particular night. Change happened immediately as I decided to move me and my family to Greensboro North Caroliona where we have been now for 14 years. Even after this move I was still unaware of why The Father wanted us to move heir, so practically what I was doing in Boston I did heir, but more discrete. Eventually we got involved with church but became hoppers because confusion had set in. So I had made up in my mind that I wasn't going to go back to church until he sends somebody to me and I pleaded with The Father to show me exactly what the purpose for attending fellowship with the saints and hearing his Word was really for. And he did exactly that by stripping me from a good job, becoming evicted, and losing our vehicle, he removed the things I depended on to confine me in my place of life so I could solely depend on him. I was then in a backsliding state. The death of my brother was the icing on the cake, I was so broken, which is where God wanted me to repair me and cast me in his love, and it was truly that pain that was the beginning of the foundation of my healing process. The gifts God has given me I was using for the world and I remember saying to The Lord, "How am I going to rap for you and still capture the people." For a long time this transformation was hard but like anything else your consistant with, you become better, and the more I let go and let God the better this ministry enhanced. And with the trainning I am receiving as a licensed Minister at The Potter's House Ministries here in Greensboro under the spiritual parenting of Bishop and Pastor Manwell Linda Grady, I'm still learning how to fully be used by the Lord. I believe God is preparing me for the arenas in the hip hop world because his children their are blinded by the money and glitts and glamour, and knowing The Father like I do he is not going to send his only begotten son back heir until he has gathered all of his belongings.
