New Birth Members,
We have a long history of dutifully serving those in need in the local and global communities and we will continue to do so. We are committed to the calling of a strong, viable and relevant ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Unfortunately, we are in the media again and people are wondering what I am going to say. All I have to say is what we stated earlier. All parties involved decided to resolve the civil cases out of court. The decision was made to bring closure to this matter and allow us to move forward with the plans God has for this ministry.
I will continue to honor and abide by my commitment of confidentiality and restraint as it relates to the resolution of the civil litigation and will not be diverted from the important work of the ministry.
I thank God for your faithful support of my journey to South Africa where thousands where blessed and more than 700 people gave their lives to Christ. We also were able to sow more support into the HIV/AIDS Hospice in Johannesburg that we partnered with last year. We built a wonderful bridge of relationships with pastors and community leaders to further establish the Kingdom and bless others.
I love you and thank you for your continued commitment and dedication.
Your Pastor,
Bishop Eddie L. Long

It makes it awful difficult to “move forward” when you’ve made no effort to address the situation right where you are. The 800lb elephant is standing in front of you in the middle of the room, “Bishop.” If/when you address it truthfully and completely (which can be done with no respect to the agreement), then and only then can you move forward.
People are less concerned about whether you remained true to the Word of God and His expectations and less about whether you remain true to the words contained in a settlement.
Until Fast Eddie figures this out…Mo’Kelly isn’t going anywhere and will remain true to helping him understand the distinction.
