  • Megachurch Associate Pastor Jarrid Wilson, 30, Commits Suicide

    Harvest Christian Fellowship Associate Pastor Jarrid Wilson, an avid spokesman on the issue of mental health, took his own life Monday night, Harvest Pastor Greg Laurie said in a statement Tuesday evening.

    Known by many as a passionate preacher, Wilson served Harvest for the past 18 months in Riverside, California. He was the co-founder of the mental health nonprofit Anthem of Hope and, according to Religion News Service, was open about his own depression, "often posting on his social media accounts about his battles with mental illness."

    He left behind his wife, Juli, and two sons, Finch and Denham.

    "It is with the deepest sadness and shock that I have to report that Jarrid Wilson went to be with the Lord last night," Laurie said. "At a time like this, there are just no words. The Bible says, 'There is a time to mourn.' This is certainly that time."

    In his statement, Laurie says Wilson "loved the Lord and had a servant's heart."

  • Meet Vimbai Chapungu, London’s First Black Queen!

    When the news that 24-year-old Vimbai Chapungu (pictured) had been crowned Miss London broke a few weeks ago, it spread like wildfire across the world and Africa in particular was ecstatic.

    Bold and naturally beautiful, the Zimbabwe-born beauty made history by becoming the pageant’s first black queen. She had cat-walked, proudly popping her melanin with confidence while sporting a natural look to the satisfaction of many.

    If this was not the reflection of the city’s diversity, it is definitely an inspiring story of an African girl who dared to dream and believes in herself just like the translation to her Shona name suggests.
