Delores D. Manyama Tribute

Everyone
The first time I met Stephen and Dee Manyama was in NYC at a friends ordination. Stephen and Dee extended their arms of love and invited us to come and join their family in Birmingham.

On my first trip to their home, the sound of praise met me at the door. Dee was a worship warrior.

She deeply understood bringing heaven to earth. She constantly sang with the angels the unending hymn of praise: Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty, Worthy is the Lamb of God to receive all glory, honor, and power.

Two years ago when God defeated breast cancer in her life, she dedicated whatever time the Lord gave her to building the Kingdom of God.

Her daily focus was sharing the love and saving knowledge of Christ to all. Her stories of students set free from self hatred, suicide, anger, gangs and violence permeated every conversation I had with her.

Most of all I truly believe that the love relationship she shared with Jesus had become so deeply intimate the next step was for her to be joined with Him in heaven.

The Dance of Eternity is now celebrated in wholeness as she is wrapped in His loving arms. A wonderful example for all of us to follow.

To my dear Brother Stephen, Jaron and Malima, I love you and will walk beside you as we seek the Lord to fill us with more of Him and learn to live and celebrate as Dee gave us the template for life with Christ.

Love ya,
Di
