Derrick and Sheila are devoted to nourishing the spiritual and physical well-being of individuals in Christ Jesus. This includes delivering food and clothes to Atlanta’s needy and less fortunate residents.

Licensed by Mount Perry Missionary Baptist Church in Bishop, Georgia, on September 7, 2003, by Rev. Lemuel O. Billingsley, Minister Derrick Calloway and his wife Sheila felt a divine calling to expand their non-profit organization. Their goal is to utilize their gifts in the work of the ministry, ensuring God’s message reaches all corners of their community.

In 2017, Minister Calloway embraced another dimension of his calling by becoming an author. His book, Best Keep Quiet, And Not Talk About That! And Take What You Know And Heard To The Grave! serves as a testament to his enduring dedication to uncovering hidden histories and sharing wisdom.
