I have been impressed with Wintley Phipps for many years, primarily as a rich, deep voiced, gospel singer. His Amazing Grace is awesome, his voice is commanding.
The more I have heard, and learned of him, he is even more awesome, and genuine.
He often ministered to convicts, and realized that their children were at great risk, of ending up as convicts. He chose to do something.
In 1998 he started the US Dream Academy, whose goal was go reach these children, and steer them on a course that would change their lives.
He once told a young black girl, that someday she would communicate with millions, that was Oprah Winfrey.
He was once on a crowded elevator, in Washington, and a voice from the rear of the elevator called out his name. It was a Senator who was putting together a program for Mother Teresa. Whitney sang for her, the last time she heard, Amazing Grace, for which he was rewarded with a very feeble hug and embrace from Mother Teresa.
He feels he has often been in the right place at the right time.
I think what he is doing and has accomplished is worth knowing.
