Pastor Winans Steals The Show

A lot of friends of MVP Fitness and Get Fit 4 Christ are getting state, national and world wide attention.

For starters, congratulations goes out to Eric Clark, the husband of MVP, Anjie Clark who will be honored this upcoming Friday by the St. Louis American. Eric will receive the Excellence in Education award.

Congratulations also goes out to Stephen Simmons, the son of MVP Shelia Simmons who rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns in Northwestern 27-24 victory of Eastern Michigan.

And finally, congratulations goes out to friend of Get Fit 4 Christ, Pastor Marvin Winans. Pastor Winans had a impressive role in Terry Perry's movie, I Can Do Bad All By Myself. Plugged In Online says:

"Perry doesn't skimp on the service, either. The scene—arguably the most critical, most effective one in the film—features the pastor (played by the Rev. Marvin Winans) preaching on the Luke 15 parable of the lost piece of silver and unleashing a glorious gospel message upon his enthusiastic audience.

'Pastor Marvin Winans' sermon was so powerful and his song was so powerful, I didn't cut it,' Perry said during a roundtable conversation with Christian media outlets, including Plugged In Online. 'I didn't edit it down. I left it as it is. And you feel the anointing when you are watching it.'

If you haven't seen the movie yet I highly recommend it. Perry's movie grossed over $17 million during its first weekend.

Ron Winans Heart of Champion 5K Race Results

On July 12, 2008, I ran the Motor City. I participated in the RonWinans Heart of Champions 5K Run in Detroit.

It was a very enjoyable and unforgettable weekend!

I would like to thank Pastor Marvin Winans, of Perfecting Church for his red carpet treatment all weekend long.

The run was a blast. The course at Belle Isle Park is very scenic and challenging. I finished 18th out of a group of over 700 .

The two most impressive runners were Jacqueline Blair and Raphael Evanoff.

Jacqueline finished 4th and clock in at a time of 22:10, while Raphael finished 9th at 22:28.

Not bad considering that Jacqueline is 53 years young and Raphael is 56.

No matter what age you are, always remember the benefits of an exercise program.

Exercising adds more years to your life and adds more life to your years!
