To this end was I born, and for this cause I came into the world”. St John 18:37 The year was 1973. I had four major experiences that would de-fine my life, forever. I graduated high school; got married; had my first child; and then if that wasn’t enough, I got saved. This in itself was momentous, because I was the first in generations of Missionary Baptist to go to the camp of “Holy Rollers”. During the Sunday night service; I was still try-ing to grasp this salvation’ experience and tried to figure if I had entered into some cult because all the men had the same name “Elder” and all the women, their first name was “Missionary”. That night, there were about 45 people at church, which I would come to learn later was a lot. The Pastor stood and addressed the congregation. Apparently, I was five hours into my new found salvation and denomination experience and going through a church split. The Pastor and Asst. Pastor were definitely at odds. The Pastor stood and asked all that were with the Asst. Pastor to stand on the side of the building with him and those that were with him, come on his side. I sat with my husband,

rubbing by expanding belly and watched as one by one, people move to the opposite side of the room. To my surprise, even my sister in law, whom I had only met that weekend. As the Pastors wife stood to position herself beside her notably shaken hus-band, only my husband and I remained in the pews. The next moments would define my life. I stood and walked across the room with the Pastor and his wife, followed by my husband. Mind you, we were visiting the city, only hours saved and not even a member of the church; but I went and stood with the Pastor. The feeling in the air, the look on his face; I went and stood. It was then I re-alized, “To this end was I born, and for this cause I came into the world”. From that moment in that wooden frame church on Ivey Lane in Orlando, Fl, my life has been dedicated to Pastors. Helping them be prepared, providing information and resources, in a support network. Twenty years later in 1993, I answered the call to Pastor. College, Leadership training and develop-ment; entrepreneurship in media, television and radio personality; marketing and being a Pas-tor has prepared and qualified me. Technology, time, tenacity, passion and the favor of God is what maintains me. This is not just what I do, this is who I am, To this end was I born”. EMG it’s not business, it’s destiny.

“ It’s about Kingdom Business…. You are our client”

In 1979 I published my first magazine, BrightSide and started Incentive Concepts, Advertising, Public Relations & Marketing. Fresh out of college and working in media and ministry, I was excited to introduce many of the things I was learning with the leadership of the African American churches I was dealing with. Having my own agency al-lowed me to include BrightSide in the media I was suggest-ing to my clients. I began hosting events for Pastors and leaders and utilized media as a way of connecting. Thirty three years later, we are stronger and more focused than ever before. The EMBASSY Network International is the

only membership network of it’s kind globe. Benefits include, television, magazine, events (live & virtual) information, resources, networking opportunities and discounts from national and international vendors. Building the membership base stronger and the impact of the media, it became apparent we were in need of our own agency, again. The EMBASSY Media Group, Advertising, Public Relations & Marketing Agency was organized as the exclusive agency for the EMBASSY Network International Ministries. To meet the inspirational and motivational needs of members, Dr. W. C. Chambliss, III serves as President & CEO of The EMBASSY. He oversees the inspirational and ministerial aspects on The EMBASSY. I am once again handling all of the public relations, media, marketing, sales, event planning, etc. for The EMBASSY Network International Ministries. The Embassy Me-dia Group will also work directly with National and International Vendors, Corporate Sponsors and Corporate Partners. EMG will also keep the missions outreach of the ministry in the pub-lic eye. The EMBASSY Empowerment Missions works with specific thirds world an African oriented countries to evangelize, expose and economically empower these countries. We will utilize our media to give a balanced and more positive view of what is happening in many of these countries. EMG will keep The EMBASSY Network International Ministries before pre-sent and potential Pastors, Itinerate Ministers; Indi Artist; Entrepreneurs and mature believers. Let’s work together to accomplish great things.

If you have a business, product or service and your target market is the church or faith based community, you already understand how difficult it is to gain access with or even determining who are the decision makers. There are many ‘gate’ keepers whose primary job is to steer ‘sales people’ in a variety of directions. In many cases, when you finally get to who you thought were the decision makes, you face a long list of presentations and Q&A from another group of board or committee members. With our present economic situation, this is even more prevalent. We remove the obstacles and guess work by putting you in direct contact with the Senior Pas-tors or FBO head who is the decision maker. It’s this simple, our audience is your audience. Your business can benefit from our promotional process to attract new members. Plus, our memberships are for a 24 month period which builds a relationship and opportunity to have your business, product or service before our members beyond a conference or vending experi-ence. Additional benefits Corporate Sponsors will receiver are: Direct access to decision makers - we know who they are, and they will know who you

are. Our foundational audience is to Senior Pastors. Many of these Pastors are bi-vocational historically and many newly bi-vocational because of the economy. This means they often miss out on a lot in information, resources and networking opportunities. Membership pro-vides a platform for you to introduce your product or service to a target and receptive audi-ence.

Untapped market - when seeking the church market, the first goal for many businesses is

the larger faith based traditional community. However, research and personal experience of the founders know that the majority of churches that are functioning are churches with less than 300 in their congregations. This untapped market has leaders who are receptive for and in need of a variety of services, products , information and resources.

The African American faith Based Market includes churches and NPO that are agents for posi-tive change in the community and represent a cross section of the community. The impover-ished get a lot of press, there is a growing number of African American who's income is in-creasing, despite the economic changes. In many cases, the “playing field” was leveled offer-ing more opportunities than ever before. Inside the church are Pastors; Leaders, Business own-ers and Professionals; many decision makers or influence decisions on products services and major purchases. One major overlook market is that of the affluent African American. The median income of African -Americans households grew 25.8% between 1990 and

2000. The median income of African-American households are growing four times than that of

non Hispanic (white ) households 3.7 million African-American households have combined annual income over $50,000 1.9 million African-American households have combined annual income over $75,000 Finally, in 2009 in the height of economic downfalls; unemployment and foreclosures; the Af-rican American market spent $507 billion dollars nationally in products and services; a 16.6 increase over the 435 spent in 2008. These statics relate to the African American community over, but , from one end of the spectrum to the other, there is one thing held in common. \; The CHURCH. EMG is proud to interact with the African American market of Pastors; Itinerate Ministers; Gospel Artist; Lay Leaders; Sales Managers; Network Marketers and Mature Be-lievers. Not only do we represent this market, we are proud to be represented in the above listed statists. We know the market. We reach the market. We are the market. EMG; your agency.
