Ephesians 1:22-23 says, “And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fulness of him who fills everything in every way.”

This letter to the Ephesian Church, was written by the Apostle Paul, somewhere around A.D. 62, while imprisoned in Rome. Ephesus, was a costal city located near the nexus of the Cryster River, and the Aegean Sea.

Paul spent close to three years working to establish the Ephesian Church. Thus, the Ephesian Church played a major role in influencing Christianity and the spread of the Gospel into the cities and region of Asia Minor.

Rev. Small realized God was present in his life as a child, and grew into an adult with a passion for knowing and understanding God, people and the difficulties of life. Rev. Small soon came to know Jesus Christ, and the presence of the Holy Spirit as he experienced the storms, trails, and tribulations of life as a Black man in America. Rev. Stephen C. Small survived numerous demonic assaults on his life, which gave meaning to God’s grace and mercy. Rev. Small reasoned that God’s presence in the world gives hope, meaning and purpose; it is the essence of learning, love and relationships. Rev. Small humbled himself and opened his heart and mind to listening, learning and obeying God. On sabbatical from a business career, Rev. Small earned a Biblical Studies degree, and Master of Divinity. Rev. Small’s faith and dedication to serving God is the reason he created Trueword Ministry; TWM’s website as an evangelism tool, designed to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to Africans, African Descendants and all people created in God's image.
