Da Paperboy!

After about 3 months of moving into our neighborhood, my wife and I realized that God blessed us with something we didn’t pray for- great neighbors! Within months, we would congregate outside enjoying our children’s play and the beautiful weather. We quickly decided that having a block party would be beneficial for better community relations. In doing this, we would be able to meet distance neighbors from the opposing end of the street.

At our block party, I was fortunate to meet a respectable, God-fearing, and honorable young man. I was captivated by the high school student’s wishes to please the Lord. He spoke eloquently about his upbringing from inner city to suburbia to his relationship with mentors, church members, and parents. All encompassed his current relationship with Jesus Christ.

He was (is) the prototype of a young Christian man. Listening to him inspired better parenting and a personal relationship with God. I desire for my sons, what he genuinely modeled. In a world where it’s extremely common for children to be negatively influenced; a spiritually healthy adolescent is a ‘beacon of hope’ for parents raising small children.

He recently released his first Christian Rap album titled
‘Read All About It’. I was blessed with the opportunity to video interview, Daniel ‘Da Paperboy’ Cooper. During this interview, he shares his passion for glorifying God, encouraging words to parents, and more.

Please take the time to listen and watch the video. You will be encouraged!
