T here are times in our lives where whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. From your car breaking down, to unplanned financial issues, one thing seems to lead to another. And most often they are beyond our control. We live in a tumultuous and haphazard time, where a dilemma has occurred that is beyond our control. Yet through it all, we must continue to preserve, progress, and have faith. Walking by faith, The Brothers of the East Central Province are diligent in our pursuit of excellence and “have not missed a beat”. Our members have arrayed themselves appropriately to take on family, professional and fra- ternal tasks to the best of their ability. Our Chapters continue to hold regular meetings, via conference calls and Zoom and remain vigilant in doing the good works of Kappa. Our Province Board is persevering through these difficult times by incessantly planning, as illustrated by its strategy to combine Province Council with its upcoming C. Rodger Wilson Leadership Council, by its commitment to the Brotherhood with its bi-weekly

“Hour of Power Prayer” and through its dedication to Achievement, with its upcoming Virtual Spring Graduation Ceremony for Graduating Brothers. We are cognizant of what is described as “the new normal,” but our strength derives from the “old normal” and that is our faith in God. It is God who has encouraged us that our belief in Him will give us strength, regardless of the situa- tion. We will continue to love, support, and lean on one another as we come through such unprecedented times but, most of all we will remain encouraged by one another. 1 Thessalonians 5:11: “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing”. For we are the “small but Mighty,” East Central Province!

Yours in the Bond,

Darren “DJ” Jordan, Polemarch East Central Province Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
