God truly blessed my Ministry and allowed me to travel to some amazing places in the month of May. God is so good and He gave me the opportunity to do real Kingdom work for the Body of Christ.

It began May 6th when I headed to West Limestone High School in Elkmont, AL to speak with their students.
God truly moved and they were a great group of students. Then the next night, May 7th, I spoke at the Men’s Event at Salem Springs Baptist Church. This event was powerful, and the men in this community are such a great group. Sunday, May 8th, I spoke for the congregation at Pastor Kevin’s church of Salem Springs Baptist Church. God really moved in this service as well. Everyone in the community was so kind and welcoming, and I had a blessed three days there.

I was honored to be able to speak at the Baccalaureate service at Ridgecrest Baptist Church on Sunday, May 15th. I love any opportunity that God gives me to speak with students about what God has for them if they align their actions with where they are going. Afterall, they are our future. Later that evening, I spoke at the evening service at Ridgecrest Baptist Church with Pastor Ray Jones. God moved in that service also and the entire day was just a blessing.

Friday, May 20th, I headed to Camp Boothe in Green Pond, AL to speak to the men at the invitation of Dan Pierce. This is such a beautiful place and they are doing a great work at Camp Boothe. The next day, May 21st, I drove to Tuscaloosa for the Annual Gene Stallings Reunion. However, this year Coach decided to turn it into a work day for the community, which was affected by the April 27th tornado. We got there that morning and all had breakfast together before going out to the community of Holt to do cleanup. What we saw was unimaginable; every house in that community we were working in was destroyed. The amazing part of the story is that there is a beautiful church in the community within walking distance of the neighborhood. Even though there were so many houses destroyed, the church remained untouched. We split into groups and began cleaning housing lots. It was such hard work, but your heart couldn’t help but go out to these people as we were cleaning up what was left of their homes, their pictures, their memories…their lives. We all pulled together and had a very successful day helping those in need, but that was just a small part and so much is still needed to help all of those affected by these storms.

April was a powerful month and I praise GOD for truly blessing my Ministry. It started off when I spoke to the wonderful volunteers who were part of the Bill Glass Prison Ministry on April 1st. I have had the pleasure of working with this ministry many times in the past, and if you ever have a chance to be a part of this ministry with either your time or donations, I highly recommend it. God has given me a heart for inmates and this is a wonderful opportunity to touch the lives of men and women who are probably at their lowest times.

God’s blessings continued as I went out to speak at Tate Baptist Church in Corinth, MS on Monday April 4th with Pastor Mickey Trammel. What a powerful service we had and God really moved that night. April 8th and 9th I preached at a singles conference with Pastor Avery Henry in Snellville, GA, which is right outside of Atlanta. Both the Friday and Saturday services were awesome. God really moved in the lives of the singles who attended, and I was blessed during my time there.

April 10th I headed to Union Chapel AMEZ Zion Church in Montgomery, AL with Pastor S. A. Fields for the Annual Men’s Day. I was invited to this event by an old rival from Auburn and now dear friend Ron Stallworth. God gave me a powerful message to deliver to these men and God moved in a mighty way. On

April 12th I was invited by another dear friend of mine, Coach Bill McDonald, to be the guest speaker at the 13th Annual West Alabama Leadership Prayer Breakfast in Tuscaloosa. We had a great turnout and this was a wonderful event that I had the honor to be asked to be a part of. After that, I traveled to Jackson, MS to Harmony Baptist Church where my close friend Pastor Ricky serves. The service was incredible and we saw God work in a mighty way.

For Resurrection Sunday I drove down to Mobile, AL to speak at Knollwood Church with Pastor Aaron Fruh. Resurrection Sunday is such a powerful time and God moved Mightily in that service. I had many wonderful emails from the members of Knollwood in the days following, telling how God worked in their lives. It was wonderful! I then headed to Jackson, TN to speak with First Baptist Church of Jackson with Pastor Justin Wainscott. This is the home church of my dear friends Bill and Stacy Klein. We had a great time of fellowship and God truly blessed us all.

On April 30th I was scheduled to speak in Gardendale, AL at Christway for their Heart of a Champion Men’s Event, but as you are all very aware, on April 27th a horrific tragedy hit our great state of Alabama. The tornados that hit all over our state were unimaginable and the widespread devastation was heartbreaking. That very night, I immediately headed from where I was speaking in Jackson, TN straight down to Tuscaloosa, AL. We were supposed to have a Charity Golf Tournament with Coach Stallings that very next day. I knew I had to get to Tuscaloosa…the place that was like home to me, the place where I dreamed of going when I was just a young kid, the place where my dream came true as I played for the University of Alabama, the place where I met my late wife Ellen Christina Bible. As I entered the city that was such a big part of my life, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I didn’t even recognize where I was most of the time; buildings just completely gone, homes just gone, people just lost. My daughter Shelly and I spent the next few days doing everything we could to help. We provided food for the people there and cleaned up some of the devastation. I’ve went back several times since then and just the magnitude of the damage and the time it will take to build the city back to where it was is hard to comprehend. There were so many other areas of Alabama that were destroyed as well. So many people have allowed God to use them to help their neighbor, to donate their time to clean up, to donate their money to provide needs, to donate their clothes and personal belongings to people who walked away with only the clothes on their back. It has blessed my heart so much to see how the people of Alabama and so many other states have come together to help those in need. April 27th will be a date none of us will soon forget. My prayers go out still today for the families who were affected by the loss of their loved ones, homes, churches, workplaces and so much more.

God Bless You!

Thank you for speaking to Pinson Valley High School. You have definitely made me realize a lot today, and really got to my heart.

Pinson Valley High School, Pinson, AL Jeff Hall- Deputy

I hope everything is good with you. I am the deputy that met you at Pinson High School. I wanted to tell you that they had their prom last night and I truly believe your speech had an impact on these students, I know it did me. Thank you for the opportunity to hear you speak.

Hope & Life, Snellville, GA Singles Conference- Latanga Montgomery

I was at the event in Snellville, GA where you preached about The Meeting Place. The message was truly a blessing. I was fortunate to be able to sit in the front of the room on both days so I could hear and see how passionate you are about God and brining His word to His people. I was truly moved by your story and I am amazed by how you have stayed and kept your focus on God through all of your pain. Again, thank you for continuing to encourage people who have been or are going through hard times. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I hope that you will visit Hope and Life Fellowship again and you are truly a blessing.

Union Chapel AME Zion, Montgomery, AL Regina Lewis

Hello Mr. Stacy, this is Regina Lewis from Union Chapel and I really want to thank you for your powerful message today on, “The Power of Man” Thank God for using you to tell your testimony to glorify His Name!! My husband, Alphonso was really moved by your speech because he is a God fearing & a praying man!! We will never forget you or your message!! Also, we would like to take the time to give you a special thanks for taking the time to take pictures and for signing our Alabama caps!! My husband is a true Alabama fan which I guess you noticed with his Alabama tie!! He loves to mess with Ron Stallworth when it comes down to Alabama!! We will continue to pray for you, Shelly and your ministry!! God in Three Person, Bless in Trinity!

Siran spoke to juniors and seniors at our public high school and brought a powerful message about choosing one’s direction in life. His transparency in sharing his own struggles and poor decisions and about the tragedy he endured spoke directly to the issues our students are facing today. We selected him as a speaker to discourage our students not to drink and drive, but he went above and beyond that message. I truly believe his message will impact our students for years to come. Siran is an anointed servant of God, and God is using him mightily.

Praise be to Jesus for the month of March.  It was a complete blessing and I thank you all so much for all of your prayers. 

The month started off on March 8th with a powerful visit to Athens, GA.  Ron Coursen, Head Athletic Trainer, invited me up to share with the Georgia Football Team.  My Brother in Christ, Keith Pace from Destin, FL was there with me and we witnessed the Power of God move young men’s hearts.

I left Athens and traveled to Clinton, SC on March 9th for an FCA Prayer Breakfast at the Clinton Family YMCA. It was fruitful, there were high school students, college students, church leaders, homeless, juvenile delinquents all in attendance and all were blessed by the Word of God.

After Clinton my next stop was Tuscaloosa, AL  on March 10th at First Baptist Tuscaloosa Downtown for a Vision Awareness Dinner and Fundraiser along with Pastor Gill McKee, former strength coach Rich Wingo, Jack Rutledge and many friends along with a very good quartet singing. God really blessed us all.

I made a stop on Friday morning, March 11th to speak to the 3rd grade at Pleasant Grove Elementary School.  I love any opportunity I get to speak and share God’s Word to young children.  They were a great group of children, they were nice enough to give me a laundry basket full of snacks which Shelly and I are still eating.  

I ended the week that night down in Linden, AL at Linden Baptist Church for their Wild Game Dinner with Pastor Randy Creel.  It was a great group of people and God really blessed the night.

On March 23rd I traveled to Hattiesburg, MS and shared with Former Alabama Coach Ray Perkins  Men’s Bible Study Group.  The next morning I spoke to two groups, 7th-9th grade and 10th-12th grade at Presbyterian Christian School.  Both services had young people confessing and rededicating their lives to Christ.  That afternoon Coach Perkins and I went out and played a round of golf.  We ended up all square with a little upon further review.

The next morning I was back in Tuscaloosa speaking at TCHS.  Patsy Howell along with Sue Brewer headed this up, and with the principle consent I was able to come and speak with the students. It was the same format as PCS in Hattiesburg.  This school was particularly special because Patsy had Coach Club Volleyball with my late wife Ellen.  It was an emotional yet powerful event for all.  Patsy have been sending me some very good feedback from the students.

March 26th  I was in Childersburg, AL for an event to benefit Sharon Stewart.  Sharon has a disease called Sarcoidosis and has set up a foundation to bring awareness to this affliction. Please be sure to visit her website at www.sharonstewartsarcoidosisfoundation.com

The next morning I traveled to Birmingham, AL and spoke at Mt. Canaan Full Gospel Church.  It was such a powerful service.  God Blessed us in a might way that morning.  Their website is www.mcfgc.org and their church phone # is 205-929-0707 if or should you want to order a copy of the DVD which I highly recommend. I believe this message to be a mighty move of God.  Pastor and co-Pastor, Willie and Patricia O’Neal were very receptive of me and their staff and elders were first class individuals.

On March 29th my princess turned 8 years old! We had a birthday party down in Destin, FL with friends. And God blessed Shelly with a little Pomeranian puppy named Fuzzy.

I am closing out the month on Thursday, March 31st doing a fundraiser for my good friend Clyde Goode who has been stricken with Lukemia. Alot of former Alabama football players will be out signing autographs and autioning memorabilia. This will be at Steel 1st and 23rd in Downtown Birmingham it starts at 4pm. Everyone is welcome to come out.  

My Ministry is continuing to grow, and I know I would not be able to continue to have the impact for God’s Kingdom without so many Saints of God praying for me and my family.  Please be sure to check out my schedule and come visit if I am in the area, and also feel free to contact me through the booking tab if you have an event or church you would like for me to visit.  Also, in closing be sure to check out the web banner on my page for Cruise with a Cause.  You can click on this and it will take you directly to their web page.  This is a Missions Cruise to Jamacia that I will be attending and speaking along with many other amazing speakers and artist.  I would love for any of you that could to join me for this May 30th – June 4th, the rates are incredible and it is a wonderful opportunity to be a part of a Mighty work of God in the lives of the men, women and children of Jamacia.  Thank you again and I look foward to coming to a city near you.

“By this I know that Thou favourest me because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.”  Psalms 41:11

Blessings,

Bro. Siran

Speaking to students at TCHS

Hello everyone!  Here are a few pics from recent speakings.
I hope everyone has been enjoying our time together as much as I have!

Thanks and God Bless.

Now, the former Alabama running back is urging others to keep the faith whatever the circumstances.

“I could have decided not to come out of it,” Stacy told an overflow crowd at Oxford’s Meadowbrook Baptist Church Sunday. “But I came back. I told the devil to get away, and I came back.”

Stacy, 39, was driving his family home from his mother’s house when a drunk driver crossed an intersection and struck his car on Nov. 19, 2007 near Dothan. The accident also killed 29-year-old Adam Wayman, the other car’s driver.

Stacy and his 3-year-old daughter, Shelly, were seriously injured in the crash.

Siran,

I would just like to say thank you for being a God fearing christian man. At the A club Bar BQ you picked my eight year old son who is a die hard BAMA fan up over the table to take a picture with him which absolutely made his day. At this time we are having some issues with a parent at our school over prayer which has made a huge impact in a negative light on our children.

However, right before you took the picture Konnor witnessed you openly praying with a lady that was pregnant and while many thought nothing of it he was watching.

On the way home he mentioned it and he told his dad ” Hey Dad even real live football players see nothing wrong with prayer.”

Thank you, it has made an impact on his life to simply see someone pray we never know when little eyes are watching do we.

Thank You,

Krisden G

Siran,
what an awesome message you brought to Brewton this weekend at First Baptist Church. I was fortunate to see you at the Wild Game Supper Saturday night and again Sunday morning in church. I cannot phathom what you have gone through since the accident. But the message you speak and the way you bring it is unbelievable. I am a teacher / coach and I often speak of athletes and heroes in the same sentence. While I was a student at Alabama I enjoyed watching you as an athlete and I had the privilege as an adult to hear you speak as a hero. Because you and your daughter Shelly are truly heroes.

Roll Tide and Gob Bless!!!!!!!!

Take a minute to think about these four things that are not recoverable.  Live each minute like it is your last and live it as if Christ was physically right beside you.

1. The stone………..after the throw.
2. The word………after it’s said.
3. The occasion……..after it’s missed.
4. The time……….after it’s gone.
