Dear Friends,
Today is my birthday, and as I reflect on the incredible journey God has led me through, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. God has done so many wonderful things in my life—doors have opened, dreams have been realized, and His faithfulness has been evident in every step. Birthdays are a time to celebrate not only the gift of life but also the many ways God has moved in our lives.
I also want to take a moment to acknowledge my wonderful wife, Dr. Malaika Graves. Her presence in my life has been a tremendous joy and blessing. I look forward to walking side by side with her into the future that God has ordained for us. Together, I know we will continue to experience God’s grace and favor in the years ahead.
As I look ahead, I do so with great expectancy, trusting that God has even more in store. I am believing for an expansion of my borders in ministry, publishing, teaching, finances, and other areas. I know that God’s plans for us are far greater than we could ever imagine, and I eagerly await the new opportunities and blessings He will provide.
Psalm 37:4 encourages us to "delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." As I celebrate today, I’m reminded of the importance of seeking God first in all things and trusting His timing and provision for every area of my life. I am confident that as I continue to walk in faith, God will continue to guide, bless, and expand my influence for His glory.
I want to thank each of you for being a part of my journey. Your support and encouragement mean more to me than words can express. As I step into this new year, I invite you to join me in living with expectancy, trusting that God will do even greater things in our lives.
With heartfelt gratitude and anticipation for what’s to come,
Dr. Wilfred Graves Jr.
