It’s been more than a year since the Nashville community said goodbye to Bishop Marcus Campbell . The pastor and community leader died at 49 due to heart problems.
Despite the sorrow felt by his family and friends, they are determined to carry on his legacy.
“It’s been a little difficult, but I still say amazing because it’s capitulated me to the next level and allowed me to find Stacy in the ministry,” said Stacy Campbell, his widow. “And to help others and be the best I can be.”
Bishop Campbell was known for many things, but especially his mentoring program, Gentleman and not Gangsters, which impacted many lives.
“For the future of the program, I’m revamping it right now,” Campbell said. “We’re not gone. We’re just sitting getting everything together. Like a great team, getting buildings and resources together.”
Although some programs are being revamped, others through BMAC Ministries, like the annual Christmas toy drive, continue to thrive.
The drive is made possible through a partnership with Pastor Ty Juan Card of Mount Herman Missionary Baptist Church.
