        Curtis and Jamila Jones have a strong desire to see young adults prosper. Both individuals didn’t have an easy life nor were they fed with what people may call a “silver spoon”. They had to go through many trials, tribulations, and mistakes and had to overcome many obstacles in preparation to be used to minister to many young adults.

        Curtis was raised in Jackson, MS where he graduate from Provine H.S. and also served in the United States Marine Corps. He is currently working toward his Bachelors in Science Management from Belhaven University.\u00a0 Service to other individuals has always been a passion for him and seeing others become successful is one of the most prized experiences he has ever felt. Curtis accepted Christ in 2011 after witching his father struggle with a very serious illness. Curtis is ready, willing, and able to be about his Fathers business by being the hands and feet of Christ.

        Jamila was born and raised in Chicago, IL but found herself traveling down south to attend Jackson State University to receive a Mass Communications degree in 2009 and a Masters in Human Resources Management in 2012. She always found herself involved with ministering and mentoring young ladies although not fully understanding her purpose. She fully received Christ in her life in 2010 where she became completely sold out for Him and to began her journey of living out His purpose for her life,.

        Beginning a friendship in 2011, Curtis and Jamila never knew that God had a plan to evolve their friendship into something much more serious and in 2015 they were joined together in marriage and in 2016 were led to fellowship with The ROCK Worship Center and to serve as Young Adult Leaders. With like minds, they come together often to pray for young adults both single and married to prosper in God. They are excited to share their journey from single life to marriage with others while praying to be a blessing to everyone whose path God allows them to cross.

        THRIVE is designed for them to join together with other young adults to live out their purpose that GOD has ordained for them. Please join them to carry out this mission!<\/p>
