Time is truly flying, it's hard to believe that we are already at the end of the year. 2017 has truly been a blessed year for Encore as we have achieved some milestones. I was proud to launch our first ever double-cover issue with Anthony Brown and Donnie McClurkin. The success of that issue led to this double-cover issue featuring VaShawn Mitchell and Tina Campbell. One of my adopted mottos is start big and finish strong, this issue of Encore truly exemplifies that. These double-cover issues will not become the norm for us as we will revert back to our traditional format in the new year, but when the occasion calls for it, you will see another one.
I give honor and thanks to God, because He gives me the strength and ability to create this magazine. This issue is full of great interviews to inspire and encourage you. You will be blessed and equipped for greater things in the new year. Along with our VaShawn Mitchell and Tina Campbell cover stories, this issue features Ted Winn, the Walls Group, Marvin Sapp, Pastor Joshua T. Scott, G.I., Rev. Jared Sawyer, Bishop Derek T. Triplett, Yonette Odessa, Actor Brandon T. Jackson & Producer-Filmmaker Sinatra Osm and author Shaterra Jordan. I introduce to some and present to others, Encore Entertainment Magazine.
