Tarsha Barnes and husband Andre “007″ Barnes kick off their 4th annual BlessFest event
On Sunday, November 18 former 5th Ward Boyz member gangsta rapper Andre “007″ Barnes gathered the community at an Acres Homes-area Walgreens parking lot for his fourth annual BlessFest. The event is designed to minister to Houstonians through preaching, prayer, Christian hip hop, and the meeting of physical needs of food, health, and education.
Attendees were able to register for random drawings to receive one of 50 turkey baskets, one month’s paid light bill, a free computer, or one month’s paid rent.
Barnes organized the affair to express his Christian faith and told me he was also excited to offer a year’s worth of computer classes to metaphorically teach people how to fish in addition to serving them a one-time meal of a filet.
