SHARAEL NICOLE MOORE

Sharael Nicole Moore is 19 years old. She is a sophomore at University of the Arts located in Philadelphia, PA. Her major focus in school is vocal performance.

Sharael is a member of Cathedral International located in Perth Amboy, NJ where Bishop Donald Hilliard, Jr. is her Senior Pastor. She has been an active member since 1990 from the age of five (5). Sharael began dancing with the Kingdom Dancers, as well as, singing with the Joy Bells choir. Upon her teenage years, she began singing with the New Generation Choir, stepping with the Step Ministry, and has led Praise and Worship as a Praise Team Leader in Teen Church. Sharael is a multi-talented young woman.

Sharael is in high demand in the church community. She has performed her character as Mother Jones at numerous events. She has performed for the National CEFCA (Covenant Ecumenical Fellowship and Cathedral Assemblies) Women’s Conferences, Birthday Parties, Youth Conferences, and Street Ministries to name a few.

The character of Mother (Pronounced Mauva) Jones is a comedy routine designed to make you laugh. Her character is a mother of a church that loves Jesus and will not allow you to make her feel ashamed. She is bold and ready to let anyone know about her love for Jesus.

Mauva Jones’ character is not designed to offend anyone. Her character is purely over dramatized to show different expression of the southern boldness of a church mother.

She uses physical and verbal demonstrations to take you back south and she reminds us that class, education, and intellect does not give us a monopoly on knowing whom Jesus is.

More than anything – Sharael has named Jesus Christ to be Lord of her life and has given her gifts over to be used by Him.

REVELATION S.E.E.D.
Separate Entity Eternally Delivered

Beautiful women who somehow lost their way — a former back-up singer with K.C. and the Sunshine Band; an ex-prostitute; an incest survivor; and a convicted drug dealer; allured by the false sense of comfort that drugs and crime provide, all ended up in the same place. Prison became their salvation because they found God.

Their incredible story begins with singer Margaret Reynolds formerly of the hit group K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Due to her involvement with drug dealers, Reynolds got caught for conspiring to sell drugs. Reynolds knew she was not going to survive prison without the help of God. Through music, she worked on her ministry and testimony that led to the formation of Revelation S.E.E.D. Transferred several times to different prison systems, she used these opportunities to recruit talented vocalists. But (Sister Margaret) Reynolds did not want a group of women who merely sing; members of the group had to live by the standard of the word of God.

After she got out of prison, through the encouragement of close friend, veteran R&B chanteuse Betty Wright, Reynolds, now an ordained minister, contacted former prison mates to take Revelation S.E.E.D.‘s testimony to the world.

Margaret Reynolds chose a few prison mates to join in telling powerful living testimonies of their life-changing experiences, triumphs and redemptions:

Donna Hubbard, a former prostitute and strung out on drugs for eight years, was homeless, slept in abandoned buildings and was once beaten and left for dead. She was arrested so many times that she was no longer afraid of jails. But the reality of losing her children and serving 24 years in prison lead Hubbard to get on her hands and knees and seek God’s help. While in prison, she became an ordained minister and a certified firefighter.

Lucretia Church, the youngest member of the group, was molested at a very young age. The horror of the experience drove her crazy; she subsequently ran away from home and became a crack addict at age 16. In prison, an inmate introduced Church to God and she has since then pledged her life to walk in the Lord’s footsteps.

Nicole Johnson was a bona fide drug dealer. For years, she led a double life. Johnson came from a well-to-do, suburban, middle-class family. Unbeknownst to her family, she had become a drug user since the age of 22. In order to continue her habit, Johnson started selling drugs to avoid paying for her drug of choice, cocaine. After the drug bust, she decided to go cold-turkey from the drugs and has been clean ever since. While in prison, she obtained her college degree and graduated magna cum laude.

Revelation S. E. E. D is set to take center stage to give their inspirational, incredible living testimonies to the world and offer hope through powerful and soulful music that is sure to transcend all musical boundaries.

Revelation S.E.E.D’s debut CD, “Living Testimonies” on Evander Holyfield’s Real Deal Records was released July, 2002. “Living Testimonies” is produced by R&B great Betty Wright and Angelo Morris. Boxing champ Evander Holyfield is the executive producer.
