I
Believe He is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY Lord God Almighty! HOLY,
HOLY, HOLY Merciful and Mighty! God in Three Persons,
Blessed Trinity.
I Believe not only is God’s Plan
for Christians to laugh, but we should find the purpose
in laugher. Ecclesiastes 3:4 “…and a time
to laugh…”
I Believe according to Proverbs 17:22, “a
merry heart doeth good like a medicine, a broken spirit
drieth the bones”. It is my hope that all will
experience the healing power of laughter.
I Believe the “Laugh and Learn
Ministry” comes from God! “Every good and
perfect gift come from above and cometh down from the
Father”, according to James 1:17. “A man’s
gift maketh room for him and bringeth him before great
men”, according to Proverbs 18:16. Therefore
I thank God for the great Pastors that have invited
me to their churches to share in the “Laugh and
Learn Ministry.” I am so grateful to the Pastors
who allow me to do Gospel Comedy on Saturday night
and preach the following Sunday morning.
I Believe you need to know that I sincerely
love and enjoy what I do. It is my greatest desire
that laughter will abound. This does not mean, however,
that I take my work lightly. Gospel Comedy is serious
business! Therefore, when booking me it is critical
that the booking agreement/contract be honored. Know
that if you DO NOT send me the booking agreement/contract
and deposit, I CANNOT HOLD THAT DATE FOR YOU. Please
keep in mind as well that all deposits are non-refundable.
I Believe you need to know that I am
not the kind of Gospel Comedian who make fun of how
people praise God. The Bible declares that God inhabits
the praises of His people, seeking such to worship
Him and the speaking in tongues is a gift. Therefore,
no need to worry about me using what is “Sacred
to God”, just to make people laugh. THAT’S
NOT MY STYLE OF GOSPEL COMEDY! The Lord is to be honored
and held in reverence at all times.
I Believe you need to know that I prefer
not being last on the program or event. I have learned
that it is difficult to make people laugh after they
have been sitting for 2 or more hours.
I Believe you need to know that when
you are making out your programs or flyers, I prefer
to be called Elder, Minister or Brother Hankins, NEVER
Rev. Hankins. The Bibles declares in Psalms 111:9 “…holy
and reverend is His name.”
I Believe you need to know that I will
not perform comedy during the time while people are
eating. When people are eating, they are not listening,
but walking, talking and asking for more tea and dessert…LOL!!
I Believe you can have 3 in 1! I can
be and have been, scheduled on one program as Brother
Alcindor as Emcee, Elder Hankins as guest Preacher,
and Gospel Comedian LaSalle LaSalle.
I Believe if all minds and hearts are
clear, let’s make the devil mad by enjoying our
walk with the Lord with laughter.
