This massive release is a testimony that people around the world still remember and love the legendary Joe Simon.
In-spite of the hostile attack on his character from the demeaning recording by Memphis Bleek and the harsh spin that some reporters have placed on his decision to stand against it, Bishop Joe Simon is continuing to gain support in his pursuit to continue his work with the youth while defending his ministry and standing up for the Christian community.
Ron Neal, Executive Director of the International Black Broadcasters Association said that when he talked to Bishop Joe Simon; he could see the problem but fully understood when he heard the Memphis Bleek song, after hearing the song he was fired up.
“It is unacceptable to me, my organization and our community.....
I met Bishop Joe Simon when he was Joe Simon many years ago and even back then when he was singing R&B he seemed like a decent man. He didn’t do the kind of stuff on this recording back then, he was clean. And now that he has left that life behind and is trying to live for Jesus Christ, to have his name and ministry disrespected in this manner is simply unacceptable.” (Ron Neal)
Ron Neal has gone on record stating that Bishop Joe Simon has his full support on this matter.

“I know that this brother is serious about his relationship with Jesus Christ and he is dedicated to his work for the Lord. It doesn’t take a genius to recognize the wrong and harm that has been done to him and his ministry by this tasteless manner in which Hip-Hop artist Memphis Bleek has sampled his voice.
I am behind Bishop Joe Simon one hundred percent and anything I can do to support him in his struggle, I am with him.”
Concerning the new single, Ron Neal thinks it is a great example of how serious Bishop Simon is about dedicating his talents to Jesus Christ.
Bishop Dwight Pate of Church Point Ministries of Baton Rouge, LA who was likewise concerned by the disturbing news, has assured Bishop Simon that he is with him in his fight to stand up for his integrity as a minister.
“For Bishop Joe Simon to leave the secular music industry to dedicate his life to the work of the ministry for 21 Years and then have done to him what Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek and the Record companies have done to him is an attack on his integrity. But I believe that while the enemy meant it for evil God is going to make it work out for Bishop Simon’s good”
Describing this conflict as a modern-day David and Goliath, Bishop Pate believes that God will bring Bishop Simon out of this situation better than he went in.
When asked about what he thought of those who accuse Bishop Simon of simply wanting money his reply was to the affect that- some people who are all about money themselves tend to think that others are also, even when they are not. There is also the unfair tendency to treat good Ministers as if they are the same as the bad ones. But Bishop Simon has demonstrated that he is serious about his life as a Christian and he has not compromised. He left a lucrative lifestyle and was willing to struggle rather than sell out; and that he believed that Bishop Simon has proven their false perception of him.
Bishop Pate said that it was a pleasure to see Bishop Simon take a stand that would allow us to rally around him when so many refuse to stand as they should.
Bishop Joe Simon has been featured on numerous radio programs discussing this matter and has received abundant support and encouragement from around the nation and the world.
Mayor Johnny Ford founder of the World Conference of Mayors, Inc.
(WCM) has come out in support of Bishop Joe Simon stating:
“Bishop Joe Simon is the Global Ambassador and Spiritual Advisor to the World Conference of Mayors, Inc., and we are supporting our Spiritual Advisor.
It is an insult to Bishop Simon's name and ministry and an insult to our Mayors......”
Bishop Joe Simon is requesting your prayers and support.
