League (USBL) which is now the NBA-D League, for a team called the Long Island Surfs out of Stoney Brook College Long Island NY. He was privileged to play a little “entertainment basketball” for AND1 in NYC Rucker Park which is now the EBC. He came very close to a shot at the NBA but God had other plans for his life and he has no regrets. With that experience he now spends his time teaching & coaching the game of basketball, which he uses to incorporate into his MBS initiative. Further, on August 25, 2015, MBS will participate in a once in a lifetime Basketball Skills and Drills Clinic for boys and girls ages 10-14, at the Salvation Army Kroc Center, Camden, New Jersey hosted by the Philadelphia 76ers and Virtual Hospital. The children will receive “FREE,” I say again “FREE” sneakers, Jersey’s and lunch and be afforded the opportunity to interact with Professional NBA Playersand Coaching Staff. Minister Clarence, a man of extreme faith, knows that many events and opportunities like this will be provided to MBS members. With reliance on God and support from his family, wife Casanya Jones (celebrating 15 years) and five wonderful children, Juwann 20, Jaylen 16, Joshua 14, Josiah 11 and Jordyn 9, Minister Clarence is on a mission to re-build the family structure, enhance the communities and save lost souls. Believing that there is one God, one love and that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ and by consistently working hard in all he does, Minister Clarence and MBS will definitely leave a positive mark on youth, the family and communities all over the world. www.simplyelevate.com 89
