"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
John 14:1-3
Birth
Brother Champel Johnson Jamison was born on April 30, 1950 in Summerville, South Carolina to the late Samuel Jamison and Estell Williams. Reared by his parents until age 12, Champel relocated to Long Island, New York to live with his sister Jessie and brother-in-law Bobby Barnes.
Life
Having been introduced to Jesus Christ at an early age, Champel enjoyed attending church and worshipping. Champel was an artist and expressed himself through music. He penned lyrics and created songs with the hope of distributing them one day. With a love for drawing, Champel created sketches and mailed them to family and dear friends.
