new Senior Pastor for NDCC came about.

EEW Magazine has posted Pastor Riva’s full statement regarding the one provision that limits her
ability to have her curse formally heard in a court of law.

PASTOR RIVA TIMS' STATEMENT

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, And for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep quiet, Until her
righteousness goes forth like brightness, And her salvation like a torch that is burning.
Isaiah 62:1

I am prayerful that God's will for the members of New Destiny Christian Center be done. My
complaint against NDCC board is and always has been an issue of the alleged negligent and illegal
process NDCC’s board used to select a new pastor. My concern, as the mother of the children of the
late Dr. Zachery Tims Jr., Zoelle, Zachery III, Zahria and Zion Tims is that they will never have an
opportunity to receive the inheritance their father left for them.

As the co pastor to many that were birthed into the Kingdom of God at NDCC my concern is that the
legacy and vision of NDCC will be abandoned. A real mother desires for her baby to live!
I believe that I have an obligation to let our voice be heard.

That obligation is being fulfilled.

The voice of the Tims' family and many New Destiny Christian Center members is being heard
nationally. I signed a Marital Settlement Agreement in 2009. The document is over 30 pages
including an addendum. There is one sentence that excludes me from filing a legal complaint against
the Board of New Destiny Christian Center. Of course, this was signed while Dr. Zachery Tims, Jr.
was alive when there would never be a reason for me to file a complaint against NDCC.

This can be challenged in a court of law but our desire is not to lose focus of our eminent goal to
expose any possible deception of the NDCC board in their selection of the new pastor. Those who
truly knew Dr. Zach know that he would not back down from any opposition but would run to the
battle. I stand in righteous indignation on behalf of him and my children.

Though I am unable to present the case in a court of law, II Timothy tells us that God is THE
Righteous Judge and I declare He is on our side. I will fully continue to support my New Destiny
Christian Center family in every effort to manifest the Spirit of Truth.

-END STATEMENT-

This whole process has been really convoluted. This is just sad to see.
