A North Charleston pastor says a special mailbox he used to collect prayer requests was destroyed Monday in what he calls a hate crime. The Rev. Dr. Samuel Whatley says the mailbox, which he refers to as a “Prayer Box," was destroyed by vandals. The box was twisted and ripped off its post and left on the ground in the 5300 block of Edith Street in North Charleston, according to an incident report.

7 August 2023 Kumapa Real Preacher Man was finally mentioned in the news. Prior to today, the news appeared to not desire to mention or inform the People about a real preacher as a candidate for the Mayor of North Charleston, South Carolina. My campaign, with a Press Release was sent to all news outlets around February 2023, therefore, nothing about me until it was shown that I would be on the ballot. King Jesus has me on a mission to guide our People out of poverty and Exodus out of this satanic prison and into the Light of King Jesus Christ Kingdom. “Pastor Samuel Whatley I”

31 August 2023 Mayor Debate at Royal Baptist Church, which appears bias because at least one of the other mayor candidates is a member of this church, and family members of that other candidate is on the board. It also appears a relative of the Chief Judge of the City of North Charleston might have membership there or close connections? I do not feel comfortable having a debate there, and after prayer, I believe King Jesus Christ does not want me too either.

18 October 2023 Post and Courier description of each candidate for mayor.
“Samuel Whatley I is a community-focused preacher who is not affiliated with a certain church, but ministers within the city. He established a community prayer box and Ten Commandments garden at his home. He has a background in information technology and has taught related courses at various colleges.
Whatley said he wants to remove corruption from the city. He plans to issue a full investigation into any city employee who has violated the law in an effort to “cast out Satan” from the North Charleston government. ‘The People have a choice, one side is far over yonder, and the other side is far near the Light of King Jesus Christ. The People should pray and decide carefully who they want to hire to lead the city,’ Whatley wrote in an email in response to a request for an interview with The Post and Courier.

“The North Charleston mayor and city council campaign with the candidates of Reverend Dr. Samuel Whatley I and his wonderful son, Samuel Whatley II, is the first of its kind, in this modern age, to raise awareness, that this Nation of Nations, is for the People, by the People, to stand up and be counted. This campaign has proven to the People that they can be poor and not part of the satanic establishment, regardless of age, while holding King Jesus Christ close to you in your heart, mind, soul, to help you lead our People righteously, without bowing to the sodomite agenda. We are True Israel, We are the Third Temple, We are the Royal Priesthood, We are of the Bloodline of King Jesus Christ, the Promised Land and direct descendants of the Seeds of Abraham, regardless of skin color, wealth status, gender, ethic backgrounds, We stand for Light, for We are the Light.”

“Declined, what is there to debate? The People know the other candidates track records, and the People know the position of the Real Preacher Man Teddybear. Coming to Cast Out satan! The city is the People, not a Corporation!”
