She spun the wheel for "Dialing for Dollars." And prior to MTV, she was a music jockey for a station owned by Michael Green. She had also hosted two shows on Georgia Public Television and had interviewed the likes of Cicely Tyson, Rosalyn Carter and Lena Horne. A brilliant businesswoman, BJ built her own production company. She owned the company that had hired Cameron back when he modeled in Atlanta. She’d been his boss. Cameron would never forget the first time he met her. She’d been arrogant. She’d said something to put the young model in his place. Leaning across her desk, Cameron had looked her in the eye and said, “I’m not going to take that.” Having set the record straight, the two established a good working relationship. Years later, after the two had gone their separate ways, BJ contacted Cameron with a special request. Having come out of a tumultuous relationship, she was expecting a child and had decided to raise him alone, and she wanted to name him after “the only two men I know with integrity,” BJ told Cameron. The men were her grandfather, who was a former pastor, and Cameron. When her son was born, he bore Camy’s acting name, Cameron, and the middle name of her grandfather, which was Clay. Cameron flew from New York to Atlanta to attend his godson’s dedication ceremony. Five years had passed and he had not spoken to BJ since. Though he had called her numerous times, she never returned his calls. Obedience to God “I’d listened to Cameron’s calls for weeks, but I hadn’t answered,” BJ remembers. “My stepfather had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and I stayed with him until the end. He was the dearest man, and he’d been a wonderful father to me. He kept saying, ‘BJ, your husband and children are coming.’ I said, ‘Dad, that’s the drugs talking.’ “I had given myself completely to the Lord. I wore a wedding band and told everyone that I was married to Jesus until He brings me one just like Himself. “After Dad passed, I was at his house one day cleaning when Cameron called. God must have shoved me, because one minute I was in the hall and the next I nearly fell over the phone when it rang. We talked for five hours, and by the time we got off the phone, we were getting married.” Cameron boarded a plane and flew to Atlanta. He knew the Lord’s voice. He knew he’d been told that BJ was to be his wife. In truth, they didn’t know each other very well. They’d been friends for a few years when they worked together. Otherwise, the only contact they’d had was when he attended her son’s christening. “I was broke and had lost everything,” Cameron remembers. “BJ, having lived a powerhouse life, on television, having her own business and dating millionaires, was also now alone—devastated by loss. And yet, she was with God. “I asked her to marry me, and she accepted. This wasn’t a love match. We were both simply being obedient to the Lord. After we got engaged, we spent the next nine months getting to know one another. We married in November 1998, surrounded by all our children. It was bliss, and we fell in love with each other more each day.” Growing a Church In 1998, Cameron and BJ started New Light Dominion Church as a Bible study. They went from holding services in their house to a movie theater in the affluent Buckhead area of Atlanta. “We cleaned up beer bottles and popcorn before each service,” Cameron recalls. “As the church grew, so did we.” Staying connected with KCM, they scheduled their vacations so they could attend the ministries’ Believers’ Conventions and Victory Campaigns, traveling to Washington, D.C.; Fort Worth; and Nashville, Tenn. “We both had already been strengthening our faith for years by reading KCM materials, including the magazine, and watching the 'BVOV' broadcasts. We were teaching people to live by faith, act like Jesus and do exploits for God. I was so happy preaching the gospel.” In 2013, BJ was on her way to meet a friend for tea when she heard the Lord say, 'That’s who you want. Who you need is Cameron Arnett!' 18 : BVOV
