Briefly describe your testimony of coming to Christ…

I started serving the Lord at age five in my extended family’s traveling gospel music ministry. I believed in Jesus at that time. However, it was at 12 years old that I received Jesus and was filled with the Holy Spirit at a revival. In the same month, I heard the call from the Lord during a supernatural encounter. It took many decades before I walked into the fullness of my calling.

Briefly describe your understanding of God’s calling on your life…

The calling on my life is to be apostolic, a prophetic voice, and a shepherd for the local church. This calling includes and is not limited to winning souls for Christ, proclaiming the gospel, creating disciples, planting churches, and speaking out against injustice.

How did you come to the Free Methodist Church?

I was introduced to the Free Methodist Church during my Master of Divinity studies at Fuller Theological Seminary by Rev. Dr. Joel B. Green, School of Theology Dean. After prayer, fasting, and discernment I received confirmation from God to proceed. Then Dr. Green recommended that I meet with my field education advisor, Rev. Chris O’Brien a Free Methodist Church minister to learn more.
