He a unique individual who is gifted with ability to proclaim the Gospel in a way which both excites you and convicts you!

He has a heart for the disenfranchised and the overlooked, and believes that God has called Destiny Worship Center Christian Church to follow the Great Commission in: 

• Reaching out to the unchurched for Christ.
• Restoring the Saints of God back to their rightful relationship with God.
• Recovering all that the enemy has tried to steal from the Child of God.
• Rejoicing, by celebrating in unity the awesome transforming grace of God.
