Ordained Minister in Mount Prospect, Illinois
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
My ministry journey began long before my online ordination. The Redeemed Christian Church of God ordained me in 2002, and I have served as a Parish Pastor. My participation on this platform extends my commitment to serving individuals, couples, and families through ministry, wedding officiating, and marriage preparation.
Where are you from?
I am based in Chicago, Illinois. I coordinated the prayer ministry at Jesus House Chicago from 2004 to 2016 and currently serve as the founder and lead intercessor of Transformational Prayers Network, a ministry of Life Encounters Incorporated, a nonprofit organization.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to reach and serve more couples through meaningful wedding ceremonies and thoughtful marriage preparation. Through FSMI Weddings and Marriage Solutions, my desire is to help couples celebrate their commitment while building a foundation of faith, mutual respect, healthy communication, and shared purpose. I want the care they receive to make a difference beyond their wedding day.
