We are devotedly in love with Jesus and we are committed to developing; encouraging and helping people discover their God given purpose in life through faith and patience in the Lord. Our goal is to lead people into this same kind of life changing relationship with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Wilhemina and I are a dynamic couple with over 27 years of real-life experience in full time ministry. During this time, God has used us to minister and support churches in the US and Africa. Part of our call has been to awaken others to their God given destiny and in advancing the Kingdom of God through equipping leaders.

Wilhemina and I met while attending Christ Victory Church in Accra, Ghana. We love each other very much, we love doing ministry together and we know that we are stronger and more effective as a team. We have been married for over 25 years and we are the proud parents of two sons and a daughter Derrick, Joel and Michele. We love our children more than words can say and we are excited to see what God is going to do through these world changers.

For 14 years, we were part of the leadership team of International Victory Charismatic Church, OK. During this time I served as the Congregational Care Pastors of this amazing body of believers and God developed in us a passion for the local church. Most importantly, though, I gained a profound appreciation for the values of Spirit-led ministry, integrity, servanthood, and faith in God.

Prior to our coming to the United States, I served as the director of Victory International Bible School of Ministry and Missions in Accra Ghana, where I played a vital role in shaping the lives of hundreds of ministry students that had dedicated themselves to the calling of God. I also served as a National Coordinator; West & Central Africa Coordinator for Operation Christmas Child (Samaritan’s Purse) a gift-filled shoe box program out of Bonne, NC headed by Franklyn Graham son of Billy Graham. I served as the Pastor in-charge of Joshkrisdan Orphanage Home in Ghana West Africa founded by John and Libby Moritz based out of Sheffield, MA (Hearts of the Father Outreach Inc.) while Wilhemina served as the National Administrator. I served as an Associate Pastor of Springs of Live Chapel International and Agape world outreach International Accra Ghana.

In August of 2010, we began to feel a stirring in our hearts and God revealed to us that we were being called into new territory. As we continued to seek the heart of the Father, we began to see that he is calling us to pursue planting PRAISE CHURCH, a multi-cultural and multi-generational family church on a mission to: Love God, Love one another and Exhibit his love in Oklahoma City, OK. As we now see this dream becoming reality, we are filled with excitement and anticipation to for the journey ahead.

In April 2015 we stepped out in faith to pursue his course. We are laying the foundation for a church that will reach the city of Oklahoma City with the love of Jesus Christ. It’s with great privilege and honor as Lead Pastors to serve through Praise Church and offer a real and powerful experience with Jesus.
