A native of Kankakee, IL and no stranger to the world of rap music Pastor J was always ready for a good battle of words. Who would have known that the childhood craft and love for music would be used for the Glory of the Lord? No stranger to church life, but running like so many of us Pastor J would begin a journey known all to well by many of the inner city youth. Pastor J would go through one life changing experience after another. At the age of twelve Pastor J’s mother past on his birthday. He would lose a grandmother, best friend, sister-in-law and so many others.

In Southern IL At the age of twenty Pastor J would confess Christ as his Lord and savior, He would soon become youth Pastor, chief adjunct, Deacon and then at the age of twenty-three called to minister the word of GOD.

That call would lead him and his wife back to Kankakee IL with no money and no place to live they would be beginning walking and ministering the word of GOD on some of their old stomping grounds. Preaching the peace that you are searching for is found only in Christ Jesus. Having some except the ministry of the Gospel and others past (die) having heard but not receive.

Creating a ministry that is as challenging as it is liberating is one thing E.O.F.G.M. has in its corner. Leading a ministry that’s been labeled radical, and unorthodox, is ok with Pastor J, GOD has called him to be different. A ministry that believes that salvation is not tied to the outer garments he preaches come as you are, if you like suits wear suits, if you like jeans and a throwbacks wear jeans and a throwbacks just come experience the power of GOD.

If you ever heard him minister, I know, you have heard him say but GOD. A true believer in the “BUT GOD Physiology” before he would even be empowered by the Spirit of the Lord to tear down and up root so many strong holds believers face today.
