Johnson and together they are the proud parents of two daughters, Michele and Marshe' and has since been blessed with two son-in-laws and four grandchildren.

     Bishop Johnson has been preaching since 1980 and pastoring since 1987. While in the military, he traveled extensively overseas and had the opportunity to pastor the base chapel while stationed in Baubenhausen, Germany. His last six years in the military were spent at Fort Drum, New York. While there, he was inspired by God to build a new sanctuary for soldiers, their dependents and civilians as well. In 1990, the edifice was completed and today it is still a haven for all people. Bishop retired from the Army in 1991 as a Chief Warrant Officer. During his ministry, many souls have been saved, marriages reconciled and drug addicts delivered.

     In the year 2000, Bishop Johnson was graced with God's wisdom once again to create a new thing = "Drive Thru Prayer"! Yes, this innovative idea took him from the peanut fields of Carrollton to the bright lights of Hollywood to star in the national televised show "To Tell The Truth".

     From his youth, he has always been musically inclined. The Lord has blessed him with the release of his first CD entitled "He Has the Whole World In His Hands" and with God's contunued anointing, additional CDs are forthcoming.

     It's Bishop's desire to help people to pay thier bills, as a result, he has organized the H.E.L.P. Program - "Helping Everyone Live Prosperously". At our initial H.E.L.P. conference, over four thousand dollars ($4000.00) were given to various individuals. In Addition, Bishop Johnson has established the BLE$$ING$ GIVAWAY and periodically,one hundred dollars ($100.00) are given away at Sweet Haven. With God's help, he hopes to increase this amount to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) on any given Sunday
