Jeffery L. Wall is a native of High Point, N.C.

Pastor Wall is an accomplished preacher of the Gospel who is skilled at rightly dividing the Word so that all who hear can understand how to apply God’s Word to their lives. Despite being told that he only had six weeks or less to live back in 1987, Pastor Wall experienced a healing from the hand of God that would spare his life...and he's still going! Fervently claiming his memoirs, "6 Weeks or Less: A Portrait of Faith" recounts the challenges and miracles Pastor Wall faced on his life's journey. Looking back over his life, he clearly recognizes the value of it "all" and, as the Apostle Paul professes in Romans 8:28, as they "work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose." He is married to Trina Wall and is the father of Tia, Geoffery and Deboris. Finally, he is a born-again man of God who loves God with all of his heart?.

Tremayne Moore is the founder of Mayntre Manuscripts, LLC, a publishing company with a vision of writing to write the broken soul. Like the one in six men who were sexually abused before the age of sixteen, Moore knows what it feels like to be broken. Molested by a close family member, Tremayne spent much of his childhood in fear and yearning for someone to take his side. Poetic prose flowed fluidly from Tremayne’s pen, providing a release for pain, a way to celebrate love, and the foundation for his life as a writer.At this time, two sisters in Christ prophetically spoke these words to Tremayne: “I have a vision. You will write something that will change someone's life, or even be quoted till the end of time.” Again, he didn’t think anything of it, even though numerous people encouraged him to put a book together. Tremayne was focused on writing to be a blessing to someone. In 2009, Tremayne released Take it from Me, which pushed him into his prophetic destiny. Many lives have been blessed through the poetry God gives to Tremayne to write. His prayer is that the people he reaches will be led to open their hearts to the Holy Spirit and that people pursue their passions and talent for the Glory of God. He wants all people to be propelled into their prophetic destinies, living blessed, highly favored, and empowered to prosper under His hand. Tremayne is committed to educate youth, parents, pastors, and community members concerning child sexual abuse/teenage suicide through social media and community involvement. His book “Deaf, Dumb, Blind & Stupid: Michael Anderson’s Fight for Life” was listed on OOSA Bookclub’s The Best of 2012.

Pastor Alexander “Jay” Patrick is a native of Hurt, VA was educated in the Pittsylvania County School System and was a well accomplished basketball player. His talent in basketball and desire to excel would lead him to Hampden-Sydney College. This transition would broaden his horizons from a standpoint of diversity and ministry.

Pastor Robert J. Tillman is a native of Thomasville, NC. Called out and set aside from his mother’s womb, it is evident through his ability of delivering God’s word that the hand of the Lord is upon his life. In January 1997, he answered the call of God to preach the gospel at the Friendship Baptist Church under the tutelage of Pastor Haywood N. Goode where God super-naturally demonstrated through him the proof of His delivering power by the preached word. This Godly ambassador is not your ordinary preacher. He is a man of great faith and remarkable integrity. It is apparent that God has anointed him to preach the gospel to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, and preach deliverance to the captives. As a result of his gifts and callings, he has been favored in many avenues of ministry. In January 2010, God began to bring Pastor Tillman’s ministry full circle by ordering his foot steps back to his first love, Oak Grove Baptist Church in High Point, NC where he now serves as the senior pastor. By empowering, equipping, motivating, and acting as a life-coach he hopes to push the people to their ultimate destiny through spiritual commitment and personal involvement in the body of Christ. He is married to the illustrious Elder Likesha Morgan Tillman, the love of his life and the “wind beneath his wings”. He is the proud father of one daughter, Miss Morgan Destiny Tillman. He is the eldest of two children and a firm believer in family values. Pastor Tillman is a cum laude graduate of High Point University with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Relations and possess a Masters of Science in Adult & Continuing Education from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University. A servant of God, a lover of praise & worship, and determined for God to receive the glory from his life he Pastor Tillman boldly asserts, “he’s a praiser by nature and a worshipper by experience”.

Minister Gabriel Harper Bio Min. Harper’s mother says God told her to name him Gabriel when she was pregnant. The name Gabriel means “man of God; God is my strength; God’s able-bodied one.” The angel Gabriel served as a messenger sent from God. This name is his purpose: to serve as a messenger- to tell a dying world about our Savior who lives. God gave Min. Harper the mission of Exhorting, Encouraging, Edifying, and Equipping his people.    As a preacher’s kid, born in High Point, NC in the early 80s, Gabriel always knew he was different. He knew God had a plan for him and it would take him far beyond the city walls of High Point, NC. After graduating from North Carolina A&T in 2007, he packed up his 1999 Buick Park Avenue and journeyed to Atlanta.  With no job and nowhere to live but the floor of his cousin’s apartment, he knew God was calling him to make a faith move.  Here he witnessed something he had never seen before. He was blessed to connect with young men, his own age, on mission for Christ.  One of Min.Harper favorite scriptures is recorded in 1 Timothy 1:12, “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;”

His testimony is broad, “from the suburbs to the street corner”.  He has a particular passion for youth and disenfranchised members of our society as well as under-served communities and populations.  His vision for the “One Hundred” came after the Lord directed him to the book of Nehemiah in 2009.  His favorite non-scriptural quote is “Some would live within the sound of church or chapel bell, I’d rather run a rescue ship 100 yards from the gates of hell”. -Author unknown  He is married to Elder Antoinette G. (Angel) Harper, a “Proverbs 31” wife, mother, and helper.
