About Us

Both of us accepted the Lord Jesus as Savior as children, but after our marriage in 1969 we did not seek the Lord or even attend church. After many years of "doing our own thing" we began to have a desire to know the Lord.

In July 1986 at the homegoing of our uncle, Luretha decided that she needed to renew her relationship with the Lord. At a prayer meeting held in my Aunt's home in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, I rededicated my life to the Lord and was filled with the Holy Spirit. I immediately called Leon at our home in Herndon, VA and told him what had happened and that the Lord spoke to me and told me that Leon would be a minister and would pastor.

After hearing from the Lord, Leon accepted the call of the Lord on his life and also rededicated his life to the Lord and was filled with the Holy Spirit in August 1986. He answered the call of God on his life in 1986 and attended International Bible Institute and Seminary in 1988.  Leon was licensed into the ministry in 1990 and was ordained as an Elder in the church in 1991. The Lord gave us the vision for Faith Works By Love Ministries in August 1989 and it was manifested in January 1994 through television ministry.

 Faith Works By Love internet ministry began in February 1997 and was followed by the radio ministry in July 1997.

Faith Works By Love is a preaching and teaching ministry seeking to save the lost and ministering to the body of Christ, equipping saints to do the work of the ministry.

We have been married 42 years, have 3 children and 3 grandsons. We live in Herndon, VA
