The Lord has been dealing with me for a very long time. I had this deep calling from within that just couldn’t be satisfied with my status at the time. In 2010, I had to make some changes in my personal prayer life and church duties to free myself up to clearly hear the voice of the Lord. I needed to know what He wanted me to do. I kept seeing many people’s faces in their darkest hour and my spirit was longing to get to them. When I saw them, the spirit of God wouldn’t let me rest content with just saying, “See you later.” I knew there was more work to be done. As I kept seeking God, He kept sending people my way that needed help. I continued to sacrifice and meet the needs of the people from all walks of life, both saved and unsaved. One day during the Fall of 2011, I was on my knees praying in my living room, and the Lord spoke to me and gave me the name BTS Ministries, which stands for Between The Sundays. I was blown away as the spirit moved on me. He brought in my spirit the story of the Good Samaritan. He shared with me that the real work was between the Sundays, because typically on Sundays, people put on a façade, and say and do all the right things before the people, but they return to their misery. He made it abundantly clear in that moment that the ministry is to be called, BTS Ministries (Between The Sundays). He showed me that the focus would be helping others beyond their façade and working below the surface while caring for them in the moment. I realized that I was already performing the ministry that God had placed in my spirit. So, I asked Him how was I supposed to operate with the name, but He didn’t clarify at that time. He didn’t share any more details at that time other than to continue to do what I was doing. This personal ministry, that God had in progress within me at that time, felt massive. I kept it in my heart while waiting to get further instructions. The call could not be ignored. I stayed focused on spending time with God, which was critical for me because of everything I had been experiencing.

As time went on, God was adding some details and giving me more insight into the ministry. I was talking with my baby brother during the winter months of 2011 and the Lord impressed upon me to tell him about the ministry and ask him to draw the image I saw in my mind. He began to work on it right away. While working on it, he shared that he knew God was in this work because it ministered to him. He told me he heard a local pastor preach about the same concept and he said, “Wow!” He shared the scripture the pastor used and it convicted me and confirmed what God had placed in my spirit earlier. The Spirit moved upon me to use that scripture as my foundational scripture for this ministry. The scripture is Luke 10:30-37, “The Good Samaritan’s parable.” The Lord told me that this was the framework for the ministry. I still didn’t know exactly what I was supposed to do, but He gave me valuable insight into the importance of the value in every person. I wrote everything down as He gave it to me. One day, believe it or not, I was listening to the radio, lo and behold, it was the same pastor my brother told me about. He was speaking about his theme for the year relating to breaking down walls. As I listened, the spirit moved upon me again and I knew it was the voice of the Lord to encourage me that this ministry that he birthed in me is what I was supposed to be pursuing.

I decided to compile and type all of the notes I had written from all the different moments the Lord was dealing with me relating to what He wanted me to do. I finally gave a copy to my pastor, Bishop Rickie Jackson, for his spiritual insight. He felt that the ministry was powerful and stated that I should pursue it as the Lord leads me. Again, I still didn’t know exactly what God wanted me to do with the name. Along the way, the Lord was still sending people my way. I took it as His way of continuously prepping me for this ministry. He taught me so much through this process. I realized that every time God moved upon me to help someone, I always had what I needed to minister to them. The resources came in different forms. It wasn’t just providing needs through monetary means. One story comes to mind…the Lord had provided an opportunity for me to minister to a lady during a critical time in her life. I was called upon during the day, night, and wee hours of the morning to pray with her. I didn’t reveal to her that God was prepping me for this work. As the Lord was breaking the strongholds in her life, she said, “I know God was using you, because every time I called you, especially in the wee hours of the morning, you sounded like you were waiting to help me. Even though I knew I woke you up, I never could tell by your response. One day I will show you how much I appreciate you helping me in my darkest hour.” So, you see, the resources I gave to her were time and fervent prayer.

In the year 2022, God moved on me to transition from being the Youth Director at my church, where I served in that position for over a couple of decades. At the beginning of the year 2023, I was led to pursue an intimate journey with God for direction for the first 100 days of 2023. After the completion of the 100 days, God in His infinite wisdom and timing revealed what He wanted me to do with the name BTS Ministries, which God birthed in me back in 2011. He told me to turn the BTS Ministries into a non-profit ministry. He confirmed the framework and the system in which the BTS Ministries would operate. After receiving my requested confirmation from God, through much prayer and supplication, on June 16, 2023, I stepped out in obedience. The BTS Ministries became an official ministry on July 28, 2023.

The BTS Ministries is a God-centered nonprofit organization focusing on bringing awareness to the truth of your value and worth and actively demonstrating God’s love to those whom He loves.

“Every action and assistance provided by BTS Ministries is infused with love and value!”
