BOARD of DIRECTORS
Dan August Beasley, Senior Pastor/President/Chairman
Through personal experiences of ostracism, lack, pain, homelessness, illness, and divorce... Our Founder morphed into an advocate for the underprivileged underdogs and black sheep of the world. His dynamic new Book, paints a vivid portrait of "f8th" living vicariously as "Rudolph", discovering the Purpose of achieving "Impossible Possibilities"by using the thing that segregated him as a beacon of hope leading millions to realize what dreams may come. Pick up his new Book, "TSA... The Secret to Having Things." One day, God had need of his peculiar uniqueness and began to teach him how to overcome insurmountable odds, by understanding the power and force that God placed inside of him. That he wasn't what others defined him as. After tapping into this innate power to attract, to heal and to create, Pastor Dan experienced so much favor and blessing throughout his life but had to learn the tough lessons before his innate difference could lead millions to see and achieve Impossible Possibilities
|
that lay, deeply suppressed beneath a pile of pain, rejection, abuse, confusion and lies. Though he embraced his Greatness at an early age, (getting saved in nineteen-seventy-nine, accepted his call to ministry in nineteen-eighty-two and ordained in nineteen-eighty-five) he understood his unique connection to "Faith", supernatural healing, deliverance and miraculous manifestation and though God took him on a "Faith" journey of expository enlightenment, it was not until 2016, that Pastor Dan embraced the supernatural call upon his life to lead a spiritual revolution of awareness. God has set him apart for a time such as this, to awaken the body of Christ with an untraditional, unorthodox, pragmatic and organic approach to Faith.
God birth a whole ministry out of the common experiences many face and encounter in life because of status quo. Because of what society and people say about them. Because others want to define and attach labels to them. Well that's not who you are. God has anointed Pastor Dan to awaken the sleeping GIANT of GREATNESS, so long recessed in the dark alleys of people's mind. God has given an amazing curriculum of instruction that will change the lives of millions by realizing how to live a life of Purpose by tapping into the very same power and force that Pastor Dan discovered in his youth. God has placed inside every human being that same innate measure of Greatness... once enlightened will expose people to an endless life of possibilities.
