I was raised in church all of my life under the care and ministry of my parents Brent & Watha Grigg. At age 7, after seeing the life of ministry of my family, I found my self understanding what Jesus Christ had completed for me. As a 7 year old boy my father led me in the prayer that changed my life. Even though I was so young, through teaching of my parents, I came to a full knowledge of the love of God as well as the love to have for others. This love is one of the driving forces of my ministry. I have love for in helping people, seeing their lives work well. This love that my parents taught me about is still with me to this day in life and in ministry.

As I grew up I began to understand that being a Christian isn’t always easy. After I understood that; it was never easy. I went through what I call a “crisis of belief” in myself, in others, & in God. At the time of the most crucial decisions of my life the only one that I could turn to was the only one that I did not turn to. Nothing made sense anymore. I didn’t know what or who to believe in so I didn’t believe in anything. This led to chaos. That love that I was taught to have ceased to exist. No love for people or God. I knew the Bible, but didn’t live it. Being loved, but never returning it. Knowing the problem, but never fixing it. I ended up depressed, lost, and looking for something that I could only find in Jesus. After arguing and battling with God about who he wanted me to be, I finally gave up on my psychological war of controlling my conscience, convincing myself in the falsity of the Bible and God, and the distorted belief I had about myself. I had known what God had called me to do ever since I was a small child. Finally, I turned to the one that spoke the truth about who I am. He was the one that gave me my worth and self-respect back. He won the battle of my mind for me. He said things about me that I had called lies for years. I calmed this raging storm that was my mind like He did to the disciples. All it took was me realizing that in the belly of this ship was a “sleeping giant”. All I had to do was awaken this Jesus in my life that had been asleep for so long and he say “peace” to the crashing waves and wild winds of my mind and life. I realized that I could nothing on my own, but that it was the one who “was greater in me than he that is in the world”.

God has become my center and my focus – the constant of my life. I am 19 years old, and I am an ordained minister and a prophet of God. God has placed a majority of my burden for youth which seems to fit since I still am one. I and my fiancée, Sarah Brittney, minister together under the ministry and in the vision of Pastor Kellough. She has been given a phenomenal gift of healing and is one of the most faithful women I know – to God, ministry, and best of all faithful to me. Her love and concern for people override the barriers of race, creed, religion, and manmade differences. Her love for God is a testimony to all that she comes in contact with. Her steadfastness in God is what attracts so many people that have no stability in their lives. She loves God and serves him with all of her heart and life.

In summation, my prayer is 1John 3:16. That people will perceive the love of God by us laying down our lives to help them. I want to reach out in love to all because the “Spirit of the Lord is upon us because he hath anointed us to preach the gospel to the poor; to heal the broken hearted; to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord”. “But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?” We as Christians have been given the greatest gift. How can we being given such a wonderful gift not tell others of the thing which God has done for us? “Say not ye, There are yet four months and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” The time of harvest is now! The world needs our help. We have the answer that they need. We have to tell them that the answer is Jesus.
