Dr. Deland J. Coleman (John) is declaring the Word of the Lord in a time in which he has labeled “the changing of the guards.” He was called by God at the age of 17 and was licensed and ordained at the age of 19 under the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, (P.A.W.). Dr. John has:

● an AA Degree in Business Management from Phillips College,

● a Bachelor of Arts in Ministry with an Emphasis on Biblical Studies,

● a Master of Arts in Christian Education,

● and a Doctor of Philosophy in Ministry from Midwest Christian College & Seminary.

Dr. John has a mandate to bring a realization to the body of Christ that it is God’s desire for His people to establish a relationship with Him instead of a “religion-ship.” He is playing a pivotal part in reaching this generation and equipping them to activate the gifts within them. A cloud of testimonies including financial and healing miracles have manifested as a result of his ministry.

He has authored six books:

One point that he emphasizes in one of his books is:

“There are two types of people that come in your life: those that inspire you and those that expire you.”

Dr. John has previously served in the insurance industry for more than a decade as an insurance agent for both national and international insurance companies.

Their efforts with global partners have created opportunities to bring aid to people as far as the Philippines, Haiti, Bulgaria, South Africa, Croatia, Peru, Uganda, the Bahamas, Texas and throughout the Chicagoland area.

This local body of believers is a non-denominational assembly in which he co-founded with his wife and where he is the apostolic overseer. Their vision for this church which has made an impact in the inner city of Chicago and the South suburbs, is to “Empower God’s People for Kingdom Living and Kingdom Advancement in the Earth.”
