Pastor Randle, daughter of the late Albert and Minnie Davis, is a native of Winnfield, Louisiana. She has two wonderful sons, Donald Dewayne and John Eric, and two grandchildren (Katlyn & Donovan).  After receiving a four year scholarship from Grambling State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science, she moved to Houston, Texas and joined the Morning Star Full Gospel Church under the leadership of then pastor Bishop Larry D. Leonard, Sr. An example of the unique gift of faithfulness God has given her would be her employment at Southwestern Bell for the pass 24 years!

 

Pastor Randle received and accepted her call to ministry in 1985 and was licensed in 1987 by Bishop Leonard.  Transitioning from the leadership of Bishop Leonard to Bishop Ed. Johnson in 1999, she was ordained in May of 2000 and has been serving as Assistant Pastor at Christ Worship Center faithfully.  She walks in the office of the Prophet and has been given the charge by God to help perfect and groom leaders in the Body of Christ. She has a passion to repair broken ministry & church relationships; bridge, link and connect the Body of Christ to the oneness & image God is looking for; and help end church segregation.  She is often sought out as the main speaker for Women Conferences and known for her energetic, comical, yet serious and yoke destroying delivery of the pure gospel.  Birthed from her many life experiences and challenges, her personal ministry “Metamorphosis” came forth.  It’s a ministry of transformation—transforming lives from the inside out.  She attributes her life and all it has been and will be to the loving, guiding hands of God her creator.

Pastor Aaron Robertson was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan.  At the age of 21 he left Detroit to serve his country in the US ARMY.  While assigned to the 115th Field Hospital at Ft. Polk, Louisiana he met his wife. To this union God has blessed them with a son, Aaron Jr. (AJ) and a daughter, Hannah. After completing his enlistment agreement, he set out to pursue a career in the Funeral Industry. This pursuit led him to Houston, Texas, where he attended the Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Service. Pastor Robertson graduated with high honors and received his A.A.S. degree in Funeral Directing and Embalming. He is presently employed by the government and serves the community as a letter carrier here in the city.

 

At a very early age, Pastor Robertson developed a curiosity towards God which has now matured into a deep passion by watching his parents. Around the age of 4, he recalls sneaking out of his bed at night to peek around the corner to see a group of young people praying, crying, praising, and worshipping God in the living room of his childhood home under the leadership of his father. His father served his local church as the chairman of the young people. Then as a young teenager, when his mother would spend the night at the church on Wednesdays, at all night prayer meetings with the chief intercessors, he always wanted to stay and pray; though he would fall asleep while the women travailed, just being in that environment caused a great seed to be deposited in him. His total childhood experience has caused him to receive a deep love for ministry with an insight that goes far beyond his years.

 

Pastor Robertson received his license in 2006 and presently serves at Christ Worship Center. He is committed to seeing the body strengthened and built up until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the fullness of Christ. (Ephesians 4:13)
