Min. Ed. Johnson

bishopedjohnson@aol.com

Born Edward Lee Johnson, Jr., Bishop Johnson is a native Houstonian. He is the son of Deacon Edward and Erma Johnson, Sr. He attended M. B. Smiley High School and Texas Southern University. Bishop (as he is affectionately called) is the husband of Evangelist Marilyn Johnson and proud father of Chas Braxton, Christal Joi and Edward Lee, III. His family life along with being the founder and Sr. Pastor of World Christian Church, Inc. keeps him quite busy.

Bishop Johnson is known for his wise council. Frequently, he is found in private consultations with members of the five-fold, instructing them on church protocol, vision development, and spiritually discerning their house and ministries. Bishop Johnson is extremely hard on leadership. He says, “We can’t afford to be cavalier in this matter seeing that God has entrusted the spiritual growth and development of His people to this select group.” Bishop Johnson preaches a disciplined word coupled with accountability. The message is not just for the sheep, but also for the leadership of the Body of Christ. Moving in the apostolic and prophetic offices, the Bishop is presently geared up for national and international crusades. He says he is doing this to empower the people of God and restore the paths to dwell in according to Isaiah 58:12.

Along with delivering the preached Word, Bishop Johnson is an accomplished musician. He has recorded eleven albums and produced numerous others. He has appeared on stage with Shirley Caesar, Vickie Winans, Yolanda Adams, Kim Burrell, Barbara Tucker, John P. Kee, Kirk Franklin and the list goes on. In the early 90’s, he formed a group [Ed Johnson & Praise] that attained prominence with the original recording of “Where Are The Christian?” That year at the Texas Gospel Music Awards they were nominated in three categories winning two, group of the year and song of the year. Bishop Johnson has recently formed a new singing-ministry, “Prophetic Praise.” A recording from this group is scheduled for release in late 2002 or early 2003. It will qualify the fact that the music-ministry of Bishop Johnson lives on.

The love that Bishop Johnson has for God is evident in the manner he handles God’s people. He is always seeking ways to establish the people of God in the service of God. The work of Bishop Johnson does not end there. He is an entrepreneur and soon-to-be published author. He is a husband, a father, a pastor, a businessman, a musician, a visionary and a man that loves and fears God.

Min. Marilyn Johnson

marilynjohnson61@aol.com

With the humility of a dove and the boldness of a lion she captivates the essence of all who come into her presence. Marilyn leaves an indelible mark on your heart as she preaches and teaches the word of God.

Her Christian walk began in 1981 as she served as Head Majorette for Prairie View A&M University. She told God that if he would save her that she would quit the squad and her boyfriend. God answered her prayer and she kept her word. Since that time Marilyn has cleaned church toilets, fed the homeless, done street evangelism, worked in children, youth, teen, radio, praise dance, music, finance, Sunday school, women and single’s ministry. Her success in ministry is attributed to submission to pastoral leadership and biblical training. She firmly believes that when you obey those that have rule over you, God will give you a Sarah blessing.

Preaching as a licensed minister for over fifteen years has allowed her to cross both racial and denominational lines. It is her joy to hear congregants say, “The Lord used that word to change my life”. She has literally seen hundreds come to Jesus Christ through the preached word.

Marilyn is the founder of Women Who Won't Wait (W4) Ministries where she empowers women to serve God proactively. W4 has a comprehensive program that meets the needs of all women.
