My name is Al J. McGilvery and I am a current student at Jakes Divinity School (JDS), where I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Theology. My interest in pursuing this opportunity is because I believe that in order to be of better help to someone, you must first help yourself. As far as my career goes I am a musician and minister who is seeking to better serve my surroundings concerning the knowledge I am obtaining. What inspired me to do this all is really hard to explain in a good way, but I will say I know the Lord has led me here to this table because I had other plans. Having said that, when I graduate I do plan to continue to spread the Gospel and encourage people to get spiritually literate here at JDS.
My name is Jeffery White, I am 34 years old and I live in Ponder, Texas with my wife of 10 years, Jamie and our 4 dogs. I currently attend school full time pursuing my bachelor’s degree in church leadership. I work in sales full time and work full time as the Director of Social Media at Friendship Church of Denton Texas. I enrolled in JDS in April of 2020 after watching Bishop Jakes sermon “Chain Breaker”. I am excited to be an ambassador for JDS to be able to talk to other people that may be interested in pursuing ministry and the opportunities JDS has to offer. This school has completely changed my life and I want to help others pursue their calling as well. I am looking forward to the leadership training and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
