Pastor James grew up in the church and was baptized at the age of 18yrs. However during the period 1985 – 1992, he entered into a backslidden state: drinking and partying as a result of bad association. However, he eventually came to his senses and returned to God. He started worshipping at the Kew Wesleyan Holiness Church, now called Mount of Praise Wesleyan before joining Tower of Power International Ministries in 2001. In 2002 he was made a deacon and in 2004 he gained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology from Harvesters’ Christian University.
In 2009, he resigned from Tower of Power International Ministries and joined Power & Glory International Ministries. That same year he was set apart as an elder. In 2010, he was ordained as a pastor and in 2013 he was appointed as the senior pastor. He resigned from Power & Glory International Ministries in July 2014 and later that month, together with his wife, birthed the Branch Deliverance Ministries where he is the senior pastor. Together they share 4 beautiful children, namely: Stacey, Kimberly, Mary and Matthew.
He is also an ex-military captain with 14 yrs of service.During his tenure in the BDF he pursued studies in Navigation and Ship Handling in USA, UK and Canada to gain qualification as a ship’s master.
