Pastor
Jeff Wright grew up in Kansas, where
from 1976-1978 he attended a local church Bible school
that was staffed by some of the first graduates of Kenneth
Hagin's Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
During this time, Fred Price, Jerry Savelle, and Kenneth
Hagin, Jr. all personally came and taught seminars at this
church.
From 1976-1981 Jeff worked in this local church as a
volunteer in a weekly jail ministry, in recording a daily
"Dial-a-Prayer" telephone message, in directing a
monthly men's prayer breakfast, in the church music
ministry, in construction labor to help build a 500-seat
church auditorium, in monthly tract distribution at an
approved location at a local hospital, in teaching Bible
College classes, and in substitute preaching for the
pastor. Also, from 1976-1981, Pastor Jeff worked
at a secular job full-time as a civil engineering
technician. (Reference: Evangelist Jeff Goss,
P.O. Box 328, High Ridge, MO 63049

In June 1981 Jeff was led supernaturally by God to
move to Ft. Worth, Texas for further preparation for
full-time ministry. Actually, he first sensed the leading
of God in 1979 to make this move, and after two
years of prayer this leading was even stronger than
at first. He counseled with his pastor, parents, and
friends before leaving.
From 1982-1983 Jeff attended a local church in the
Ft. Worth area that was pastored by another of the
first-year graduates of Kenneth Hagin's Rhema.
Once again Jeff was active as a volunteer in the
church music ministry, in construction labor for church
building projects, and in preparing and distributing
church advertising fliers door-to-door. Also, from
1981-1983 Jeff worked at a secular job full-time as a
city firefighter. (Reference: Pastor Ronnie Moore,
Word of Love Christian Center, 1860 Precinct Line Rd;
Hurst, TX 76054 phone: 817-485-5683.)
Jeff Wright had been actively praying for the
government for several years, but in March 1983 he first
sensed that God was leading him to start a church in the Washington, D. C. area specifically to encourage
believers to pray for the government. In order to avoid
setting up too close to an already-established church,
Jeff counseled with Washington, D. C. area pastors prior
to his move.
