SPIRITUAL PILGRIMAGE

Solid written and verbal communicator. I’m a native of Washington, D.C. and the only child of the late Joseph A Chase, Sr. and Elva Mae Chase. My education began at St. Joseph’ Military Academy in Delaware and graduated from Virginia Union University, and Smith Bible College. I received a Master’s in Ministry from Richmond Virginia Seminary and a Doctorate Degree in Theology from Norfolk Seminary. Always a lifelong learner therefore, I am currently pursuing a Doctorate Degree in Ministry from Virginia University of Lynchburg. Licensed to ministry by Second New Saint Paul Baptist Church. I retired after 20 years of military service in the United States Navy. Through various ministry opportunities, college experience, and seminary education I have been able to clarify the focus of my calling. I am convinced that God has given me the desire and gifts to serve Him through discipleship ministries. I am committed to help others experience His love, by nurturing their spiritual development, enabling them to discover their spiritual gifts, and equipping them for effective ministry. I'm serious about my commitment I must admit that, “Every time I turn around, God is blessing me!” which is evident through my anointing and Christian journey of spreading the gospel and turning the world upside down. My ministry is best known for its powerful deliverance.
