About the Author
With the fundamental belief that God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things, Pastor Kevin Wayne Johnson lives to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. His passion is reflected through his national best-selling book series (Give God the Glory!), that earned 17 literary awards from 2001 to 2012, all published through his Christian-based publishing company – Writing for the Lord Ministries, as a former radio and television host, and in several leadership positions within the local church, the Christian publishing industry, and the National Association of the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana).
A native of Richmond, Virginia, Johnson was introduced to the Bible and the Christian doctrine as a child and active member of Ebenezer Baptist Church. At the age of eight, his maternal grandmother (Granny), a devout Seventh Day Adventist, prophesied that he would preach the gospel in due season. From these planted seeds, Johnson, alongside his wife, Gail, confessed Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior on May 2, 1993. This spiritual transformation occurred slightly less than two months after their marriage on March 6, 1993.
An active member of the Purpose Management Team and Pastor of Discipleship at Celebration Church, Columbia, Maryland, Pastor Johnson oversees the following ministries: Prayer, prison (men and women), Christian education (Bible Institute), Christian guidance, and the Good 4 U Health and Wellness. He also serves as Secretary, National Association of the Church of God Men’s Ministry (2009 to present). Johnson was initially ordained into the Christian ministry as a deacon while at Shiloh Pentecostal Church, Incorporated, Christian Love Center, Somerville, New Jersey, with his wife, in 2000. He is an Evangelical Training Association (ETA) certified instructor (2000 to present).
Johnson is a professional in government as well as private industry. For 27 years, he has performed successfully in numerous middle and senior-level positions in the areas of workforce development, training, organizational change, acquisition/procurement, customer service, client relationships, and program management, to include the Department of Defense, Department of the Treasury, the Government of the District of Columbia, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, Department of the Army, Defense Logistics Agency, and in the private sector at Vivendi Universal and Reuters America. He has testified before the United States House of Representatives Committee on Small Business, and has prepared testimony that was presented before the District of Columbia Committee on Government Operations. Johnson is a graduate of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Graduate School’s Executive Potential Program (1996). During this program, he assisted the Office of Federal Procurement Policy with several procurement reform initiatives that were tied to the National Performance Review under the Clinton Administration. In 1999, he was awarded the distinction of “Fellow” by the National Contract Management Association Board of Directors.
Johnson maintains an active involvement in community service and retains membership in several professional and civic organizations to include Virginia Commonwealth University Alumni Association and African-American Alumni Council, serving on the School of Business Board of Directors from 1994 to 1996, the African-American Federal Executives Association, the Christian Small Publishers Association, and the Autism Society of America, Howard County, Maryland Chapter.
Pastor Johnson is the eldest son of Ernest and the late Adele Johnson. He attended and graduated from the Richmond Public School system and Virginia Commonwealth University earning a B.S. degree in Business Administration and Management/Economics/Finance. He also completed course work towards a MBA degree at Marymount University and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. In 2002, Johnson graduated from the True Disciple Ministries Bible Institute, Somerville, New Jersey, earning three Church Ministries Certifications through ETA, Wheaton, Illinois. Johnson lives in Clarksville, Maryland, with his wife and three teenaged sons, Kevin, Christopher, and Cameron.
What People are Saying About This
FORWARD
These are troubling times for the family, but thank God for the faithfulness of His Word and His promise in Luke 1:17, which states, “And he (John the Baptist) will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous-to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Deacon Kevin Wayne Johnson is one of the faithful men being used of God to sound a distinct call for men, fathers, and families to focus their attention on the dire needs of their families.
The enemy, the adversary of God, Satan has been successful in many instances with millions upon of millions of men the world over, but especially here in our country and our communities, turning the hearts of men away from their children, their wives and their churches. And in turn have turned them to focusing on their own, what many are thinking is a hopeless condition. Deacon Johnson has very skillfully pointed men and women, boys and girls to the One who is the true source for healing and deliverance in our land in this book.
Sad to say there are too many homes headed by single female parents, thus creating a huge “father-hunger” in our culture. Hence, there is an intense need to see God disclose Himself as “Abba” Father. Many fathers are unable to relate properly to their families because they have never had the model of their own father acted out properly before them. There are hurting, aching and struggling men, fathers with their own children and wives because of the bitterness they have from their early days of absent fathers. The role of father and mother has been beautifully presented in this book as God’s plan has been laid out in His Word, the Bible. Kevin Wayne Johnson is teaching us clearly and deliberately to “Give God the Glory!”
This is not only a manual that is full of very insightful information for fathers and mothers, men, women and children, but can also be useful as a devotional guide. God is using Deacon Johnson powerfully as He used Elijah and John the Baptist, “to turn the hearts of the fathers to their Children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous- to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
