Kingdom of Priest Holy Nation exists to proclaim the Kingdom of God through the teaching of Holy Scripture, to exalt Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus Christ) as the Messiah, and to equip believers to grow in faith, obedience, and Kingdom living.
We are committed to helping people rediscover the biblical foundations of the Kingdom of God through Scripture, prayer, discipleship, fellowship, and practical service. Our desire is to encourage believers to walk faithfully with Yahuah (LORD) through Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus Christ) and to live as citizens of His Kingdom.
Who We Are
Kingdom of Priest Holy Nation is centered on helping believers understand their identity in Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus Christ) as part of a “royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9) and grow in a deeper walk with Yahuah (LORD) through Scripture, prayer, and a greater awareness of His presence.
We focus on:
- Strengthening believers in their daily relationship with Yahuah.
- Teaching biblical foundations that lead to spiritual maturity.
- Encouraging a life of holiness, obedience, and Kingdom purpose.
- Helping believers move beyond simply attending church to actively walking in their calling as citizens of the Kingdom of God.

A Calling Rooted in Scripture
When I was about eighteen or nineteen years old, I was praying when the Ruach Ha’Qodesh (Holy Spirit) brought Acts 26:16–18 to me. The words of this passage became deeply significant to my understanding of the calling to serve Yahuah (LORD) and bear witness to His truth.
The passage speaks of being made a minister and a witness, opening eyes, turning people from darkness to light, and helping them receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith.
Although I received this Scripture in my youth, my ordination did not come until I was forty-seven years old. During the years between, I read the Bible from cover to cover several times and studied other sacred writings and religious traditions, including the Qur’an, the Zohar, and writings associated with Hindu, Buddhist, and African spiritual traditions. My years of reading and study formed an important part of my personal journey and my pursuit of understanding.
When I was ordained at forty-seven, I understood that moment in light of the Scripture I had received many years earlier. The passage from Acts remained central to how I understood my calling to serve and bear witness.
Today, through Kingdom of Priest Holy Nation, my desire is to proclaim the Kingdom of God, teach the foundations of Holy Scripture, and encourage believers to grow in faith, obedience, holiness, and their identity as citizens of His Kingdom.
My prayer is that this ministry will point people toward Yahuah (LORD) through Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus Christ), encouraging them to walk in the light of truth and understand the inheritance promised through faith.
Calling Scripture: Acts 26:16–18 (KJV)
[16]But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; [17]Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, [18]To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
