Dr.Gerald Davis
Gerald began preaching at the age of 17 and pastored his first church
at age 20. His spiritual heritage began in 1905 at the Azusa Street Outpouring
in Los Angeles. His grandparents, on his mother's side, were baptized in
the Holy Ghost there. Both Gerald's parents, R.L. and Clara, were spirit-filled,
ordained ministers. There have been 22 ordained preachers in his family. Gerald
was surrounded by several men of great influence:
His uncle, F. D. Davis; Raymond T. Richie; A. A. Allen; Demos
Shakarian; Jack Coe; William Branham; Morris
Cerullo; T. L. Osborn; John Osteen and other great
generals for God. Several stayed in Gerald's home during
his adolescence.
Gerald married Thelma in 1954 and has two sons,
five grandchildren and three great grandchildren. His son,
Jerry is an evangelist and son Tommy is a Christian businessman.
After 20 years of pastoring with a daily radio
and television ministry, Gerald began his traveling ministry,
which has taken him around the world. It is often said that every traveling
minister should have experience in pastoral ministry. Gerald
Davis is such a man. His ministry, anointing, and compassion
reflect it.
The Lord has allowed Gerald to minister in
a great variety of settings, from huge open air crusades to ministering
to individuals one at a time - and almost everything else in
between. Gerald
has ministered for years in numerous nations including Russia,
Canada, Mexico, Nigeria, Kenya, India, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Costa
Rica, Haiti, and the Cayman Islands.
Gerald is committed to taking the Gospel to
this generation, domestic & foreign. Helping,
teaching, & training the local Pastors to make responsible
disciples for Jesus. He preaches in camp meetings, seminars,
pastor's conferences, and conventions - as well as local churches. Gerald
has four favorite themes:
How to walk in strong faith.
How to live the debt-free life.
How to have and maintain material
blessings.
Living in the glory of the Holy
Ghost.
Gerald has authored several books; some are
printed in four languages. He
has earned his Doctor of Divinity degree through Gulf Coast Seminary
in Panama City, Florida. Those close to him know him, affectionately,
as "Doc".
Some of his peers have dubbed him, "The Preacher that makes
the Bible come alive." An internationally renowned pastor
has called him "a Pastor At-Large," because of his obvious
concern for the local church.
Gerald's mandate from
God is, "Tell people how to get from now until dying time
walking in success."
