I was stopped by grace. Now I get to spend the rest of my life helping other people Know Who They Are and Know When They Are Called To Be.
Pastor Richard A. Earvin
I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior on April 8, 2015. I didn’t grow up in a Christian household; my family had semi-Christian views, and we attended church occasionally with my parents when I was young. However, after my father passed away, things became very difficult. My mother and I experienced homelessness for about seven or eight years.
During a period when my mother was in rehabilitation housing, I lived with my aunt, who is an Evangelist. Living with her, I began reading the Bible, attending church, and praying. But as a young boy, I still did not truly know where I was going. When I moved back in with my mother, my relationship with God eventually faded.
At the time, my passion was music. I wanted to make it as an artist, chasing riches and fame. I surrounded myself with people who wanted the same things, and while it felt good for a moment, my soul was troubled. I knew I was on the wrong path, but I did not care. Eventually, we moved into our first place after eight years of homelessness. I changed schools, got into trouble, and was even arrested for something I did not do.
A turning point came at Belmont High School, where I met friends who also did music. We worked hard to graduate and decided to pursue music full-time afterward. But while we were chasing a man-made prize, God was chasing us. One day, during a conversation about God, we felt the Holy Spirit move among us. The next day, I saw a video that exposed how some music leads people into darkness. At the end of that video was a salvation prayer based on Romans 10:9. In that moment, I cried out for forgiveness. That night, I received a sign when my phone seemingly typed by itself: “I Make change.”
From that day on, I was a new person with a burning desire for the Word. I began to feel a calling.
I discovered Intentional House University through a mentor named Howard and studied under Dr. Pang. I received a clear vision based on Matthew 28 to make disciples and teach them to obey Christ’s commands. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Christian Education and Church Ministry in 2019.
Following a prophetic word and a clear call from the Lord, I moved by faith to Atlanta, Georgia, in June 2020. There, I served at C.H.R.I.S.T Global Ministries under Apostle Antony Reaves, who recognized the calling on my life. I was ordained as a Pastor on September 20, 2020, at the age of 25.
During my time in Georgia, I met my wife, Deja. We maintained a long-distance relationship while dating, and as we moved into the process of getting married, the Lord opened a door for me to relocate to Dover, Delaware, where Deja was raised. I moved to Delaware just days before our wedding to be close to her family as we prepared to build our life together. We were officially married in December 2021.
Since settling in Delaware, our family has grown; we were blessed with our son, Richard, in 2023, and our daughter, Harvest, in 2025. Today, at age 30, I serve as the Operations Pastor at Maranatha Life Changing Church. In this season, the Lord is using me as a System Architect for His Kingdom. I oversee church logistics, media, and various ministry teams to ensure that the vision of the house is executed with excellence.
Beyond the walls of the church, I am working on a book project titled Questions Teens Have, aimed at guiding the next generation toward biblical truth. Humanly speaking, the groundwork has been laid. I have committed all my resources and the rest of my life to the Lord’s work, building quality churches and fulfilling the Great Commission. My mission remains simple: Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
