God has graciously granted Bernard King over thirty years of ministry experience. In 1981, at Syracuse University, Bernard surrendered his life to the Lord Jesus Christ and received His gift of salvation and the forgiveness of sins.

He purposes to promote Jesus Christ as the most prominent presence and person in his life. For Gods glory! Bernard and his wife Gloria have been married for twenty-five years. They reside in Palm Beach, Florida.
