Jermaine was born and raised in Palm Beach County, Florida. He grew up attending Greater Bethel Primitive Baptist Church where he received sound Biblical teaching and instruction under the leadership of the Late Pastor R.J. Hendley, Jr. It was under Pastor Hendley’s leadership that he accepted the call into ministry and became licensed by the National Primitive Baptist Church to minister the Gospel.
After graduating from Palm Beach Lakes Community High School, Jermaine relocated to Lakeland, Florida to pursue his dream of becoming an educator. While in Lakeland, he became a member of Abundant Believers Church (formerly New Life Deliverance) and a spiritual son to Dr. Gregory and the Late Prophetess Lisa Hawthorne, Senior Pastors. As spiritual parents, they recognized, affirmed, and validated the prophetic gift that rested upon him. Moreover, they were instrumental in cultivating the authenticity of his prophetic gift with him being licensed by G. L. Hawthorne Christian University (School of the Prophets).
After residing in Lakeland, Florida for more than 10 years, Jermaine relocated to Port Charlotte, Florida. Not long thereafter, he became a member of Champion’s Life International Church, under the spiritual leadership of Dr. Deondrick and Lady Kelli Douglas, Senior Pastors. While there, he was a committed and faithful member, having several opportunities extended to exercise his spiritual gifts and talents.
As a proven prophetic voice to the body of Christ, Jermaine is God anointed and appointed with a ministry that is characterized by keen insight and divine revelation. It is because of God’s favor that doors have opened and continue to open for him to minister at conferences, conventions, revivals, seminars, and various other church functions.
