Fredrick Kearney
I was born on July 28th, 1962, the youngest of eleven children to Mr. & Mrs. Charles Kearney, in Los Angeles, California. I received Christ as my personal savior at the age of 7 and was baptized. At the age of 11, I made sure of my salvation. At the age of seventeen, God called me to preach. During one of my personal times with the Lord, I clearly recall, the sense and confirmation by the scripture Isaiah 61:1 “ The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord God hath anointed me to preach the good tiding unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”. From that time, I preached at youth meetings and served as school chaplin at Perris Union High School in California. I also served on the evangelism team in my local church while attending school. On August 26th, 1979, I was licensed as a preacher at First Baptist Church of Perris, California. On January of 1993, the Lord brought me the second greatest gift to my Salvation, my wife, Antoinette Kearney. We got married on August 15th, 1993. We’ ve been blessed with 21 wonderful years of marriage and four children. Fredrick,18; Stephen,15; Michael,13 and Mary-Elisabeth, 10. In the last four and a half years, I’ve served the Lord in the capacity of Sunday School teacher, superintendent, soul winning and visitation minister, song leader, nursing home minister and preacher of children’s church at Faith Independent Baptist Church. About two years ago, the Lord laid it on my heart to surrender my life to the mission field in Ghana, West Africa as a church planter and a medical missionary. I'm presently enrolled in a correspondence program to acquire a masters degree in divinity at Bethany Bible College, in Dothan, Alabama
