Bro. Pudge's late grandparents started a church in 1955 and genuinely believed (as does Bro. Pudge) that God’s house should be a “House of Prayer for all People”. Bro. Pudge was under their ministry all his life and was ordained at the age of 25, where he began to do the work of the Lord.

In addition, Bro. Pudge spent time in Zimbabwe, Africa doing missionary work, preaching, serving, and studying God's word intently, while visiting multiple churches that were built because of the ministry. He is thankful for their sacrifice and service unto the Lord and continues their legacy of preaching the gospel to the world.

Because He Lives – I Live is built upon the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are here to help shine the light of the glorious gospel unto a lost and hurting world.
