Five Words Express Our Mission...

Your Purpose Matters!

BECOMING THE WORK OF HIS HANDS

We are NOT here to impress GOD, or others.  We are NOT here to be dazzled, by talent or techniques or tricks or personalities.  We are NOT here to measure ourselves. To make comparisons to make excuses to succumb to facility envy or GADGET LUST.  We are NOT here to create, recreate, rewrite, or reinvent the GOSPEL.  We are here to ECHO it.  We are here to SURRENDER our gifts to and our creativity to the CREATOR.  We are here to share are HEARTS our VISION, our LIVES and OUR creative callings.  We are here to GROW in KNOWLEDGE, GROW in WISDOM, GROW in PERSPECTIVE, and GROW in LOVE.  WE ARE HERE TO echo with our LIVES,  with our PASSION,  with our DREAMS, with the WORK OF OUR HANDS, because WE ARE THE WORK OF HIS HANDS.    WE ARE HERE TO ECHO! 

Become a Purpose of Change!

Our prayer is for you to experience the Unconditional Love of The Power Greater Than Self… The Power of All Grace, Goodness, and Greatness!

Drs. 
Gary and Canzada Twyman

Pastors Gary & Canzada Twyman, are a strong anointed couple jointly placed together by the Spirit of the Living God in April of 2006.  Both have agreed to walk together in unity, and in harmony, as instruments of His Glory… ‘Partners for Life’.  This compassionate and committed husband and wife team are True Servants of the Lord.  They are the proud parents and grandparents of two adult children and four grandchildren.  Both have a host of biological and spiritual siblings that continuously hovers them with love and support, and the Pastor’s firmly believe that they are gifts from God.  The couple has received their call into the office of Pastoral-ship and continues to thoroughly prepare themselves both spiritually and academically.  They both are in Love with the Lord and have made Him Lord of their lives.

Pastor Gary is the Chief Executive Officer and Pastor Canzada is the Founding Executive Director of the Divine Exchange Ministry, Inc.  God has gifted this couple with vision to move this ministry forward and to assist with the healing process to hurting people; youth, adults and families.  Pastors Gary and Canzada have received intense and profound exegetical biblical studies under Pastors Charles and Dottie Schmitt and are currently continuing their studies through the most profound teachings of Pastor Wendy Y Smith Martin, Senior Pastor of Greater Victory Christian Center in Riverdale, GA.

Being steadfast in their mission and understanding their purpose, the Twymans visualizes what is desired in relations to the community and the body of Christ, which is to embrace, edify, encourage, educate, and empower the least of these; keeping this God giving vision firmly in their mindsets.

Pastor Garys dictum is:  Trust in the Lord and He will direct your path!
