William A. Lee, Jr.

William A. Lee, Jr. has attended the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he has done work toward his Masters of Divinity degree as well as the Church of God School of Theology. He is a 1985 graduate of Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee where he received his Bachelors of Science in Biblical Education with an emphasis in Pastoral Studies.

Rev. Lee is presently serving the Kingdom of god as an Evangelist. He has served as Pastor of Heritage Worship Centre, New Testament Church of God in Hamilton, Bermuda from 2003-2006. During his tenure at Heritage Worship, he was instrumental in implementing financial programs that made a significant reduction in the mortgage, leadership programs that resulted in leaders maximizing their potential, and community outreach initiatives that resulted in Heritage Worship Centre becoming a beacon of hope in Bermuda. He has also served as National Evangelist in the Church of God appointed in January 1995. He has traveled extensively throughout the United States and abroad preaching in conventions, camp-meetings, and conferences. He has ministered in chapel services for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League at Lee University, Church of God School of Theology, the University of Connecticut, and Brown University.

He has also been featured in conventions such as The Spiritual Life Conference in Garmisch, Germany, the 1997 -98 Men's Life Builders Conferences in Nashville, Tennessee, the Kerala National Church of God Convention in Kumbanad, India, the Church of God General Assembly held at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio ,Texas in 1998, Bethsaida Full Gospel Church in South Africa, revival meetings at Without Walls International Church with Pastors Randy and Paula White and "Prime Time Tuesday" hosted by Deione Sanders of the National Football League. As a trailblazer and innovative thinker, Rev. Lee has had a tremendous impact upon the Church of God denomination. He has the distinction of being the first person of color to be featured as the evening Evangelist in many State Camp Meetings throughout the denomination as well as the Lee University Convocation and is the youngest person of color to address the Church of God General Assembly. It was Rev. Lee's 2000 proposal that the denomination used as a springboard to make the title Bishop an official office in the Church of God. He has also committed himself to the ministry of mentoring, developing and instructing young ministers particularly in the ministry of preaching. He has served as an Academic and Career Counselor at Community College of Rhode Island from 1992-95, Associate Chaplain for Brown University 1993-95, and Pastor of Beacon Avenue Church of God 1990 -95. In 1998, Rev. Lee found "Lee Ministries International Incorporated". He and his lovely wife Sheila currently resides in Cleveland, Tennessee.

P.I. Abraham

P.I. Abraham better known as Kanam Achen, is a former Orthodox Church Priest who came to know the Lord over 25 years ago. Since then his focus has been to spread the love of Christ through evangelism. This is his most recent trip to the United States in over 10 years and has been ministering extensively throughout the United States, including at the 27th PCNAK conference in Chicago, and the 14th NACOG conference in Philadelphia in August.

Lighthouse

Lighthouse is comprised of familiar faces. A group of 6 musicians, most of whom have grown up within PYFA. This is probably where the band member similarities end. No two members attend the same church, none have the same hairstyles, and none of them know of any meal not involving both chicken and rice. But the band thrives on the matters that unite them. Individually, their worship experiences have shaped whatever they bring to the table. What you hear from Lighthouse on their EP or the stage is a message that makes them the band they are today. A message of service and love towards God and those around them that hopefully manifests beyond the vinyl and the spotlights. Welcome to the Band is an invitation to every person that hears it to join in what it means for them to be in a "band". Music is nothing more than a sound until the noise settles and then all that's left is the message. They invite you to join in their message, beyond the music; in the service itself.
