I was born the sixth of twelve children in Stovall, North Carolina, to Mr. Willie Perry and Mrs. Pauline Perry. In July of 1971, I moved to Newark, New Jersey, which became the training ground for the ministry God has given me. Then God led me back to North Carolina in November 1996 and I reunited with the church I was raised up in. I became senior teacher of the adult Sunday school class, and associate minister to the Pastor. Then ten years later, God directed me to step out of where I was and into the ministry He had given me. On June 14, 2004, I began Greater Works Ministry (GWM). Truly my greatest desire is to walk in purpose, give birth to destiny, and fulfill the will of God for me in life, that God be glorified!
