"passionate about seeing God's people reach their full potential."
- Dr. Pat Clarke
I am a native of Kingston, Jamaica. I was commissioned to forsake my comfortable lifestyle and relocate to a small town in Florida as an unconventional missionary. Prior to leaving my lovely country, I studied Institutional Management at the College of Arts, Science and Technology (CAST), now University of Technology in Kingston, Jamaica. I also graduated as Valedictorian of my class at the Jamaica Open Bible Institute. It is interesting to note that initially I did not attend Bible school in order to enter the ministry. I simply had an unquenchable thirst for The Word of God. As I studied the Word of God, it literally changed my life. Others around me began to notice the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in my life, before I knew there were gifts of the Spirit. While in Bible school, I also discovered that I had an anointing teaching the Word of God. Like Elisha I was captivated by the love and power of the Anointing—the burden removing, yoke destroying power of God. Like Paul I wanted to apprehend that which had apprehended me.
I have taught at three Bible Colleges, carrying out my assignment of evangelizing the lost, equipping the saints and educating leaders for the great end time harvest of souls. I have been privileged to work with leaders who have both challenged and encouraged me to be all that God has called me to be. I have recently planted, and pastor Faith Connection International Church, located in St. Petersburg, Florida. I have been married to Las Clarke for thirty-five years, and together, we have four children and eight grandchildren. During my leisure time (which is few and far between) I like to cook and entertain friends and family, I have authored “The Clarke Family Favorite Easy Jamaican Recipes” cookbook that is teeming with authentic Jamaican recipes. Additionally, I enjoy reading motivational books, Bible Commentaries, and visiting family and friends world-wide.
"I suffered from a severe physical illness that made it impossible for me to function normally"
My name is Danny.
I first met Reverend Clarke in November of 2004.
I suffered from a severe physical illness that made it impossible for me to function normally. I would go out to mow the lawn, work for 5 minutes and then quit from exhaustion. Any physical exertion would make me sick. My father had open heart surgery to repair a defective valve, so I thought I had problems with my heart. I went to numerous doctors and all found no trace of heart disease. My mother at one point suffered from depression, I told the doctor about it and he prescribed anti-depressants. My disability was affecting my family and I was at a point where I wanted to end my life but then God had other plans for me.
