Dr. Holloway believes that with God all things are possible and that there is nothing too

hard for God! One of his guiding philosophies is “what we call failures are actually

lessons which are purposed to teach us something new about ourselves…the challenge

then is to shake ourselves off, modify our strategy, then go out and be successful.” He is

the senior pastor and establishmentarian of Yeshua Christian Fellowship Church, a

Milwaukee-based ministry. He has been active in ministry since the age of 13 serving in

music, juvenile prison missions, youth and singles ministries. He was licensed as an

evangelist in November 1998, ordained an Elder in 2002, and his calling, labor, and

ministry work led him to affirmation as an Apostle in March 2009.

Often, he is asked how he has accomplished so much and he is not reluctant to tell people

that it’s because of the help of the Lord and with God’s favor. His current message to

those whom he works with can be found in a scripture taken from Proverbs 11:27, “he

that diligently seeketh good, procureth favor.” Beyond the image, Dr. Holloway wants

those he comes into contact with to be empowered, changed, and enlightened so they can

experience the best reality possible for themselves.
