Evangelist. Teacher.
In the over 17 years of ministry, God has used Pastor Arnold to win thousands of souls to Jesus Christ. As Pastor of Overcoming Believers Church, there has not been one Sunday where someone did not come up to the altar to give their lives to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. His preaching ministry is sought out globally, but he has a special love and passion to serve in Kenya and Nigeria, Africa. Committed to Reaching Out Around the Rest (ROAR), Pastor Arnold travels to spread the love of God in Africa and other areas throughout the world every opportunity he gets.
Leader. Influencer.
