DEACON

Dcn. Timothy Ijeh was born in Nigeria and from an early age sensed a clear call to ordained ministry. As a young boy, he experienced a recurring dream of serving at the altar in an alb, administering Holy Communion, a vision that continued into adulthood and shaped his vocational discernment. He spent many years serving within the Church & interdenominational prayer ministries, where his prophetic gifting was recognized in 1994. After relocating to the United States, he continued in faithful service as a prayer leader within the Church for several years. He was ordained in 2011 and  subsequently  founded Freedom Heights Ministries in response to a vision he discerned through prayer. Timothy holds a degree in Religion, with a cognate in Biblical and Theological Studies from Liberty University, and is a Deacon and member of Good Samaritan Anglican Church in Buford, Georgia. He is married to Efe and has four children.
