Welcome to Light of the World Ministries International
The Path of Worship
Light of the World Ministries International is a non-denominational Christian church dedicated to teaching the uncompromised Word of God.
Our journey began with a small group of believers who decided to trust God completely — aligning every part of their lives with His Word. As they did, they began to experience The Blessing: joy, peace, health, freedom, and love. What God did in their lives, they wanted to share with others — and from that passion, this ministry was born.
Today, Light of the World Ministries International continues to serve as a beacon of faith, hope, and love — helping people grow spiritually, strengthen their families, and walk in victory through the Word of God.
To bring hope through love and reveal the life-changing power of God’s Word.
We are dedicated to teaching biblical truth with simplicity and accuracy — empowering people to live victoriously, walk in faith, and fulfill God’s purpose for their lives.

Our Pastor
A Servant Leader with a Heart for God’s People
Bishop Patrick Priester is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Light of the World Ministries International — a man whose life exemplifies faith, excellence, and unwavering dedication to God’s Kingdom.
The Senior Pastor of Light of the World Ministries International.
Bishop Terence Priester is a former Special Operations Marine who played a critical leadership role during the events of September 11th. Has numerous deployments counter terrorist operations and personal protection assignments .
A bold decisive leader Bishop Priester stood on the front lines between rioters and law enforcement during both the Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri unrest following the deaths of Freddie Gray and Michael Brown. His efforts were focused on restoring calm, fostering understanding, and helping communities move toward healing and reconciliation.
Following his military career, Bishop Priester transitioned into the corporate sector, serving as a bank executive and Certified Treasury Manager with two major international banks. His professional journey later led him to become a partner with a US based law firm, specializing in commercial transactions and strategic business advisory.
From a young age—beginning ministry service at just six years old—Bishop Priester’s life has been defined by a deep and enduring passion to know God and serve His people. Guided by that calling, he ultimately resigned from his corporate executive role to devote himself fully to the work of the Kingdom of God.
Today, Bishop Priester serves as Bishop and Chief Executive Officer of International Light Fellowship, a global ministry dedicated to training and teaching ministers the uncompromised Word of God, empowering believers through revelation knowledge, and demonstrating the love of Christ in action. He continues to merge his leadership experience, global insight, and unwavering faith to equip believers, strengthen communities, and advance the message of God’s love and truth throughout the world.
