Welcome to Light of the World Ministries International
Diverse Paths 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.
To see lives, families, and communities transformed by the Word of God.
We envision a world where people experience God’s grace, grow in faith, and share His love — impacting generations and nations for Christ.

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 Shepherd of Light of the World Ministries International
A former Special Operations Marine, Bishop Priester served his nation with distinction, playing a critical leadership role during the events of September 11th. His career included numerous special operations and personal protection assignments within the United States Government, where he demonstrated courage, discipline, and integrity.
Following his military service, Bishop Priester transitioned into the corporate sector, serving as a bank executive and Certified Treasury Manager with two major international banks. His professional journey continued as a partner at a New York–based law firm, specializing in commercial transactions and strategic business advisory.
Yet even amid worldly success, Bishop Priester’s heart remained anchored in his first calling — ministry. Having begun serving at just six years old, he carried a lifelong passion to know God deeply and make Him known to others. Eventually, he left his corporate post to fully devote himself to the work of the Kingdom of God.
Today, Bishop Priester combines his leadership experience, global perspective, and spiritual insight to equip believers, strengthen communities, and advance the message of God’s love and truth across the world. His ministry is marked by clarity in teaching, compassion in service, and a bold declaration of faith:
“Jesus is Lord!”
With humility and strength, Bishop Priester continues to lead Light of the World Ministries International as a spiritual father, visionary, and example of what it means to live by faith, walk in love, and lead with purpose.
A Message from Bishop Priester
