The Visionary
Pastor MO
Pastor Mo firmly believes that our primary purpose in life is to help others. His personal motto is that, "We need each other to survive." Pastor Mo was born and raised in Detroit, MI and grew up in a very rough environment. Throughout his life, he escaped through football. As an All-State football player and graduate of St. Martin Deporres High School, football player at Indiana University and Alabama State, football coach at Urbana & Tiffin Universities, Atlanta Falcons' Equipment Assistant Intern, and football referee, football played an integral part in every phase of Marlin’s life. Here it is again helping him to advance the Kingdom of God here on earth.
In his 36 years of life, God blessed Pastor Mo with some awesome experiences and opportunities which resulted in major accomplishments. While all are definitely important to him, his most important accomplishments are being a husband, father, and Christian. Pastor Mo is married to his beautiful wife, Lady K and they have two beautiful daughters: KaNiyah and Kennedy. In April 2007, Pastor Mo accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and was baptized at New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church (Detroit, MI), under the leadership of Pastor Wilma Roberta Johnson. Pastor Mo accepted his call into the ministry in May 2011 at Ambassadors for Christ Christian Center (Lithonia, GA), under the leadership of Pastor Priscilla S. Moody. He also earned his license and ordination from Ambassadors for Christ Christian Center. Pastor Mo’s favorite scripture is John 15:13.

The mission of the Kingdom Huddle Ministry is to provide spiritual guidance, based on the gospel of Jesus Christ, so that members can execute the play that God has called for their lives. Teachings in the huddle are presented in practical ways so that members can immediately apply lessons learned to their daily life. The huddle focuses on the full person (i.e. body, mind, and spirit) and is a safe space where all are welcome to share and dialogue. The goal of the Huddle is for those involved to reflect on the play that God has called for their life, and act to positively transform themselves and their surroundings.
