Although Darryl was raised in church, had a holy spirit anointed mother who was operating in the miraculous phase, and even serving in many roles as a child and young adult in the church, it wasn't until 1988 that he made Jesus Christ his personal Lord, Savior, and Master. During the next four years he grew in the Word, with the Holy Spirit bringing to life all the scriptures that he had read as a child and young adult. In 1992 this vessel of the Lord accepted his calling into the ministry as a Teacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Earlier that year Darryl met and married Elaine Martin. Elaine already had accepted the call of the Lord for her life and was very instrumental in getting Darryl out of his comfort zone. During this time Darryl and Elaine met Apostle Danny Thomas. At that point the Holy Spirit started dealing with Darryl greatly and he began to accept the ministry gift of the Apostle, Prophet, and Evangelist and he began to start ministering under the power and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. In 1993 he graduated from the University of Alabama with a bachelor's degree in Mathematical Statistics with a minor in Computer Science. His determination to excel in His walk with the Lord catapulted him a deeper relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit continued teaching him and in 1995 Darryl accepted the calling to the ministry gift of Pastor and started having Bible study in his home along with his wife, Elaine. In April 1998, Darryl and Elaine started and incorporated Abundant Life Tabernacle of Faith Church with assistance from T.D. Jakes Ministries of Dallas Texas. During the next four years the church became an interdenominational, multi-ethnic, multi-cultural establishment where people lives were being radically changed by the Word of God and the power of the Holy Ghost. At that time the church underwent a location and name change to The Tabernacle of Tuscaloosa. Pastor Darryl also began ministering to men through street ministry as well as Jail/Prison ministry. The Holy Spirit impressed upon Apostle to start ManTalk, a mobile ministry where he deals with controversial men issues and provide practical answers. The Lord has really used these avenues to deliver and bless many men lives. To the surprise of all the Lord called Pastor Darryl's wife, Elaine, to heaven in 2021. Even more surprising the Lord gave Pastor Darryl a new wife, Dr. Mireille Pierre-Louis, in 2022. The Lord has used this new marriage to make his servant whole and complete again so that he can continue to do the work of the Lord at a higher level than ever. The Lord has greatly anointed this man of God with apostolic order and prophetic utterance, and he is being sought by many for an end time revelation of what the Lord is saying and doing in the earth realm. Through the divine providence of God His servant has become a great motivational speaker and a wonderful encourager. Additionally, our Lord has commissioned Apostle Darryl to author three books which will soon be released and available from this website and everywhere books are sold. This powerful anointed vessel of the Lord has only begun in his quest to be all that the Lord has created him to be. The journey towards fulfilling his destiny continues...
