One of the premier voices that is being raised up to proclaim God's infallible Word, is that of Evangelist Robert Madu II. Robert felt the call of God on his life to minister at the age of thirteen. After which, the Lord began using him strategically in his local Church, specifically in the area of drama. In 2001 Robert was awarded first place in the nation during a National Fine Arts Drama Solo Competition. Upon winning this award, he was blessed by the Lord to receive a full year tuition scholarship to Southwestern Assemblies of God Bible University. 

It was at the age of seventeen that Robert strongly felt God calling him to preach the gospel. Since then God has opened up a plethora of opportunities for him to minister to several Churches, Youth Groups, and Schools across this nation through dynamic preaching and drama. Robert's ability to minister to people of all races, cultures, and generations has made him a commanding and captivating communicator.  

It is Robert's passion and desire to see all people, both young and old come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to see them become empowered to do all that God has called them to do.
