Long story short:
Pastor David Higginbotham was born into a Christian home and raised as a pastor’s son. Nonetheless, this didn’t stop him from turning to alcohol and drugs hoping to fill up the emptiness he felt inside.

Pastor David eventually straightened up his life, however, his faith was challenged only after marrying his wife, Evelyn. She developed a rare eye disease, which led them to search for God in a journey that led him to be called into the ministry in 1987 and to finally find healing for his wife.

He has been serving God since his calling in 1987 in many places including South Africa, the Philippines, London, and now in Houston, Texas. He and Evelyn have been married for 28 years and have two sons, Todd, 23, and Mark, 13.

Evelyn Higginbotham

Long story short:
Evelyn married David Higginbotham in 1983, but was diagnosed with a rare eye disease only two weeks after their honeymoon. Within four years, she became legally blind, and her only hope was to have a cornea transplant- a risky procedure they couldn’t afford.

In 1986, theye found SiLC, where she learned how to fight against her problem. Even though she had been raised as a missionary’s daughter, she had always been taught that some people were just chosen to suffer, but at SiLC, she was challenged to use her faith, which brought her healing.

In 1987, her husband was called to become a pastor, and they've been serving God around the world ever since. They've been married for 28 years and have two sons, Todd, 23, and Mark, 13.

Pastor Luke Castro

Long story short:
Grew up in a home where alcohol and verbal abuse was the norm. As a result, frustration and anger started building up inside of him, leading him to develop a rebellious attitude towards his parents.

As a teen, he began seeking to escape his problems by spending much of his time away from home drinking in nightclubs.

At the age of 19, his mom took him to the SiLC where he was able to let go of the anger and hatred he had inside of him. Within months he was transformed into a new man and in 1999, he was called to the ministry. He is now serving God with his wife in Houston, Texas as the leader of the Youth Power Group.
