Igniting the Fire Ministries

Pastor D is a unique & fresh voice for this generation! As the youth/young adult pastor of the Agape 360 Uncensored Youth Ministry at Agape Christian Fellowship in Arlington, TX; under the profound leadership of Pastor Renee Hornbuckle, his mission is to accomplish one thing.... Help young people all over the world experience God! Pastor D born July 9 1980 as Donnell Walder III realized his calling at a very young age. Growing up he always had the ability to captivate an audience. Many said that God had blessed him with a silver tongue. His ability to arrest a room mixed with his inexplicable knowledge of God's word at such a young age led many to believe that he was called to preach. Like most people when Pastor D recognized his giftings he used them for his own selfish desire that was until God allowed his sins to overtake him. During this time in Pastor D’s life trouble seemed to haunt him at every turn; so much so that he contemplated walking away from his belief in God and even committing suicide, which he attempted several times. In spite of all this negativity in his life he was still able to effectively encourage others while secretly dying. In 1998 God saw fit to give him another chance as he served in the Potter’s House youth ministry. There he grew in God and was trained in the excellence of ministry.  Pastor D now travels from church to church with one mission; to set young people on fire for Jesus! Period! His unorthodox style of preaching has impacted the lives of thousands of young people all over the world, his raw, uncensored, untraditional style has makes him a repeated invite for many of the ministries he's visited. The youth are drawn to his teachings of healing, deliverance, and his ability to help them experience God in away they have never felt before. Pastor D now lives in Dallas, TX and is married to one of the finest women on the planet who gave him the most beautiful son on the planet as he so anxiously announces at any of his engagements. When asked about his ministry you are sure to here him say this, “I didn't make this up but I live by these words and they are, "I set myself on fire and others come to watch me burn!!!!”,– “Catch Me in the Spirit!”
