From Tech Executive To Pastor

Touré Roberts transitioned from building data centers to ministry after a spiritual awakening during a marriage crisis at 26.
Ministry emerged organically as his personal change began to impact others and led to a divine calling through repeated dreams.

The Dream That Defined His Calling

Touré described a vivid dream where his daughter could fly and he urged her to use her wings to escape danger.
He interprets the dream as his gift: seeing others' potential (their 'wings') and helping them rise.

At 16 Touré was shot in a drive-by and nearly died when a bullet ruptured his esophagus.
He credits a supernatural recovery and that trauma as formative in developing his intuition and perspective.
