Charles E. Young, Sr. was born in Highland Park, Michigan. He is the fourth oldest son of eleven children. At the age of 12, he experienced the weather phenomena of it raining on one side of the street while the sun shone on the side where he stood. This opened his eyes to the reality of God, although it would be six more years before he'd surrender his life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Charles survived the 67" Riots in Detroit and later joined the US Navy in 1972. He proudly served his country during the Vietnam War and was discharged in 1974. He answered the call to ministry a few years later in 1979 and has served God's people ever since.Charles continues to seek new ways to equip the people of God with the tools they need to live victoriously and advance the Kingdom of God.
