About the Author
William T Hodge
William Hodge’s journey from Lansing, Michigan, to becoming a beacon of hope and restoration across the globe is a testament to the transformative power of faith and obedience. Born in 1963, William’s life was forever changed at nine years old when he encountered Jesus in a moment of dire need, promising him protection and purpose. This divine intervention set William on a lifelong mission to spread the message of salvation and healing.
Pursuing a childhood dream, William ventured to Florida at 18 to join the Manatee County Police Academy, embarking on a career in law enforcement that would lay the foundation for his leadership and service. His commitment to community and safety was recognized with accolades, including the NAACP Man of the Year award in 1985 and a similar honor from the local Sertoma Club.
William’s service extended beyond law enforcement; he was a cherished youth leader, Christian radio DJ, and sports coach, deeply involved in nurturing young lives. His return to Michigan marked a new chapter, where real estate and aquatics instruction were among his endeavors. However, his heart remained with those on the margins of society.
In 1997, William founded a simple yet profound street ministry known as the “prayer booth,” marking the beginning of his focused ministry work. By 1999, he was ordained as a pastor and established Good Tree Ministry, initiating a chaplaincy program that would grow to have a global impact.
William’s authorship of “Repairer of the Breach” and various chaplaincy manuals underscores his commitment to teaching and healing. His ministry has touched lives in the U.S., U.K., Africa, and Israel, reclaiming territories for God’s kingdom.
Recognized as an apostle, William is driven by a powerful mandate from the Holy Spirit to raise an army of believers, particularly those overlooked by society, nurturing them into forces of spiritual change. Today, as the president and founder of Great Commission United Chaplaincy and Discipleship Academy, he continues to lead by faith, impacting lives worldwide.
William Hodge’s life is a living testimony to the power of divine calling and the impact one individual can have when they surrender to a higher purpose.
