Word of Faith Christian Center - Hattiesburg

Ministry Description

Word of Faith-Hattiesburg began January 12, 1997, with ten members, half of which were children, and now has a membership of more than 600 people and is continuing to grow daily.  In 1993, Dr. and Mrs. Burt, led by the Holy Ghost, moved to Hattiesburg, Mississippi to begin their medical practice. Over the next two years, their medical practice, which was their ministry, grew and became very successful.  In 1996 he accepted the call to the fivefold ministry as a Teacher. The Lord spoke to him clearly from Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Impartation of revelation knowledge to the Body of Christ would be his primary calling. Over the next year, Dr. Burt would serve on the ministerial staff under the leadership of Pastor Kevin E. Wright of Word of Faith-Jackson. This was familiar ground since Dr. Burt had been a member of Word of Faith-Detroit since 1988 under Bishop Keith A. Butler. While serving faithfully under Pastor Wright, God spoke to Dr. Burt and gave him a mandate to open up Word of Faith-Hattiesburg.
