Eliezer Rivera

The vision of Eliezer Rivera Ministries is to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations not only by preaching the Good News of the resurrected Christ and planting churches, but also by training pastors and missionaries, producing training programs, equipping for service, and spiritual growth, dissemination of books and pamphlets, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, ministering to orphans and widows, and visiting those in prison; in short, by doing everything that is necessary to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the spoken word, the written word, and deeds.

Jeff Nordine

In 2007, Pastor Nordin relocated to Kansas City, Missouri, however, the dream of a mass choir still resonated within his heart. When he returned to Northern Virginia in July, 2010, Pastor Nordin realized that the desire to see a mass choir in Northern Virginia resonated stronger than ever. Sharing this passion with Senior Pastor, Bill Roberts, a prominent leader in the founding of the Prince William Ministerial Alliance, and a few close friends, Pastor Nordin was encouraged by their affirmations. When he met with Hylton Memorial Chapel’s Rev. Shelby Boldt this past Spring to discuss the concept of a mass choir, Rev. Nordin says, “I really felt the confirmation from her. She said that she and her staff had met around this topic, brainstorming about it”, he said. ” I believe that denominational walls can come down because we are the Body of Christ” says Pastor Nordin.

Michael Ofori

Michael Ofori was born in Kumasi, Ghana where he lived and graduated from High School. Michael moved to the Netherlands where he was born again and began serving God. A year after being born again, he joined his church choir and began singing to the glory of God. His hunger for God and passion for worship started growing so he joined the praise team. It's at this point that God moved Michael to become the Leader of the Praise Team.

God has given Michael the privilege of singing with, and writing for some of the famous gospel musicians in Ghana and in Europe. Michael sees ministry as a seed to the many great things the Lord has purposed to do with my life.

Ethiopian SHEBSHEBA Choir
