Evangelism is a Journey

Since praying and seeking God to be used as an evangelist, Leon acknowledged that God gave him a scripture - St. John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. This scripture confirmed that God had set him apart for the work of an evangelist. Evangelist Leon Alexander was officially ordained April 7, 2007 by Bishop Wayne Cropper, Sr. of Baltimore, Maryland and is shown receiving his certificate of ordination in the photo below.

A native of Elkton, Maryland Leon C. Alexander graduated from public school, received an Associate of Arts degree in Business Management, a Bachelors of Arts degree in Behavioral Science (Psychology) and a Masters degree in Education (School Counseling).

Leon was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ at a young age, and later in life became a member of an Apostolic Faith Church in Pocomoke City, Maryland where he was filled with the Holy Ghost in 1981. Leon married in 1982 a young Christian woman Linda D. (Cropper) Alexander (photo below) and two sons were born (1984 and 1986) from this union.

Leon was first appointed an acting deacon in 1984. While serving as deacon many challenging situations arose and have afforded a number of memorable experiences and testimonies in the faith. Leon at the piano with his wife sing at various nursing homes, both in Maryland and Delaware. He and his wife operated a food closet for several years out of their home for the needy. Later becoming stirred to grow the outreach ministry, which consisted of writing, distributing gospel tracts, literature and counseling with troubled youth in a boy's school, Leon sought God for further direction and leading by the Spirit which led him to to evangelism.
