Shakir Ministries- About

is the Founding Pastor of The Foundation of the World Church, he and his wife Danetria Shakir have two boys together; Joshua and Isaiah. Pastor Shakir accepted the ministerial call and has been teaching the word of God since January 2000. Beginning with the children's ministry at his local church, Pastor Shakir discovered the significance of explaining the Bible in a practical, simple way so that his audience can build a relationship with Jesus Christ. In January of 2001 Pastor Shakir decided to start a weekly home Bible Study for his family who had little to no interest in Christianity. One of the main objectives for the Bible Study was to give his family a strong foundation in Christian living by teaching them out of the Word of God. Surprising his family began to invite their friends, neighbors and co-workers. It was then that God gave him the vision of "The Foundation of the World" Pastor Shakir realized that most of the people attending were unchurched, rejected, misunderstood, people that just wanted real answers to their questions. Soon Pastor Shakir began visiting all types of rejected hurting people in Homeless Shelters, Hospitals, Youth Correction faculties, Prisons, etc. continuing to give them Solid Biblical teaching
