Meet Our Pastors

Pastors Rennie and Fazida Ragbir

Pastors Rennie and Fazida Ragbir met in Trinidad before moving to the United States, where they pursued the call of ministry on their lives in Richmond Hill, NY. Their desire is to see the sick healed, the broken mended, and those in the bondage of sin and darkness set free from the powers of the enemy. They have two beautiful children and are dedicated and loving grandparents.

Pastor Rennie gave his life to the Lord on the 6th of January in 2002. From then, he knew that the Lord had called him to the office of a prophet for His honor and glory, a revelation which was also confirmed by his spiritual leadership. From that point he earnestly pursued the call of God on his life for the ministry of the Lord's people. Through many trials and testimonies, God equipped him to become a deliverance minister and ordained chaplain. On Thursday April 12th, 2012 the Holy Spirit gave him an open vision of the word "Hope."

"I asked the Lord, 'Why hope?' And the Lord said, 'The name of the ministry I am giving you is to be called Hope Evangelistic Center because there is a Hope for my people, and I want you to minister Hope to them and their families no matter what state they are in.'"

The Lord has called Prophet Rennie to pray and intercede not only for the congregants of his church but also for their families and loved ones. Hope Evangelistic Center is a family-oriented, community-oriented ministry where all can come to hear the preaching of truth, and gather in worship and service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
