Originally from Escanaba, Michigan, he started evangelizing at the age of 21 and spent three years traveling across the United States and Canada, preaching revivals, camps, conferences, and other meetings. It was during this time that he met his wife Julie, from Somerset, Pennsylvania, and together they continued evangelizing for three more years.

 

In 2005, the McDonalds accepted the pastorate of First Pentecostal Church in Vandalia, Illinois, where they led the congregation with great success for a decade. During their tenure, the church experienced significant spiritual and numerical growth. In 2015, the McDonalds moved to Shelbyville, Indiana, where they currently pastor the historic First Church of Pentecost, founded in 1915 under the direction of Bishop G.T. Haywood and Christ Temple in Indianapolis. Under their leadership, the church has grown into a vibrant and diverse congregation.

 

In addition to pastoring, the McDonalds continue to travel extensively, preaching and ministering both nationally and internationally. They are blessed with four children, three sons, and a daughter. Additionally, Pastor McDonald is currently pursuing a master's degree in leadership through Wilson University.  His dedication to ministry, coupled with his ongoing pursuit of education, reflects his unwavering commitment to serving God and his community.
