Brett Watson was born in Eldorado, IL on Feb. 12, 1971. Raised in a pastor's home he has a rich heritage. Being with his parent’s ministry as a child into his early adult years, he has seen and experienced God's divine presence the majority of his life. It was just a few months before his senior high-school graduation in 1989, that he found out about a serious illness that affected his Father's life. On August 16, 1990 his father - Pastor Bernie D. Watson (Church of God, Cleveland, TN) passed away at the young age of 43. This incident so affected Brett’s life that he was determined to fulfill his calling and finish the spiritual heritage that his father and mother had established and passed down to him. In the fall of 1990, Brett began to pursue biblical education and expand out beyond his family. It was during that time, God began to give him supernatural dreams and visions of the ministry and mandated assignment to which he had been called to.

This message is crossing over all denominational lines as it relates to the “Kingdom of God Agenda”.
