As a pastor, he is a diversified mix of old and young, conservative and radical, teacher, preacher, father and friend. He enjoys his covenant blessing in his wife, Aretha and their children. Pastor Prater's greatest desire is to see the people of God recognize their potential as the children of God and to exercise their authority, ability, and availability to impact the world and win souls by the Word of God. He desires to see families prosper through the power of the Word of God. 

His daily prayer is for God’s:

1.      Grace and mercy towards His people

2.      Wisdom to teach him how to lead

3.      Heart toward the people of God

4.      Power to be applied to the lives and circumstances of His people.

 

Pastor Prater is privileged to serve as under-shepherd over the family of Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church where God has aligned strategic leadership to implement the vision to edify the body for the work of ministry and to build upon the foundation of prayer, praise, and power.
