"From Boys to Men" The Development of Christian Men, guest Dr. Jesse Clay

Rev. Jesse P. Clay, Jr., D.Min.

Jesse Paul Clay, Jr. was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the eldest of six children.  Relocating to Columbia Maryland with his parents, Dr. & Mrs. Jesse Paul Clay, he graduated from Wilde-Lake High School.  He attended Howard University, graduating with a BS degree.  He also received a Masters in Christian Counseling, a Masters of Divinity, and Doctor of Ministry degrees from the Maple Spring Baptist Bible College and Seminary.

Jesse, an administrator in the District of Columbia Government has recorded twenty – five years of government service.   He is married to the beautiful former Brenda Wildes and out of their thirty year union, has two wonderful adult children: Victoria and Jesse III. 

In October 2004, Rev. Clay, with the assistance of his wife and other supporters opened the doors of Jehovah Christian Ministries, a non-denominational Christian ministry.  They currently worship in the Capital Heights, Maryland area.   There they continue a ministry for God and He is richly blessing the ministry. 

Most important, Jesse is a born again believer, and loves the Lord.  His message is that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, he rose again so we can live victoriously and receive eternal life.  With this message, he witnesses to male prisoners at Brockbridge Correctional Institution in Jessup, Maryland in connection with the New Life Ministries, and homeless men at the Central Union Mission in connection with the Partners in Ministry Program sponsored by the Church of Restoration.  His counsel to individuals is that God is restoring, renewing, and re-establishing them for the Master’s use.

May God receive the glory for the great changes in the lives of His people.
