Min. Derek Burley
Derek Burley is an ordained minister who bears a teaching and exhorting sensibility. He is on the ministerial staff at the Faith and Love Christian Center in Brooklyn, New York where he also served as the Youth Minister. As a full time itinerate minister, his work is encased in the theme “Critical Advancement” (critical meaning “marked by exact and careful judgment and evaluation” and advancement meaning “the process of moving forward”) in response to a portion of scripture which burns strongly in his heart:
“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” –Isaiah 55:10-11 Minister Burley believes that when Holy Scripture is spoken, it will go forth with exact and careful judgment and evaluation and will accomplish what God has sent it to do. He focuses on the person of the Holy Spirit, not only in the personal development of the believer, but also in matters of spiritual warfare. He emphasizes the rights and realities of the “new creation,” challenging people to realize the unique and vital investment that God has placed within them and to deliberately access and nurture their treasure. His unique approach to the Word motivates people of all persuasions to critically think outside the proverbial “box” without compromising the integrity of the Word. Minister Burley’s work has also touched the lives of people in secular leadership. At times he speaks with a prophetic and philosophical twist which extends to the sociopolitical order. Additionally, Minister Burley is a professional student, emphasizing his belief that education plays a vital role in ministering to the world. He travels throughout the USA and to nations such as the United Kingdom, Belgium, Holland, Nigeria and Portugal. He is invited by various denominations and lectures at colleges and universities.
