Pastor Jesse Batchelor

Pastor Jesse was born and raised in Paterson NJ. Growing up in that town he always had a good heart but peer pressure got the best of him. He tried all kinds of drugs and alcohol but crack cocaine was his thing. Even on drugs he did some good things for people and some bad things but for the most part he always stayed true to the game. After his second prison bid he moved to Georgia in September 2005 and after successfully working for the Wash Bucket in Buford, GA he became the assistant manager. After two years he ended up back on drugs but still had a good heart. He started his own business and he's still in business to date bigger than ever. After a while he smoked crack cocaine for a few years and ended up in jail for crimes he didn't do, went to court and won at his trial. After he was released, he went to a program at Tabernacle International Church. That place set the tone for him. He had a car accident that put him in the hospital for 35 days, and rehab for 30 days. Even after rehab he couldn't walk so he moved in with his sister for 10 months. Then he went back home and started getting high off of crack and pills. He couldn't function too well, but he started going back to church and asking God for help. Now he is a pastor at that same church.
