TKG Ministries

Antonio ("Tony") Parham (pronounced like PAR-rum) has a unique, multifaceted ministerial calling.  "Pastor Tony" walks in several of the ministry gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:28.   A skilled communicator, he is an anointed, compelling teacher who shares inspiring Christian truths in an engaging manner.  A gifted leader, Tony has worked with ministries, not-for-profit organizations and for-profit corporations to "create order out of chaos," and to "take ideas from concept to reality."

Individually, and with his wife, "Dr. Lynda," Tony serves as a counselor, mentor and coach to individuals, couples and leaders, helping them to reach their highest potential in their personal lives, careers and relationships.   By combining these various dimensions, Tony strives to fulfill his call to be a bridge between "the market place" and "the meeting place."

Prophecy selection
"Because of your involvement in business, I see you..., I see you kind of standing half way between the market place and the meeting place.  And I see God using you as a bridge between those that are outside and those that are inside.  And, out of that, God's going to build and birth something beyond anything you've known in your ministry.  But it's..., it's almost like you're going to be standing in between.  You're going to be a bridge that's going to enable them to come across into the kingdom.  And, that's wonderful.  Keep serving.  Don't try to figure it out.  God will do it."
