About Me

DeChard I. H. Marshall-Freeman was born on February 27th 1982 in Houston, Texas to Ms. Carol Marshall (#1 mom and life-long supporter) and Mr. Anthony Freeman (now deceased). Upon relocating to Austin, Texas DeChard united with the Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor A.W. Anthony Mays where he received Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. A couple of years after his conversion experience DeChard Freeman was blessed to be called of God into the gospel preaching ministry. Min. Freeman remembers his call as a sure and compelling word from God to go into the world and preach to the lost about the Good News of Jesus our Christ. On February 25th 1991 Min. DeChard Freeman preached his first public sermon at the Mt. Sinai Church at the young age of eight. In that same year Min. Freeman was licensed by the Mt. Sinai Church as a minister of the gospel and has served as an associate there until present day. Min. Freeman graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School and receive and B.A. in Psychology from Huston-Tillotson University in Austin. Min. Freeman was appointed Youth Pastor at the Mount Sinai Church in June of 2001 and was ordained as a gospel minister in August of the same year. Min. Freeman is also active in music ministry as he is a member/founder of a male gospel trio (No Weapon). Min. Freeman has held multiple offices on the local, statewide and national levels. He is the president of the Young Minister’s Fellowship of Austin and the list of service goes on and on. He is the grateful/overjoyed husband of Sis. Kayla S. Freeman and the proud father of two sons: Micah D.A. Freeman and Caleb D.A. Freeman. In addition to his dedication to family, ministry work at Mt. Sinai, evangelical service and community involvement Freeman is currently pursuing his Masters in Divinity at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary where he has maintained a 3.0 thus far. Above all of this DeChard Freeman holds in high regard his walk with Christ. His determination is to be totally used by God to do the awesome work of the Kingdom and spread the message of JESUS, joy, peace, salvation, love, and liberty to the masses as God allows. *SORRY MY "ABOUT ME" IS SO FORMAL, I JUST PASTED THE BIO THAT I USE ALL THE TIME!!
