In 2008 he was asked to move to Grand Rapids, Michigan to work with Multi-Award winning Artist Marvin L. Sapp, \u201cMr. Never Would\u2019ve Made It\u201d (who at the time was the number one artist in the country\u00a0 across all genres of music).<\/p>\n

Serving on all levels of the Church of God In Christ, he works tirelessly in the Metropolitan Jurisdiction where Bishop J.\u00a0 B. Hackworth is prelate.

Elder Sprewell has been blessed to share his ministry on both national radio and television programs (Word Network,\u00a0 BET, and The Church Chanel to name a few). He travels across the country and around the world preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is also known to some as a life coach, helping people live their best life by maximizing their\u00a0 potential.<\/p>\n
