On November 19, 1997, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida a day that will always be remembered. It was the birth of Terry Montell Durham, and his Twin Brother, Todd Mantell Durham Jr. Their parents, Nicole and Todd, knew that this birth was a sign from God, He gave them two sons. What they did not know at the time was that Terry would become an inspiration to thousands with his ministry.
Terry Durham grew up in Lauderdale Lakes Florida. Living with his grandmother and father, he was not your typical 9 year old kid. He had a habit as a child of preaching to an imaginary congregation and always carrying his little “microphone radio” every where he would go. Him and his twin brother would have church every where they went, earning him the nickname "Preacher Man". Pastor Sharon Monroe (grand mother) instilled a strong work of leadership in her grandson at an early age. His grandmother was a traveling evangelist, who traveled around the state ministering the word of God. She begins to watch Terry at a very young age.
Terry started ministering the word of God at the age of 2 years old. He’s the world’s youngest license and Ordained Minister. He laughs; he plays but appears to be a bit shy when you talk to him. In 2003, he was license and Ordained for ministry at True Gospel Deliverance in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. This congregation was birth by Pastor Monroe. Walking in the foot steps of Martin Luther King Jr. and Al Sharpton, Terry preached his first sermon at the age of 4. Sharon Monroe and a council of

Todd Jr. the youngest brother was well enough to go home early. Terry stayed longer fighting for his life, his health was so Fragile that he was sent home on a heart monitor, under the instruction that “if the monitor goes off Terry is dead”, said the Doctor. But he being the hero that he is, fought through it all. Still at the age of two years old, he under went another surgery for a hernia. Through excessive prayer and believing in God Terry pulled through.
