Rev. Dr. Robert L. Huston is the pastor of the Mount Gideon Missionary Baptist Church in University City, Missouri. The road that leads to Pastor Huston’s 30 years of pastoral leadership at Mount Gideon includes many blessed events some of which include; over 3,000 souls have given their life to Christ; the building of the new church edifice was completed in May of 1986 – a construction project totaling over three million dollars; the ordination of over 10 ministers and installation of 5 Pastors; the addition of the Mt. Gideon Educational Center and Fellowship Hall; the Feed the Hungry Mission Ministry which has fed over 50,000 people since its inception in November 1999; the Mt. Gideon Day Care Center.

 As God continued to enlarge Huston’s territory spiritually his physical territory was enlarged as well with three memorable trips to the Holy Land in Jerusalem where members were baptized in the Jordan River; revival for three years in Trinidad – West Indies; a special mission sending 300 Pastors to Japan; the beautiful beaches of Hawaii and many trips within the United States which includes an annual return to Hot Springs Arkansas.

 Throughout the years Huston has served on several boards and ministry organizations and is most proud of the accomplishments made as Chairman of the Laclede Gas Dollar Help Program where under his 15 years of leadership he raised 3 million dollars to assist families in financial distress by providing continual gas service to help “People Keep Warm”. From 1970 to 1980 Huston was elected and served as President of the St. Louis Ministers Alliance.
 

Pastor Huston values education and has led his members by example in receiving his Certificate of Counseling (1992), Recognition as Best Coordinator (1992), Bachelor of Arts in Theology (1992), Master of Arts in Christian Education (1993) and his Doctorate of Theology (1993) all from Glad Tidings Bible College in St. Louis, Missouri. Huston also attended St. Louis Christian College as well as Missouri Baptist College. 
Huston is honored to have been awarded the 2005-2006 Who’s Who Award and throughout his years of pastoral leadership has received the Citizen Award, Pastor of the Year, St. Louis Volunteer Award and the Book of the Year Award.

 Prior to coming to Mt. Gideon Pastor Huston simultaneously served for 5 years as Pastor of two churches; Lost Creek in Elsberry, Missouri and The Pleasant Valley M. B. Church in Troy, Missouri where he served as Pastor an additional 5 years thereafter.

 Huston’s Christian service began as he was ordained a deacon in 1960 by Rev. Willie Ellis. In 1966 Huston accepted his calling to preach the gospel and in August of the same year was ordained as minister by Pastor Jodie Nevels at Central Baptist in Wentzville, Missouri.

 Pastor Huston was born in Troy, Missouri to the parents of Rev. Dr. B.B. Huston and Bessie Huston. Rev. Dr. B.B. Huston preceded his son’s footsteps and served as Pastor of The Pleasant Valley M.B. Church. He is the proud and dedicated husband to his wife Sis. Joyce Huston whose holy reverence and anointing has blessed the body of Christ. Huston has two sons Min Dressel Huston (Lydia) and Deacon Romon Huston (Stephanie) and is equally proud of his grandchildren; Christina, Meagan, Dressel, Jr., Joya, Kendall and one great grandson Jason.

Minister Carlton R. Lee, Jr. - Minister - yahoo.com@mr_crlee

Minister Carlton R. Lee received the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior at the age of 3 under the tutelage of Pastor Earbie Bledsoe of Devotional Church in St. Louis, Missouri. As Minister Lee grew up in the church the evidence of a true conversion for Christ had not taken place until he was filled with the Holy Spirit and began to yield his life for God’s pleasure. 

Throughout his young life many opportunities were presented to Minister Lee however those that are most significant to him are: he received his calling in June 2003 and in the same month, the Lord gave him the responsibility of serving as Armor Bearer to Rev. Dr. Robert L. Huston, Pastor of Mt. Gideon Missionary Baptist Church where Minister Lee is a member. Minister Lee began to study the word more in depth to have a full understanding of this new position while listening for instructions from the Holy Spirit. While at Mt. Gideon, Minister Lee has been a faithful monthly speaker for the Wednesday night Midweek Service and most recently been asked to lead the adult segment of discussion of becoming a Meta Church (a church for change).

On August 27, 2004 God changed the direction of Minister Lee’s path and hence birthed the vision of Radical 4 Christ a ministry that will reach the youth of this nation. The vision consists of taking the youth of the world equipping them with the word and the knowledge of God to resist the devil.

On Sunday, June 11, 2006, in the presence of his family, church members and friends, Minister Lee was ordained as Associate Minister at the Mount Gideon M.B. Church in University City. 

In addition, Minister Lee is also a playwright having written a play entitled Preaching Ain’t Pastoring.

Minister Lee is honored to be a husband to his lovely wife Maxine and proud father of Martaé his 5 year old son and newborn daughter Camirah Sarai.

 
 
Evangelist Danielle Davis - Evangelist - sbcglobal.net@ddavis29

Evangelist Danielle Davis received the Lord at an early age while attending Mt. Beulah M. B.
Church in Saint Louis, Missouri under the pastoral leadership of Rev. Dr. E.G. Shields, Sr. However, soon after finishing high school, Evangelist Davis strayed away from God's will, and tried to do her “own thing”. In choosing this path she encountered struggle and hardship. She became a mother at the age of 18 and tragically four months later her brother was killed. The passing of her brother was the last sign she needed that made her turn around and head back to Jesus. In September of 1994, Evangelist Davis rededicated her life to the Lord at the Mt. Gideon M. B. Church in University City, Missouri under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Robert L. Huston.

Evangelist Davis accepted the Lord's call into the ministry of preaching HIS word in March of 2001. Her first message was preached at a women's conference on July 29, 2001 which she remembers so vividly as it was 7 years earlier on the same date (7/29/94) when her brother was buried. Evangelist Davis serves as the overseer of the Single Mother's Support Outreach which serves to offer emotional and physical support as well as gives biblical instruction and guidance to the women of the church and the community.

Evangelist Davis will testify that even though she has had her ups as well as her downs and may go through trials and tribulations she knows without any doubt that GOD is in CONTROL and He has assured her that He will never leave her nor forsake her. She is noted to be on fire for the Lord and knows the best decision she has ever made was to return to the Lord and she will never turn back.

Evangelist Davis is a proud mother of a handsome 14 year old son named DeMonte Davis, who keeps her busy as he plays basketball with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and McCluer Senior High School.
