Bishop William A. Mitchell Jr. began preaching at 16 and is now 61. He ran his own business for 17 years before retiring at 33 and has preached internationally. At 32, he sought a healing anointing through a 31-day spiritual recluse, after which his revival meetings saw many people healed. He was instructed by the Lord to complete a 61-day shut-in, during which he lived in the church with minimal comforts. This period increased his healing anointing. For three years, he avoided restaurants, and for ten years, he did not watch television. At 38, he led the ministry to build a $500,000 church and repay its loan in just over nine years and 3 days. While the sanctuary was under construction, he was called to reconsecrate himself. In 2003, following the guidance of the Lord, he entered a period of seclusion that lasted four months-123 days and three hours. He received North Carolina's Long Leaf Pine Award, pastored one church for 35 years, founded the Marked For A Miracle International Conference, holds a Doctorate in Biblical Studies, and was appointed Bishop in 2018. He accomplished these objectives by following the guidance of the Holy Spirit and fulfilling God's intentions for His kingdom.
