Greetings Transformation Family and Friends!

This is our 25th anniversary at TRANSFORMATION CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND WORLD OUTREACH CENTER (TCCWOC). Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! It is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes.

It has always been and will always be a great honor, privilege and pleasure to serve God by pastoring the most amazing people on earth; the members of TCCWOC. For almost the first 17 years of this journey I was partnered with a great man of God. I will now introduce Dr. Burruss to some, and present him to others, using the bio of one of his books he self-published in 2000.

Richard Burruss is a licensed and ordained minister of the Gospel, pastor, teacher, conference speaker, author and foreign missionary. He has a bold and compassionate way of ministering to the hearts of men and women alike. He is a no nonsense man of God whose greatest desire is to see transformation take place in people as they prosper in all God has for them in every area of life. He and his wife, Pricellious, pastor Transformation Christian Church & World Outreach Center in St. Louis, Missouri, an explosive, inner-city ministry they founded in July, 1989.

He ran his race to the glory of God and is now rejoicing in heaven. I have chosen to continue to run my race to the glory of God, and be obedient to what He has called, commissioned and anointed me to do.

I, and the members of TCCWOC are committed to fulfilling the God-given vision of "Transforming Lives Through the Power of God's Word the World Over." Moving forward, we are expecting God's awesome glory and light to be manifested in a greater way to expand His kingdom locally, nationally and internationally, impacting and transforming lives!

This anniversary book will focus on the people and work of the ministry of TCCWOC. You can view it online by logging on to www.Issuu.com/TCCWOCSTL. Also, there is a 25th Anniversary DVD, "Behind The Scenes - How It All Came About." The DVD can be ordered through Transformation Christian Bookstore for the cost of $10.00. You may pick it up at the bookstore (4071 Page Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63113) or if mailed, an additional $2.50 shipping and handling charge will be applied.

If I had a thousand tongues I could not adequately thank God for His goodness and grace over these last 25 years. God bless you all!

Ab!t Our Pa"or

Richard Burruss gave his life to Jesus at the age of seven, a fact that he would vividly describe in detail. However, because he was not taught in the Word he turned away from The Lord in his early teens and entered a life of crime motivated by the hatred of the poverty that was all around him. He started with nothing and became an extremely wealthy young man. He was listed as one of the top ten men responsible for organized crime in the city of St. Louis in the seventies. During his almost 20 years of crime, his drug and theft operations not only involved St. Louis, but it included a few other cities and Mexico. Throughout that time his parents and his sisters never gave up praying for him to return to The Lord and for his deliverance.

In 1981, he had a Damascus Road experience in which God spoke to him and told him that He was tired of what he and his friends were doing. Shortly after that he surrendered his life to The Lord, repented of his sins and gave his life to The Lord Jesus Christ. For the next 25 years he lived totally surrendered to The Lord. He gave away his wealth, walked away from his drug empire and trusted God that he would not be murdered. He enrolled in Beulah Heights Bible College in Atlanta, Georgia and received his Bachelor's Degree in Christian Education in 1986.

In January 1987 Dr. Burruss came back to St. Louis. God had spoken to him and he knew he would have a large ministry in St. Louis. It was in January 1987 that he met Pricellious J. Morris. On June 14, 1987 they were licensed and ordained as ministers of the Gospel at the 10:00 a.m. Sunday Worship Service, and at 2:00 p.m. they were wed in Holy Matrimony. In March 1989 they co-founded Richard Burruss Ministries, and in July 1989 they co-founded Transformation Christian Church and World Outreach Center. From 1988-1994 they followed the command to be fruitful and multiply, and they became the pleased parents of five children.

God used Dr. Burruss to aid in cleaning up the city of St. Louis through his ministering at Transformation Christian Church, through the radio ministry, through ministering at other churches, through television programs on which he ministered, through the books he authored, through conferences, through Transformation Christian Bookstore resources, and through his evangelistic outreaches such as: the Richard Burruss Prison Ministry that ministers in almost every prison in Missouri, the Saturday School for Neighborhood Children, and the physical restoration of properties in our city. Through his ministering and various outreaches, thousands of souls were saved, set free, and delivered. He founded the Transformation of Alcoholics and Drug Abusers Alliance and helped other churches start their own programs locally and nationally to help people get free from drugs and alcohol. Outside of our country God used Dr. Burruss, through the aid of an African pastor he met at Beulah Heights Bible College, to host leadership conferences annually in Kitale, East Africa from 1992-2002. He also ministered in Haiti, Switzerland, and other countries, transforming lives.

In 1998 he received his Masters Degree in Urban Ministry, Missions, and Evangelism from Southwestern College of Christian Ministries in Oklahoma. On April 30, 2000 Dr. Burruss was elected to the Honorary Society of the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges in recognition of outstanding intellectual achievement, approved Christian character, and effective leadership gifts in advancing the cause of Christ. He received an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Beulah Heights Bible College in 2004.

Dr. Burruss' success in twenty-five years of ministry has been a tribute to the transforming power of God. From drug King Pin to Apostle he has left a legacy of faith for his family, congregation, friends, and thousands of others who have been transformed by his ministry.
