Minister DeSaun Bunn

Minister DeSean Bunn was born on March 31, 1992 to Ordean Bunn and Donald Bunn. At an early age the hand of God was on his life. He began to sing and preach before he could speak clearly.

He often says that his first pulpit was his grandmother's front porch because he preached on it every day as a little kid. He would even go out into the neighborhood laying hands on people. The people declared when that baby touched me I felt better.

Minister Bunn was baptized in Jesus name at age 9, and received the gift of the Holy Ghost at age 10 at Refuge One Way COOLJC under the leadership of the late Bishop Michael Dixon.

He did his initial sermon on May 23, 2009 also at Refuge One Way COOLJC at age 17. God opened many doors for him as soon as he started preaching and he has not stopped going since.

He is currently a member of The Glory Church of Jesus in Enfield NC under the leadership of District Elder James Taylor and Dr. Shirley DeBerry. He has been rendering services in his home every 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month on Facebook live for almost 5 years.

He loves the Lord with all of his heart and his main goal is to reach as many souls as he can until Jesus returns.
