BIOGRAPHY

COLLEEN ANGELA KEYS JOHNSON

 

Colleen Angela Keys Johnson was born in New Orleans, La., to Horace and Lorena McDonald Keys.  She is the sister of Horace L. Keys, Felictia Keys Morrow and the late Thomas. E. Keys, Sr.  She was married to the late Stanley Johnson and is the proud mother of Stanley Johnson, Jr. and Janelle Marie Johnson.

 

Colleen was baptized at Rosedale M.B.C. Oct. 1964 at the age of 12.  In 1984 she literally heard the voice of God say, “YOU ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY”.  After many years of doing things her way and realizing just going to church every Sunday was not enough, she yearned for a deeper relationship with Christ and in 1995, she joined Franklin Ave. Baptist Church and totally surrendered her life to Christ at a Women's Conference.

 

Seeing a need in the community she grew up in, Colleen joined Greater Bright Morning Star Baptist Church in New Orleans, La. in January 2000.  Remembering her training at Rosedale, Franklin Ave, and recalling the story about her maternal grandmother speaking and evangelizing at different churches, she realized it was all training ground for the greater work and purposed God had called her to do.  It was then that she accepted her call into the preaching ministry in 2000 and was licensed in 2002 and ordained in 2004 under the leadership of Pastor Thomas E. Keys, Jr.

 

She is presently a member of The School of the Prophets, Women of Worth, Director of Single, Saved and Sanctified Singles Ministry and serves as the 1st Assistant to Pastor Thomas E. Keys, Jr. as well as Site Pastor of Restoration Centre Bossier.

 

She is employed by Amistad Communication 1300 AM KSYB Radio as a programmer and On-Air Personality as the Midday Messenger.

 

The scripture that speaks to Colleen and constantly gives her comfort and direction is Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart , and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

 

Her favorite songs are “I Love You (Lord Today)” , “Blessed Assurance” and “I Surrender All”
