I met Pastor DeWayne 20+ years ago before he was married. He was a fine young man then who loved the LORD and still loves GOD. He is full of integrity every day of his life, a wonderful husband and a great father, a pastor beyond reproach with no hidden agendas. My husband and I totally trust him with the souls of men, because he loves GOD and is completely dedicated to the advancement of everyone he comes in contact with. We highly respect him and wish blessings upon him always.

I am honored to have the opportunity to briefly write about Pastor DeWayne L. Wright of Kingdom Living Ministries in New Jersey whom I have known for over 25 years. Pastor DeWayne has always been a man of great character and integrity, a servant leader who practices what he teaches & preaches. “PD” has always aimed to honor God with a spirit of excellence in whatever he puts his hand too.
I believe his first book (of what will be many) When Work is Worship is a must-read, providing the reader a biblical worldview perspective on honoring God in the workplace. This timeless book transcends all ethnic and religious boundaries and is for everyone, whether you’re a marketplace leader, business owner, pastor, non-profit leader or employee. The principals you will learn in When Work is Worship will enhance any workplace environment and will provide you, the reader, with the information you need to maximize your efficiency and effectiveness, which will allow you to prosper. The hand of the diligent always prospers and is promoted!

When I consider Pastor DeWayne Wright, I think of a man who lives what he preaches. Pastor DeWayne strives to live the gospel, and through living it he seeks to impart it to those who need to hear it. Regardless of the environment, he remains a constant reflection of a man of character. The Universal Church is blessed to have such a minister of the gospel in its ranks.
Pastor Evans Pierre
Kingdom Insight Church – Edison, NJ
For over a decade, I have watched DeWayne continually grow as a man of God, husband, father and Pastor. He continually models integrity throughout all aspects of life. In When Work is Worship, DeWayne vividly describes how faith should impact our careers and workplace resulting in personal advancement, prosperity of our employer, and forward movement in our life purpose.
Pastor Jack Redmond
Church Mobilization Pastor, Christ Church – Montclair, NJ
I have known Pastor DeWayne Wright for over 15 years, and one of his greatest attributes that I revere is him being a person of great integrity – doing what's right, because it's right, whether or not anyone else is watching. He places uncompromised value on being a faithful husband, father, and servant to his church family, friends, community-at-large, and God. A book about honoring God in the workplace could not have been written by a better man.

DeWayne L. Wright is one of the purest, passionate pursuers of God I have ever met. Having been blessed to watch his life from the inside because we worked together, I can honestly say that he is an example of a worshiping worker. DeWayne has consistently been a man of character for the nearly two decades I have known him. If anyone is looking for a voice that is as integrous as it is anointed, look no further: You have found a genuine servant of God who lives the life that he teaches, preaches, and writes about.

I have known DeWayne Wright for 18 years. I remember when he began to mentor me at 15 years old, one of the first topics we conversed about was character. One scripture he used to always recite when talking about character was Matthew 5:37: "Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything more than this comes from evil." Character was not only something that he talked about in theory, but I have seen him put it into practice plenty of times, even with the hard decisions. He would always explain how important developing my character would be for me...not only as a teenager but as a Christ-follower, friend, and eventually as a husband and father. Over the past 18 years, I have learned a lot from Pastor DeWayne but one thing that I will never forget is what he taught me about character, because those lessons helped shaped me into the man I have become today.

I’ve known DeWayne “PD” Wright for over 10 years now and he’s been an amazing mentor to me. PD practices what he preaches, and honoring God in the workplace is no exception. If you are looking for good teaching on how to live out your calling at your 9-5, PD is a trusted and proven source.

DeWayne L. Wright is a man of integrity. This quality is a consistent thread throughout his lifestyle and work ethic. It extends also to his communication of Biblical truth, as he tirelessly strives for both sound exposition of the scriptures and effective application for the reader.

Over the past 20 years that we have known Pastor DeWayne, he has lived out an unyielding reverence and respect for God and the scriptures. He is faith-filled, disciplined, and lives selflessly demonstrating the love of Christ to his family, friends, and those he leads. We have always been honored to call him a friend and brother.
Pastors Arnell & Dr. Danita Thompson
Mending Hearts Kingdom Church – Florence, NJ
Pastor DeWayne Wright is a young man who has the wisdom of a man much older than his years. This is probably because he is teachable and likes to draw from and be advised by seasoned men and women of God. I have always admired that about him. He is an honest man with great integrity and focus. I’ve observed him in his roles of son, husband, father, pastor, and servant of God. In every role, he rates consistently above average. I am honored to call him “my son” in the gospel and a friend. He is a blessing to the Body of Christ. In this age of paradigm shift, lies and deception, Pastor DeWayne Wright holds the light of Jesus Christ high and he does not compromise on the standards set by the Word of God.
Dr. Odessa McNeil

He is a true student of the Word of God and he pushes himself to learn and grow daily. DeWayne has always walked in integrity and is a true leader in the Body of Christ. As a loving husband and caring father, DeWayne leads his family well. I am honored to call DeWayne my friend and I know you will be blessed by reading after him.

He is a man of community who embraces the needs of fellow members in his church and beyond, and reaches out to all those who need a strong hand and sensitive heart.

I have known Pastor Wright since 1992 after meeting him while we were students at Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, OK. His desire for the things of God has not changed. Pastor Wright is honest, accountable, and faithful to his oath, commitment, and obligations, not only to his church life but in his personal life also. Pastor Wright is loyal, humble, and does not let his ego get in the way. I am honored to know this young man.

The character of a person is indispensable for credibility as a leader and influencer. DeWayne L. Wright a.k.a. Pastor D has consistently demonstrated the character traits that have made him believable. I have observed Pastor D’s lifestyle and witnessed him speak and act with integrity. He has maintained his integrity even when it was not appreciated nor respected because it did not conform to conventional wisdom or hierarchical perceptions. It is not likely that he could have remained credible in such situations unless he was centered in his purpose and had the courage of his convictions.

A man of prayer. A man I have known to pray about everything. One that believes that nothing else does but prayer, and I agree with him.
A man of family. One delighted to raise a good Godly family that is protected, provided for, and presented to God, and the people honored. Not only his house but those in the house of the Lord around the world. I am one of them together with my family.
A man of absolute joy for Kingdom service. Sold out to ministry and leading others to the same commitment.
A man of THE BOOK and books. One that reads the Word of God and other books, not to preach but to understand His creator, His God. One that memorizes the Word of God; a healthy technique for a seasoned preacher.
Every blessing!
