Bishop Wellington Boone is a Black American evangelical Christian leader who was ranked by researcher George Barna and co-author Harry Jackson, Jr., as the #1 Black American leader in racial reconciliation of the 20th Century.
Dr. Ben Carson, current Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Donald Trump and Emeritus Professor of Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins Medicine, said of Bishop Boone's latest book Black Self-Genocide: What Black Lives Matter Won't Say, "“In his riveting book, Black Self Genocide, Bishop Wellington Boone provides great insight into the belief systems and behaviors that have kept black people in America in a dependent position. More importantly he provides sage advice for how to empower the black community in America and consequently to help strengthen the entire nation.”
Bishop Boone is the founder and chief prelate of the Fellowship of International Churches and has been a successful church planter for more than 40 years.
As an author and public speaker he is celebrated by major Christian leaders like Bill McCartney, co-founder of Promise Keepers, which filled football stadiums and held some of the largest gatherings of Christian men in history. Bishop Boone personally spoke at 50 Promise Keepers events under Coach McCartney, who said of Bishop Boone, "This is an incredible man of God. Every time I'm in the presence of this guy, I sense two things: This is a man who is truly a man of tremendous faith, and he's a man who is truly fearless."
Bishop Boone has been married to his high school sweetheart Katheryn for 44 years. People often approach him to thank him for his messages and books like Your Wife Is Not Your Momma and Women Are Kingmakers! that have saved their marriages and even inspired some to launch their own national marriage ministries.
