My Story: The Call I Tried to Ignore

 

 

To understand D.R. Ministries, first you need to know a little about me.

 

My name is Deryl Richardson, and I am the owner and creator of D.R. Ministries. God called me at an early age to do His work, but I didn’t see myself as prepared — or willing. So, I ran. I hid. I did everything I could think of to stay away from His calling for years.

 

The calling was strong.

 

Every time I would enter a church, or even out in the street, something would rise in me emotionally — like lava boiling to eruption — making me uneasy. Sometimes a stranger would walk up and say they saw God all over me. It seemed inevitable that He would draw me in.

 

Yet, I was not receptive to His will.

 

 

 

The Drift: Life on My Own Terms

 

 

For years, I did things my way. I was successful. I failed. I had fun. I got in a lot of trouble.

 

I’m not going to manipulate the truth and tell you life was always miserable. I had some great times and made great memories. But I also made a lot of mistakes — some I could never take back.

 

“The one thing I can tell you is, it’s not good to be out in this world without a foundation.”

 

I was usually the smartest person in the room. I always had a plan. But in 2018, I woke up and I couldn’t move — not an arm, not a leg. I had no plan for that. I couldn’t think my way out of it.

 

No friend I rolled with could help me.

 

 

 

The Turning Point

 

 

Luckily for me — and it had nothing to do with luck — my parents prayed for me. They had been praying since the day I was born. Every morning. Every night. While I was questioning the Bible, chasing every carrot dangled in front of me about its validity, they were wearing out their kneecaps asking God to reach me.

 

Eventually, I got movement back… but I spiraled. After months of decline, I sat in front of a doctor who looked at me and said:

 

“Get used to that walker. Get used to the wheelchair your sister pushed you in here with. In five years, it’s likely you’ll be fully confined.”

 

That was my crossroad.

 

If I had that foundation in me, I would’ve cried out to God right then. But I didn’t. I turned to my parents again. I turned to ministers. I asked others to go to God for me.

 

It wasn’t until three years later that I finally cried out to Him myself.

 

And when I did?

 

He worked a miracle in my life — one that made my head, and the heads of everyone around me, turn.

 

 

 

The Miracle: Why I Walk by Faith

 

 

“I am a WALKING miracle.”

 

From that moment on, I turned my life over to God. I began studying His Word for myself and accepted His direction for my life.

 

D.R. Ministries is more than a ministry. It’s deeply personal. I speak the truth — my truth — from raw, uncut experiences with God. It’s rooted in the Bible, but I believe:

 

“When the ink dried on the final cut of the Bible, God didn’t go into hiding.”

 

We can read the stories of Jonah in the whale, Daniel in the lion’s den, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire…

 

But I’ve lived it.

 

I can tell you how I know God is a healer. I can testify to the moment when doctors gave up… and a single prayer brought a heartbeat back stronger than ever.

 

“I have LIFE to share, and I want to share it with you.

Most of all, I have GOD to share… and I want to share Him with you.”
