Darren A. Ferguson is founder and pastor of Luke 4:18 Ministries, an umbrella organization of hiphop ministers and services in New York, including the Soldiers of Praise hiphop choir and Friday Night FLAYVA (Freedom, Love and Abundant Youth Victory Alliance) worship. He is also youth director for Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. Ferguson calls his preaching style “Hiphop Homiletics” and says hiphop is a new paradigm for youth ministries. He says streetwise kids respond when they see that God loves people enough to send somebody who speaks their language.
