Pastor Godstme “GT” Pender is the Lead Pastor of Streams of Joy Houston and the Coordinator of Streams of Joy USA; a preacher, a pastor, a leader, and a man who has given his life to the advancement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ on American soil.
As Lead Pastor of Streams of Joy Houston and Coordinator of Streams of Joy USA, Pastor GT provides spiritual leadership, guidance, and support to communities committed to prayer, revival, and spiritual growth.
His leadership style is marked by humility, wisdom, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the Word of God.
Everything begins with God. Pastor GT believes that true transformation happens when people build their lives on faith in Jesus Christ.
Strong leadership changes families, churches, and communities. Pastor GT is passionate about raising disciplined and purpose-driven leaders.
Ministry is about serving people with love, compassion, and humility — both inside and outside the church.
Growth happens in healthy community. Pastor GT believes people flourish when they are connected, encouraged, and spiritually supported.
Pastor GT will be the first to tell you he is not where he is because of talent, strategy, or ambition. He is where he is because of one decision he made before any of this existed. He said yes to God. Fully, without reservation, without a backup plan.
That yes has never stopped bearing fruit.
It took him into pulpits across the nation, carrying a Gospel message that does not flinch and does not fade. It planted him in Houston, where he has built a church that feels like family and moves like a revival. It placed on his shoulders the responsibility of coordinating Streams of Joy across the United States, a role he carries not as a title, but as a calling.
And it is still unfolding.
The most exciting chapter of Pastor GT’s ministry is not behind him, it is happening right now, in this city, in this generation, in the lives of the people sitting in the seats at Streams of Joy Houston every single week.
He said yes. And God has been answering ever since.
