He is an entrepreneur by gifting of God and trade having launched several businesses over the years and has helped to facilitate the management of many others. The accomplishment that brings the greatest joy to his heart is serving and later managing his family’s business with his parents: P&P Port-A-Van.
Raised in the Ray of Hope Baptist Church, Pastor Deurice served faithfully there on many youth ministries. Pastor Deurice has been in training for servanthood for many years under the leadership of Pastor Dr. James Thompson and later under Pastor Alphonzo Davis of Nazarene Baptist Church. He was licensed to preach the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ on May 28, 2017 under Chief Apostle Dr. Deborah O. Gilmore at To God Be the Glory Church of Worship International. Pastor Deurice was ordained as an Elder on September 30, 2018 by Chief Apostle Dr. Deborah O. Gilmore, One Body With Many Parts Int’l. Ministries and he was also elevated to the five-fold ministry as a Pastor on September 30, 2018. Pastor Deurice and his wife, Sr. Pastor Cendoria Dean, were commissioned by The Holy Spirit to launch Powerful Movement Worship Center For Christ, International on October 14, 2018.
God led Pastor Deurice to begin miming for His glory in 2002. When Pastor Deurice answered the call to this creative arts ministry; he became known as the "serious one." His main goal for Mime is to evangelize to the lost and broken through the words of the songs as interpreted through movement. In additional to leading the Mime division of the creative arts division of Nazarene Baptist Church, he also served as Lead Engineer and as a Deacon-in-Training. Later, Pastor Deurice was elevated to Director of Creative Arts while his wife served on the ministerial board.
Pastor Dean has been called to minister in mime at birthday parties; record release parties; MANY churches through the state of Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC; has been a regular at Reaching Out to Help You Ministries, St John’s under Pastor Pearson, and at New Commandment Baptist Church. He has also been interviewed and ministered for the television program “Let’s Talk.” Under his leadership the mime ministry in Nazarene had expanded to an all female mime ministry (GANG – Gaining Access Near God) and a little children’s mime ministry (Little Saints in Mime).
Mime has been the encourager, comforter, outlet and so much for Pastor Deurice. This ministry has been the tool God used to keep him sane during the time of the death of his father in April 2011; and the death of his mother just 9 months later in January, 2012. He now is walking in his calling as preacher, teacher and pastor. He knows if his parents were here today they would say “Son we are proud and well done.”
