Pastor Ron Watlington was called to the ministry in 1994. He and Pastor Janice Watlington served faithfully under another ministry in Heidelberg, Germany for five years. Due to military Permanent Change of Station Orders, they were directed to Bamberg, Germany to help another Pastor establish a Church service in the Bamberg community.
After teaching God’s Word for several months at the service, God spoke to the Pastors again about leaving the Bamberg area and moving to the Wurzburg, Germany community to start Word of Knowledge Ministries.
After the Pastors discussed several names for the Church, they decided to pray and ask God to give them a name. While driving from Heidelberg, Germany a short time later, Pastor Watlington was instructed by God to name the Church “Word of Knowledge Ministries.” The name was given in reference to Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
The Pastors were instructed to teach the Word of God with simplicity and understanding so people would get saved, and learn that they can live a victorious Christian life right here on earth. There were approximately eight people who attended the first service. The Church began to grow as the Word of God increased.
In 2001, the Pastors again received Permanent Change of Station Orders from the military to relocate to Fort Hood, Texas. They both later retired from the military, and currently live in the Harker Heights, Texas area. Once they arrived at Fort Hood, Texas, they served faithfully at Destiny World Outreach Center, Killeen, Texas for eight years.
God later spoke to the Pastor about reestablishing Word of Knowledge Ministries in Killeen, Texas. Word of Knowledge held their first service in Killeen, Texas on July 11, 2010. The Pastors continue to teach the message to the people that they do not have to wait to get to heaven to be victorious. God wants us to be victorious right here on earth today!

OUR MISSION
Word of Knowledge (WOK) is a Non-Denominational Ministry for everyone. We are very much concerned about your spiritual growth. WOK is a Ministry built solely on faith. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).” In other words, the God kind of faith adds substance to your hopes.
Our primary mission at WOK is to teach the truth concerning the principles of God. The truth is established in his Word. Hosea 4:6 says that, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Jesus said the the truth that we know will make us free (John 8:32). Many people do not know the truth and are living in bondage. Satan uses their lack of knowledge to keep them in bondage.
Here at Word of Knowledge we want to impart the Word of God into your spirit so you will know who you are in Christ Jesus. Through Christ Jesus you have the power to resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7).
God want us to live a victorious Christian life now! Many people think that they have to wait to get to heaven to be victorious. As Christians we are victorious based on what Jesus did for us. God made him to be sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21). He carried our sins to the cross. Then he redeemed us through his blood (Colossians 1:14).
Always let Jesus have first place in your life. In his presence there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). In all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:6). Always remember that Jesus is Lord all by himself!
Pastors Ron and Janice Watlington
