==Dr. Patricia (Pat) Admarie Francis==

When Pat Francis migrated from Jamaica to Ontario in the 1970s she was intent on pursuing her career as a radiographer. But destiny had different plans for her. She has become the Senior Pastor of Kingdom Covenant Center, one of Canada's largest churches.
In addition, she has international influence as her television ministry 'Washed by the Word' is broadcast in Jamaica and
70 other countries spanning North America, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

Not long after entering Canada, Dr. Francis became involved in the various women's ministry groups. In one such meeting, the speaker did not show and it fell to her to preach that day. She did and it went over well. Before long, she was being asked to speak at many places. Godly people, she said, began to recognise that she possessed an anointing for preaching.

Dr. Pat Francis through her local and international ministries has reached millions of people with the message and mission of hope. Pat believes that "knowledge is power" and through her dynamic teaching seminars and weekly television program "Washed by the Word" she empowers millions of people with wisdom and practical strategies to reach their full potential with the help of faith in God.
