Tony Walker was born on November 9, 1983 in Anderson, SC. His childhood rarely involved going to church. His family situation was unstable but he had a mother who did the best she could.

On March 22, 1994 at the age of 10, his mother was murdered by his step-dad. He was then taken in by a life long friend of his mother. She and her husband was given custody of Tony and took him in as their own son.

With the new addition to the family, they saw the need to raise Tony in church. In 1995, they began attending Gethsemane Baptist Temple in Starr, SC. In the winter of 1995/96, at the age of 12, Tony made a false profession of faith to please his new parents but his life never change.

The journey into teenage years began and resulted in regrets and disobedience to what he heard every Sunday and Wednesday at church. Still, his "adopted" parents raised him in church so he could be brought up under the word of God.

Then things changed in the spring of 2001 at the age of 17 when Tony began to realize the things he was involved in were not only displeasing to his parents and those who knew, but to God himself. In his room with simple faith and a simple prayer he asked Jesus to save him. Something happened that did not happen in 1995/96, his life changed!

He began to pay attention in church, read the Bible, witness, and try to make his senior year of high school count for God. As high school drew near to the end, questions about what to do after high school began to come into his mind. In January of 2002 he attended an all men's meeting at church and at the altar call told the Lord that he would preach if that is what he wanted from him.

He preached his first message the next month, graduated in May of 2002, and began attending Tabernacle Baptist Bible College that August where he is still enrolled. On July 30, 2005 he married his high school sweetheart who is a great wife, friend, and help-meet.
