As all things that produce life begin with a seed, the seed of ministry was planted in the hearts of Pastors Eric and Roiann Lightsey while in their youth. Here the two spent much of their lives very active in their local churches, and often engaged in street witnessing as an activity while dating.

Through time the maturation of this vision would take them down the alter in matrimony in March of 1990. In January of 1993 Pastors Eric & Roiann Lightsey journeyed to Tulsa , Oklahoma , where Pastor Eric attended Oral Roberts University to further his seminary education.

It was a clear spiritual direction to return to Ocala and begin a ministry for these last days before the return of Christ. The verse of scripture that was given to Pastor Eric was given from John 12:32 where Jesus stated “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me”, hence the sprouting of what is presently known to be Draw All Men.

Upon returning to Ocala in July of 1998, Pastors Eric and Roiann began ministering in their local community as they were invited. Sensing God stirring the vision, they began in their home with prayer and bible study. The group of attendees grew and committed themselves to the vision and began meeting in an incomplete building, presently know as Café on the Rock (a Christian Coffee House) building in downtown Ocala .

Upon completion of the building the growing group moved to Howard Middle School for a short season before finding a small building across from Wild Waters. As God continued to add to the church there was still yet another need to move to another location to accommodate more members. Draw All Men Ministries is currently located at 1601 N.E. 25th Ave, Suite 500 Ocala, FL 34470 (Skylark Plaza).
