Jeremy Prather - Testimony and Bio
Serving Central Georgia
Jeremy Prather grew up as the youngest of four children in a single-parent household. His mother was loving and kind, but they were living in the projects, and without a father figure in his life, he began to participate in the criminal activity around him. He was then incarcerated in 2010 for armed robbery. Two years into his incarceration, the Lord opened Jeremy’s heart, and he gave his life to Jesus. He became a peer mentor with the Walker State Prison’s Faith-and-Character-Based program and joined the mentorship program with Metanoia. His mentor was with him for 5 years and significantly impacted his walk with the Lord, which inspired his desire to recruit mentorship partners for Metanoia. Jeremy earned a Doctor of Ministry from Miami International Seminary when released from prison on December 7, 2021. Metanoia issued a call through Mission to North America to serve as the Regional Director for Central Georgia. He was ordained on May 19, 2024, as a Teaching Elder with Metro Atlanta Presbytery. The Lord has continued to bless his ministry by bringing 130 volunteers since 2022, and Jeremy hopes to increase that number this coming year.
Jeremy is married to Rebekah Ann Prather, and the Lord has blessed them with four wonderful children: Lindsey Sutton (26), Kaitlyn Beaver (22), Georgia Beaver (10), and EJ Beaver (7). When Jeremy is not working, the family enjoys having movie nights, fishing, or watching college football.
