He is highly skilled in leadership development, having helped high school and college students complete leadership training courses and trained and coached corporate leaders throughout mid-Michigan and Africa. In 2002, he and his wife, Cynthia, launched Kingdom Ministries, whose mission is to empower community through the kingdom of God. King also launched the life training institute as a training ministry that provides Biblically based, spiritually empowered, and practically applied resources locally and globally.
