Frenchie started his journey in ministry at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Nashville, Tennessee, under the leadership of Bishop Joseph W. Walker III. While serving at Mount Zion, Frenchie accepted his calling to ministry and was licensed as a minister in 2005. Shortly after receiving his license, Frenchie was appointed as Director of Evangelism, where he was responsible for leading the church activities around outreach and evangelizing in the local community. Frenchie was also instrumental in leading nationwide outreach activities sponsored by the Full Gospel fellowship. After serving diligently as Director of Evangelism at Mt Zion, in 2008, Frenchie was led by God to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ all nations, hence H.O.M.E. was founded as a non-profit charitable Christian organization. Since establishing H.O.M.E., Frenchie has completed mission trips to Kenya, India, Brazil, Haiti & Colombia. Frenchie credits his loving wife of 23 years, Elaine Hopkins, and his two kids, Layla and Joshua Hopkins, for being a strong support system that enables him to take the Gospel to all the nations.
