Background

James Walker was born in 1955 to a Mormon family in Jacksonville, Florida. As a fourth generation Mormon, he was trained in their programs. At the age of eight he was baptized and received the "laying on of hands" for the "gift of the Holy Ghost." In his teens, Mr. Walker participated in the baptism for the dead rituals in the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City. He also received the Aaronic Priesthood in which he served as Deacon, Teacher, and Priest. Mr. Walker left the Mormon Church and in 1976 he received Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.

Ministry

Rev. Walker joined the staff of Watchman Fellowship in 1984 and became president of the organization in 1994. Watchman Fellowship is a nonprofit educational organization headquartered in Arlington, Texas, with additional offices in Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.

Watchman Fellowship is an apologetics and discernment ministry that provides research and evaluation on cults, the occult, and new religious movements from a traditional Christian perspective. Rev. Walker is directly involved with evangelism and apologetics in a variety of related fields including Mormonism, the New Age Movement, Jehovah's Witnesses, the Way International, Armstrongism, the Unification Church, Christian Science, Satanism and the Occult.

He teaches and preaches throughout the United States and internationally in hundreds of churches, colleges, and universities. He has also spoken at the chapel services of a number of seminaries including Denver Seminary, Dallas Theological Seminary, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, and the Romanian Baptist Seminary in Oradea, Romania. In addition to teaching, he has also organized and participated in evangelistic outreaches at Jehovah's Witnesses' District Conventions, Mormon temple openings and pageants, and New Age events.

Because of his background and love for those lost in the cults and alternative religions, James Walker has invested his life into reaching them with the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. His desire is to work together with local churches to evangelize those in the cults and to bring them into healthy, Bible-centered churches.
