Dawn Richards is the Founder and President of Dawn Richards Ministries (aka Lighthouse Ministries International World Outreach, Inc.).

Dawn received her call into ministry as a young teenager, in which she was commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to: “Lead My people and tell them I’m coming back”.  Later, as a young adult, Dawn surrendered to that call following her salvation and baptism in the Holy Spirit.  Since that time, she has actively sought the purposes and plans of God for her life and ministry.

An active member of World Changers Church International since the beginning of her Christian walk, she is the spiritual daughter of Dr. Creflo A. Dollar, Jr. and Pastor Taffi L. Dollar and has served in the street evangelism, intercessory prayer, and prison ministries of her church throughout these years.  She is also a graduate of the World Changers Ministries School of Ministry.

Dawn is a graduate of the University of Georgia, where she earned a dual Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and English, along with a Spanish minor.  She continued her studies at the University of Georgia School of Law where she earned a Juris Doctorate degree.  Dawn’s commitment to quality education is evidenced by her strong commitment to study, teach, and share the Word of God with others for the edifying of the Body of Christ. Following her educational pursuits, Dawn began her career in the corporate arena, while steadily pursuing her ministry dreams and goals.
