Featured Speakers

Benjamin Deitrick

Benjamin Adam Deitrick has been in full time ministry since the age of 17. For the first 10 years of his ministry, he resided in New York and served alongside Eagles’ Wings Ministries under the direction of Bishop Robert Stearns. During this time, he was involved in conference and itinerant ministry in a variety of capacities including speaking, leading worship and being a part of prayer ministry teams. He also served in very practical ways such as taking out trash, cleaning, painting and other manual labor. He sees this time as extremely formative and what created in him a heart for service unto the Lord when no one is watching. It was during his time in New York that Benjamin met and married the love of his life, Tarrah. Shortly after they were married, Benjamin and Tarrah felt to call to serve Barbara Yoder at Shekinah Church in Ann Arbor, Michigan. During his 10 and a half years at Shekinah, Benjamin served as associate Pastor, Executive Pastor, Lead Pastor and Visionary Apostle of the church. In January 2022, he and Tarrah’s season at Shekinah came to an end and they felt the call to move to Maricopa, AZ and come into alignment with Patricia King of Patricia King Ministries apostolically and Pastors Francisco and Deserae Arboleda of Shiloh church locally. 

It was during a season of prayer and seeking the Lord after their transition from Shekinah that God began to speak to Benjamin and Tarrah about launching Ignite Ministries International. Ignite Ministries International is focused on the moving of the Spirit of God in revival, missions and strategic training, igniting a passion for Jesus and His kingdom in hearts, cities and Nations. Benjamin and Tarrah’s desire is to see an apostolic and prophetic people engulfed in the flames of revival, rise as an army in the earth to fulfill the mandate of the great commission. Over the last 21 years of full-time ministry, Benjamin has had the opportunity to travel to 30 of the 50 states and over 40 nations ministering and preaching the word of God with diverse demonstrations of the glory and power of God. Benjamin and Tarrah have been married since 2010 and have three beautiful girls, Faith, Lily and Sophia.
