ABOUT malcolm marshall
Malcolm, who grew up in Dallas but is originally from Las Vegas, did not have the privilege of growing up in Christian home. At the age of 2, his parents separated and unintentionally birthed in him a desire to circumvent that same fate. Up until meeting his in-laws, Malcolm had never seen a marriage that overcame the snare of divorce.
During his sophomore year at Stephen F. Austin State University, Malcolm accepted Christ. Almost exactly four years later, he again responded to the Holy Spirit’s promptings by accepting the call into the ministry and announcing his intention to stand before the masses and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Since that time, Malcolm has served the Kingdom in many different capacities:
Youth Pastor; Adult Bible Study Teacher; Downtown Houston YMCA Chaplain; Director for a Street Evangelism/Community Outreach Ministry; Stepmaster for Step Ministry Teams in Dallas, Las Vegas & Houston.
Malcolm has ministered the Word of God at hundreds of churches, conferences, prisons & youth rallies. He’s certified to share the Gospel in any prison in Texas. He ministers to various age groups all over the United States, but one of his favorite places to share the Gospel is on a college or university campus. He regularly speaks on behalf of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and serves as the lead chaplain for the NBA’s Houston Rockets. In addition, he also ministers the Gospel of Jesus Christ via hip-hop as nationally known recording artist Excelsius.
Malcolm is happily married to the bride of his youth, Stacey. They are the proud parents of one son, Jaren, and two daughters, Madison & Sydney.
