Answorth Hervan Mackenzie Moitt's character is strong in determination; thinks strategically; is self-motivated, with superb integrity. He was birthed on January 18th 1952, on the small but exquisitely beautiful island of Antigua in the West Indies. He is the seventh of ten children born to his mother and the eleventh of his father's sixteen. Both worked to support growing families.
He has had an international education: earned a diploma in Theology at West Indies Theological College, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad; earned a Master of Divinity at School of Theology, Anderson University, Anderson, Indiana; Associate of Arts in Education at Miami-Dade College, Miami, Florida; Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Master of Science in Reading Education respectively from Barry University, Miami Shores, Florida.
Answorth was ordained in 1990 and served as pastor of Zion Church of God, Antigua, from 1987-1990. He and his family answered the call to serve the Tottenham Community Church of God in London, England, 1995- 2001. On completion of ministry there, the family returned to Miami, Florida, 2002, where he planted and pastored the now closed Homestead Community Church of God from 2005-2016.
Answorth is a lover of good humor and comedy. In music, he cherishes classical oratorios such as the Handel Messiah, Elijah and Joseph; old and new gospel songs, as well as the West Indian expressions of the steel band, Reggae and Calypso. For Reggae and Calypso songs, his preferences are those with lyrics of social commentary that helps to awaken and strengthen consciousness of equity and justice within the community. One might even go to the length of saying that the singers of such lyrics are our modern-day prophets. In film, he likes epics/historical drama, action, adventure, and science fiction.
He does not see himself as perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but rather being perfected each day by Christ's empowerment, love and grace.
