Greater Love Temple Ministries has been generously blessed by God to have for its pastor one of the world's most prolific, divinely gifted preachers and teachers of our era, Bishop J. G. Riles Sr. Bishop Riles was converted in Austin, Texas, in 1971 at fifteen. He was renowned in his earlier years for being a praise and worship leader and a musician and choir director. Bishop Riles began his national evangelistic ministry at nineteen years old and was a very successful crusader for six years. After visiting the campus of West Texas State University (WTSU) in Canyon, Texas (via an invite as a member of The Tim Curry Singers), Bishop Riles later returned in 1982 to the campus of WTSU to begin his Texas Panhandle ministry with the formation of a gospel choir known as the West Texas Gospel Singers. This gospel choir soon turned into campus Bible studies and weekly church services at the J. A. Hill Chapel, which soon overflowed its banks and exceeded its borders. As a result, the Greater Love Temple Ministries was established. Bishop Riles was blessed in 1989 to unite with First Lady Evangelist, Dr. Georgia Riles. For many years, as a team, they have traveled the country and abroad, conducting conferences, marriage seminars, revivals, and crusades. They have been blessed with five children (three boys and two girls), two godchildren, and eight grandchildren. Now, almost thirty-eight years later, the world is continuing to be blessed by this best-kept hidden secret: this anointed man of God. Bishop Riles has been deemed a "preacher's preacher" and fondly referred to as the the Preaching Machine. He is a gifted writer and is well-known as a skillful, talented guitarist. Several years ago, Bishop Riles recorded an instrumental gospel CD yet to be released. His accomplishments have been many and his efforts fruitful. On behalf of the Greater Love Temple's Ministries, it is our pleasure to present to some and introduce to others the dynamic ministry of our Moses, Bishop J. G. Riles Sr.
