Pastor James Robinson
 As a successful Real Estate Broker in the residential sales market with more than 33 years experience, Pastor James J. Robinson, from the beginning of his career as a salesman, became fascinated with the concepts of contracting, the wonders of compounding interest, and the techniques of creative financing. Having succeeded in these areas and with a desire to expand his expertise, he developed an equal fascination for the property management side of the business, where he would master the art of turning troubled properties around. For his success in this area, he received a Proclamation from the Prince George’s County Council and was one of only ten people in the State of Maryland to receive the Governor’s Citation in 1993.
During his tenure in property management, he was charged with the operation of as many as 5,000 units of rental property in both the private and public sectors. With direct responsibility for procurement, expenses, and the collection of millions of dollars, he quickly developed the values and rewards associated with sound stewardship practices. Having learned well in the secular environment, millionaire status was not only in sight, but was well within reach, when a 30-year old call from childhood to full time ministry began to beckon and became the center of his focus. More compelling than the deceitfulness of riches, the choice to pastor was an easy one. Immediately, he dropped his net, founded, and is currently the Senior Pastor of, The Tree of Life Christian Ministries.
As one of the three major missions of TOLCM, the promotion of economic excellence in God’s house is of deep concern, particularly in light of the abusive and deceptive prosperity message preached so prevalently from the podium today. With the revelations of more than 25 years of study in biblical economics, 33 years of Real Estate, and with what he has learned of secular economics, and having applied what he teaches to his own life and to that of the church he pastors first, his motto is simple:
"The proof's in the pudding and the result speaks clearly for itself.." (Hebrews 13:7)
