In his late 20’s, a Christian friend told him he would be a millionaire by the age of 30 because God had planted Seeds of Greatness in him and in every believer. This seed was planted in the fertile soil of his heart and grew to greatness in his life for the glory of God. His story is one of transformation … of heart, soul, and mind that has taken him from a boy raised in poverty to a very successful entrepreneur and businessman.

At the age of 22, Dr. Swad went to work at North American Aviation for $1.47 an hour as well as several other part time jobs to make ends meet. At the age of 25, he founded and served as pastor of a church that is still growing today.
