About My Family
I am Ismail Succes. At a young age, a family member spoke over my life and said, “One day, you will become a pastor.” I later realized God was already calling me to share His love and truth. I gave my life to Jesus at 12, and through the guidance of Pastor Delius Petit Frere, my passion for ministry began to grow.
From teaching children in Sunday School to serving in evangelism, worship, outreach, youth ministry, and preaching, God has allowed me to impact lives through His grace. Today, I serve with an amazing team planting Vibrant Church Buffalo in Buffalo, New York, helping people encounter the hope, healing, and transforming power of Jesus Christ. My wife, Bethany, and I are passionate about building a Christ-centered church where families grow, hearts are restored, and lives are changed by the gospel for generations to come now.
